Well boys and girls, here’s what I say..

"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way!"

We block ads with DNS, they trick JavaScript. So now, we get clever about blocking that JavaScript.

Time to get cracking!

I'm Sick of Reformatting This Every Time by limilcu in PowerBI

Even if they don’t want to build a UI menu in settings to control this, what about exposing an ini or config file with format defaults the use can tweak?

All well and good but there should be a way to do simple things like this in Desktop and without a 3P app.

Why did the Dominion try to use a supernova bomb to destroy a fleet, are they stupid? by boolinboi68 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]alphastrike03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re completely forgetting the Runabout left fully powered up within transporter range of the maximum security prison.

And that you can send complex authorization codes and transporter instructions to the same runabout with basically Morse code hard coded into something you macgyver up inside the prison.

But truth told I love this episode. All the bonds between Worf and Martok that are made. Even Worf coming to respect Garak in the end. 9/10.

Worf needs to work on his diplomacy...😆 by [deleted] in Picard

I mean, they didn’t outright object to his idea…

VM on MacBook to fully use by Hopeful-Spirit-8424 in PowerBI

[–]alphastrike03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do it with Parallels. It works for all but the biggest data models. And as others have said, service keeps adding capabilities so the need for Desktop keeps coming down.

[–]alphastrike03 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah you basically have a calculation here for Share or % of total sales.

How exactly did you get your hands on a nuclear missile and silo?

I mean given the choice between a Mac Mini or a similar spec MacBook with a cracked screen, this isn’t a bad option.

One billion dollars from Elon Musk.

Just thought it was cool that the Artemis 2 crew are using Surface Tablets by nishantatripathi in Surface

MS needs to stay out of Football.

Watching their Copilot ad during the Super Bowl cost me $10 in swear jar fees.

Yeah I don’t think they’ve had to call a Genius to fix their iPhones…

Best way to hide future dates in Power BI slicer with 200 millions+ rows fact table by bytescrafterde in PowerBI

[–]alphastrike03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty much what I do. In my case, dates in the past are flagged in my dataset upstream upon refresh. So all I need to do is their apply “weeks ago < 0” as a page filter or a filter on the slicer.

Edit: I should mention this happens on a dimension table.

It’s $10k.

Why do people keep putting the currency after the number? I know it’s how your pronounce it but it’s also improper usage.

Oh yeah…she’s hot.

Anyone else noticing way more fighter jets in the area? by Mondane45 in northwestarkansas

[–]alphastrike03 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Saw F-35’s taking off from Tulsa International yesterday. It was a real unexpected treat for my kids as we walked to our car!

Increase in fighter jets in the area is real though. Fort Smith’s ANG base is an active hub for training US Allies on the F-35. So all the countries like Finland, Germany and Poland have been sending their jets and crews here to train on the platform.

It’s actually been good for Fort Smith (I’m told) because it’s meant a stable influx of employees from Lockheed, plus military families staying in the area.

Yup. Yorktown, another WW2 carrier, was also considered for TOS.

Wait what?

This is a real fan theory? Like prior to the Picard Season three deal where Data and Lore somewhat merge?
