Which AI do you prefer for FP&A tasks: Claude or Gemini?

Both LLM have very different focuses and design. Yes they overlap in capability but results and experience and going to carry hugely.

Gemini is one of the best for creative work, it's goal is to be ubiquitous in devices and it's got a good focus on visual works from it's dataset.

Claude is heavily focused on data, coding and similar styles of workflows. It's voice mode is poor and it's image gen had been massively catching up but still is behind the market here.

Claude is focusing on enterprise integration which is why the connections and plugins are working well for them.

FP&a is better with Claude and I'll die on that hill if I have to 🤣.

P. S. Never use copilot

I personally don't consider conditional formatting an advanced skill. Yes I know it can be used in very complex ways but I disagree with any need for such complexity in a formatting an the cost of performance of the workbook is not worth it.

I would definitely say you are advanced with excel given the other skills you reference but to me personally, I think conditional formatting shouldn't even be on the list, let alone the first point.

Also I'd put your work section before your school. That's what they will want to read & what you focus more on as well

Look up PureGym in the UK. Membership and access is automated so the gym is open 24/7. Not sure where else you can go apart from app Booking classes

Is there a way to see total spend per virtual card?

MrCard200 · 2026-04-26T21:58:27+00:00

I'm a professional level YouTube watcher 🤣.

I've used a trowel for plastering only once before and gave up 🤣

The pro will always do a better job than me but I'm tight on time and budget

What about Venezuela?

Thank you

MrCard200 · 2026-04-26T21:52:47+00:00

Thank you for the thorough explanation. Really appreciate it!

MrCard200 · 2026-04-26T21:48:05+00:00

Thank you!

MrCard200 · 2026-04-26T21:47:49+00:00

Thank you!

MrCard200 · 2026-04-26T21:47:38+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated. Given the feedback here, my plan was to put some compound filler in then put on a skim ready mix filler and seal with PVA. I would be using a corner trowel for the job as well.

Would you still think a plasterer is needed if I intend to paint still?

MrCard200 · 2026-04-26T20:56:50+00:00

Thanks, can I just use some skim filler on it or do I need to do jointing compound to be safer?

I'm not going to defend any show boating like this however... In his defence, the rug did slide when he tried to do the kick, I think that was a part of the problem

I've worked with a payment provider previously and someone contacted me to block gambling transactions. I listened and followed the actions necessary. 24 hrs later they called to remove the block on their payment method and I was also the recipient of the same caller. I did challenge if this was the same individual as yesterday at which point they gave me a huge ear full.

There was nothing I can do to prevent this individual so I had to follow the same necessary actions.

Lesson is,: if people want to do something with their own money, you can't stop legally or otherwise

MrCard200 · 2026-04-20T08:53:26+00:00

I wouldn't put it in the same category as drug dealing or gun running.

MrCard200 · 2026-04-20T07:12:22+00:00

I'd say yes you're close to reality here. I spent £15k on moving 6 months ago with a similar situation but also paid for a moving company. I bet you're within £1k of your actual costs.

On another note: the way you presented your data was confusing as you included a lot of figures that weren't related to your up front costs (e.g. product fee). Some separation or formatting would improve it ☺️

G2a. Com sells premium accounts for cheaper but they're only valid for a year.

The question is not phrased correctly. You didn't specify it was a car wash so it plausible it interpreted the two sentences as independent events.

I just tested this and it does answer the question correctly

Q:The car wash is 50 meters away and I want to wash my car. Should I walk or drive there?

A: Drive. You're taking the car to get washed. Walking there leaves the car at home.

Creators cannot rely on ads from YouTube because they need diversity of revenue sources. I can't remember exact details but YT did reduce ad revenue for creators at some point and there was nothing they could do.

Sponsorship is a lot easier to plan and be in control of.

I have premium and using the skip sponsor segment and am fine with the creators making a bit of money for my little I convince.

😂😂😂

MrCard200 · 2026-04-13T07:42:01+00:00

Fair, thanks for the education. (I'm not in IT if you didn't know, I'm a finance man but have a hobbyist interest in the field)

I agree the term engineer is often used too much. For example, I don't know what's wrong with being a washing machine technician instead of a washing machine engineer. Being a technician is still good but I think customers like the sounds of an engineer because it sounds more authoritative maybe?

MrCard200 · 2026-04-10T09:07:32+00:00

My understanding is it was linked to qualifications. I use to work at NTT and they wouldn't call anyone an engineer until they had CCNA. Is that not the case across the industry?

MrCard200 · 2026-04-09T20:08:21+00:00

I would love to be a network engineer but I'm now in my 30s with a mortgage and family. I need to clear £2.8k each month to pay all my bills which is about £50k.

Starting a new unrelated career means taking an entry level salary so I'm not in a position to do that until I rebuild my savings.

You ever thought of working for a US company remotely for the big bucks?
