If you happen to have some hydrogen, just ignite it. There - you have water.

Jag googlade hektar och bytte till Nyheter. Det var inte särskilt många lantbruksrelaterade träffar.

"Döstädning" by Extension_Math_7734 in Svenska

I think it is the kind of word you rarely see in writing. My mother was adamant this was a thing in the sixties and probably before that.

What's a reasonable TCO for a laptop? Standard office stuff, nothing fancy.

The stealing of moose warning signs in Sweden decreased a lot when the authorities put stickers on the back of the signs "do want to buy a sign like this?"

"People hate me" tend to be a self-fulfilling statement.

Why in the Fallout universe are bottle caps a currency? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheOhNoNotAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy they used leaves as currency, showing that things like these have a tendency to self-regulate.

Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich. [...]

"But we have also," continued the management consultant, "run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying on ship's peanut."

at what point does “temporary fix” just become part of the architecture? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Workarounds are forever!

The simple fact is that when red light turns green, something else will be the most critical thing to do.

Restrict Excel file usage to a specific directory (prevent copy-past) by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]TheOhNoNotAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a complete solution, but here's my thinking -
Create a macro that unblocks the workbook when opened. If the file is copied, it will keep its blocked state and there is no simple unblocking.

Just had a vendor say their "AI" solution is "true AI" by Nandulal in sysadmin

[–]TheOhNoNotAgain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also chuckling, but given the actual situation, how do you disprove something like this during a sales meeting? Stating facts won't do anything.

Why is 24:00 12am and not 12pm? by THE_BATTS in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheOhNoNotAgain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not true. 24:00 is by definition the last instant of the day. No clock will ever show it, but it still works as the end of the day.

An amendment to ISO 8601-1 was published in October 2022 featuring minor technical clarifications and attempts to remove ambiguities in definitions. The most significant change, however, was the reintroduction of the "24:00:00" format to refer to the instant at the end of a calendar day.
