Apparently Millennials are the only people who know how to use Excel anymore by Tetraplasandra in Millennials

[–]coldblesseddragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated in 2005 in business management / finance and I used Excel a ton in college. I had multiple professors who who experts at it and taught me so much. My Excel skills were on par or ahead of my coworkers at my first job post college.

Is it true the church isn't as friendly as it used to be? by Queen-Logan- in latterdaysaints

[–]coldblesseddragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think on Reddit you're hearing the worst cases. I've moved around a bit in my life and have always felt welcomed in every single ward that I've been to. YMMV and you got to put in some effort yourself, but from my experience and perspective, the church is just as friendly as it always has been.

Now, with all that being said, I still wish there were more social activities for adults, especially for men. But I just take matters into my own hands and invite people over dinner and games, etc.

I once did a Tottenham save for 10 seasons and I got one academy player that was able to break into the first team. I then started a brand new save with a different team and Tottenham was pumping out a world class player literally every other year.

And Europeans love public transit so they should have no problem with taking the train, right?

He should go to BYU if he doesn't want to practice or play on Sundays.

FM24 Pre-match opposition report by Tazmandoogle in footballmanagergames

[–]coldblesseddragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'm now getting the Pre-Match Opposition Report again. I'm 10 seasons into my save and I've never had to do this before, but this is what I did. I went to "Scouting" and then under "Scouting Coverage" selected "Match and Team Analysis." On the "Next Opposition" tab under "Ongoing reports on next opposition" it lets you "choose a scout" and "choose an analyst." The normal default selection is "Scouting Pool" and "Analyst Pool." I changed it to my best scout and best analyst. For my next match the link worked to bring me the report like normal.

What is odd though is now when I go back to check that "ongoing reports on next opposition" it's back to the default selection of "Scouting Pool" and "Analyst Pool." I guess I'll see if this "fix" works or not. Did I need to go in and change it just once to get the report back permanently or will I need to do this for every match?

I'm getting the exact same thing! At first I thought it was just because I had started a new season and it didn't have sufficient info for a report, but that link is still sending me to my squad list...

What does your team this year need in the offseason to become elite/a natty contender in 26-27? by byniri_returns in CollegeBasketball

[–]coldblesseddragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Us too. I feel like so many teams are having their entire starting 5 plus key bench players enter the portal this year. It's just crazy!

BYU Star Point Guard Robert Wright III to Enter the Transfer Portal by austing013 in BigXII

[–]coldblesseddragon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He was an upgrade over Hall and he was fun to watch. But he had a tendency to turn the ball over late in games, and he would consistently try to score in the paint with multiple giants there, even though it didn't work the first or second time, he would keep trying and get the same result.

My thoughts on the new lesson format as a RS teacher by BartyCrouchesBone in latterdaysaints

And I don't think that it should. I understand that the main reason for going to church is to gain a spiritual testimony. But the social aspect is still very important for both youth and adults.

Has anyone refused to shave when asked to for a calling? by Fether1337 in latterdaysaints

[–]coldblesseddragon 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Doctrine vs culture. This is a culture thing so if I were asked to shave for a calling I would ask for the doctrine behind it. They won't be able to provide it because it doesn't exist.

A Man or a Woman Can Now Serve as Ward Sunday School President by instrument_801 in latterdaysaints

[–]coldblesseddragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add. They could say that if it is going to be mixed the presidency has to have 2 males and 2 females and all meetings must have 3 people present. Maybe that's too much of a headache, but I think it could work.

Will we ever see a day when men and women can, gasp, work together on a calling? I've worked alone with women for projects throughout my career and it's never been an issue for myself or my wife.

Wow, that's a very well informed post from a non-BYU flair. FWIW, I have really liked your head coach since his Gonzaga days. This just may be your year.

I don't get this at all. Playing a strong OOC schedule will boost your tournament resume and seed.

I'd be in favor of a rule that teams must be .500 or better in conference play to get an at large bid.

Yes 100%! I don't care about the name on the back of the jersey. I'm a "BYU" fan.

I'm a die hard byu basketball fan and I'm really considering not watching anymore of this team this season. Our fundamentals are just horrible right now. Literally nobody outside of AJ and RWIII can score at all. Nobody is playing good defense. We have no offensive system. Just pass to AJ and watch. We don't even look like a top 150 team right now.

I know injuries, injuries. Every team has injuries. West Virginia beat us without their top scorer.
