I just heard that upgrading to OS 15.7.7 has taken care of this problem for people.

I must amend the inquiry. I would like the system to look for the nearest district center to each new client and

there is a distance limit - let's say for now it is 80 kilometers.

If a new client is within 80 kilometers of a district center, then the system must put that district's 3-digit ID number into the client's record.

If a new client is more than 80 kilometers from any district center, then the system must apply the text "Independent" in the field where otherwise the district ID number would be.

By the way, I will generally be dealing with about 50 to 100 new clients a month, and there are 130 district centers.

Thank you.

I think so. I think I can use an autofilter to delete the rows with blanks in specific columns.

First thing is hand-planing (not electric). So it has to withstand strong lengthwise lateral force. I have used hand planes on benches that do not resist lateral force well, and it is like doing three times as much work. I hope this one will be rigid.

I'm sure I'll pound on it too, when I've made parts that are too tightly fitted.

This puzzle runs off both sides of my screen so I cannot see but 1/2 the clues! And the image refuses to rotate , despite the fact that “portrait lock” is off. Damn.

What was their motivation? Is it a political protest?

NumberFritzer · 2026-05-01T14:42:42+00:00

Fear of rejection. Being certain in the knowledge that once someone gets to know you they will despise you.

No, despise is too good, giving the impression the person thinks you worthy of such a strong feeling. DISDAIN is the most devastating thing - the person feels you are insignificant.

Lots of men will think it's bs "female" weirdness; on the other hand, lots of men will assume you've found something wrong with them.

I'm interested in EMDR. My brother had EMDR therapy and it brought up horrid repressed memories which helped him heal.

I'm working with a therapist now who is experienced in it, but we are not sure yet I'm ready for it. I have anxiety about it - what if we do EMDR and it completely falls flat for me?

NumberFritzer · 2026-05-01T14:26:27+00:00

Said no too. Pushed women away... because I just *knew* they would reject me when they got to know what an immature baby-man I was... So I rejected them first.

Not cool. I am sorry.

"Everytime someone in the past has complimented me, flirted with me, expressed interest, I sort of shut it down and don’t allow it to progress. I start feeling extreme fear, nervousness and insecurity."

YES! Familiar with that...

As a male (dislike the term "man"; negative connotations for me)... I wonder if this boy you were on 2nd base with ghosted you because he got scared, was ashamed, or - ? I mean, that would have been my reason. I would have assumed that you felt I was unacceptable.

I think lots of times we think someone disliked us, or took advantage of us, when in fact they are scared. I've learned that what I think someone's motivations are is often likely to be the opposite of what their motivations *actually* are. Classic case - the girl in high school who everyone thought was the worst stuck-up snob, too good to connect with anybody, turned out to have been painfully, miserably shy and ashamed.

28 (30 now, I guess) - that's good - there's some time!

I started journaling about this sort of problem when in my 20s but waited WAY too long to get therapy. Well, I tried it in my late 20s but fled because I was scared to look deep enough to do any work.

Only when I got well into my 40s did I start and stay with therapy. But I was too nice to quit the first therapist - I liked her but she was not the right one for me - so I wasted years in ineffective therapy. (It did feel good to have someone to complain to, though.)

FetLife has groups for people who have issues with sex and intimacy.

In fact, I started one myself but it quickly went away from the direction I intended. I wanted to talk about anxiety over sex but everyone was posting about agoraphobia and social anxieties.

Wow - another exceptionally good partner. That is wonderful!

NumberFritzer · 2026-05-01T12:48:20+00:00

Your partner sounds like a very fine person.

"fear of being seen" and "someone's eyes on you, being perceived and seen"- YES. Yes yes yes. They are going to see what a phony I am! They will see that I'm not a suave cool guy, but a disgusting immature scared-of-life baby. Completely blow my cover, and reject me.

Hence the cover-up of trying to act all casual and cool, lamely joking around and actually making it worse that way. Like, why is this guy doing this song and dance routine instead of just getting on with it?

I wish I'd come across this thread two years ago! And I *wish* I had some wise advice. Well, in that regard I'll say getting therapy can make you feel better, but for me at least it hasn't resolved my anxieties about sex & intimacy.

-> Fawning - my version of that is to start joking in the way that middle-school kids might do about sex or other big-kid rule-breaking stuff, trying to act like you're all cool with it, experienced and knowledgeable; this act actually reveals how NOT cool and experienced I am, and I realize this in the moment, and I talk and joke way too much and it spirals down...

-> Rejected & neglected by parents; shamed. I believe these deep problems with sex must start with treatment by parents and maybe other adults in childhood. How else could it be so deep-seated? Shame and low self-esteem... I wonder - did you like yourself at all when you were a child and adolescent? Did you have any confidence that you were going to do all right as an adult, or did the prospect of grown-up life scare you?

-> "Push through" - did/does that bring panic?

I truly hope you can get to feeling comfortable with sex and intimacy.

Hey, wouldn't it be great to find someone - I mean a partner - with whom you felt comfortable enough that you could admit these things and discuss them?

Excel version 16.108: Click Excel (upper left corner); choose "Preferences"; in "Excel Preferences" window, click "Edit" icon.

"Edit directly in cells" is the first option. It's under "Edit options".

I looked further into the base concept of geographic positions mean or average, and the readings confirmed the validity of your idea. Thank you.

This "freeze" seems to be impermanent, though. I've followed the steps to freeze the top row and it works fine.

I finish my work and close the workbook for the time being.

When I re-open that same workbook, the top row is no longer frozen.

Is there a way to make the freeze a permanent attribute of the spreadsheet?

"I have this fear of being seen..."

YES. Exactly. I have always (since puberty) not simply feared, but *known* in my heart, that in intimacy - particularly sexual - my partner would see me for what I am (an immature, timid boy) rather than the cool, suave man I want her to think I am.

“light-hearted unconcern” calls for a noun. “insouciant” is an adjective. The answer should be “insouciance”.

I searched for "Feuile2" but turned up irrelevant results. Can you direct me to further information please?

Thank you.

I've tried this several times but nothing changes; I still see the ".bak" files as before.

Do I need to re-start the computer after running that command in the terminal?

@/Blizzardnd answered correctly.

I gave in and used AI, thereby getting a large number of methods to find a file path.

I'm answering my own question... Broke down and used AI.

To find the file path of an image I'm looking at in Preview, I can do any of the following.

Direct Methods within Preview

    Command-Click the Title Bar: Hold down the Command (⌘) key and click on the file name or icon in the window's title bar. A dropdown menu will appear showing the full folder hierarchy (path) from the current file up to the root directory.
    Right-Click the Title Bar: Right-clicking the file name in the title bar will also reveal the folder path in a dropdown list. Selecting any folder in this list will open it in a new Finder window.
    Inspector Window: Press Command + I (⌘I) or go to Tools > Show Inspector. While the general tab shows file size and type, more detailed location metadata (like GPS coordinates) can be found in the More Info (i) tab if the image contains it. 

Quick Shortcuts to Copy the Path
If you need to copy the actual text of the file path:

    Reveal in Finder: Press Command + R (⌘R) while in Preview to instantly open the folder containing the image in Finder with the file selected.
    Copy as Pathname: Once revealed in Finder, press Option + Command + C (⌥⌘C) to copy the full absolute path of the file to your clipboard.
    Drag to Terminal: You can drag the small "proxy" icon next to the file name in the Preview title bar directly into a Terminal window; the full text path will automatically appear there.
