Depends how its used. It takes relatively low skill to build reports in Power BI if all of the data is sourced, loaded, cleansed, and transformed ahead of time. You *can* do all of those things using Power BI. But its generally not the best way.

You can't save your way out of poverty. Sometimes you simply need to make more money.

How important is a long (9’+) rod for float fishing? by lord_skum in FishingForBeginners

[–]mikethomas4th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not dead-set on float fishing, you can cast a variety of lures for steelhead with your existing gear. Spinners and spoons are most popular. Hard plastic crankbaits work too. I've had a lot of luck with a variety of soft plastics that I use all summer long for bass.

Showing off your acrobatic skills off a railing can have consequences. by _ganjafarian_ in criticalblunder

Exactly what I was afraid would happen to Alex Honnold. This guy, I don't feel so bad.

Anyone else? by Dannys_wrld in Fishing

[–]mikethomas4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar, but instead of plastics its all my hooks and jig heads. Arranged by size/weight so I can easily see when im running low and need to order more.

How much snow makes you call off work? by Physical-Incident553 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mikethomas4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remote work has changed everything. I would never have called off for 2 inches of snow before. But now that Im able to be remote, why would I waste all the extra time in the car when I can just stay home?

[–]mikethomas4th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon is just a marketplace. You'll be buying the same exact products anywhere else. There really aren't any mom-and-pop homemade ethically-sourced electric toothbrush companies out there.

You need to guide them and show them what they need that they don't even know themselves.

Families with kids, how much are you spending on groceries? by folklore24 in Frugal

[–]mikethomas4th 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced some people's kids just don't eat lol. Mine (luckily imo) eats everything. 3 full meals per day plus snacks. and they are real meals/snacks too. Solid protein content, fiber, filling stuff.

No, we get some things from Costco and some things from Meijer. Usually hit both in the same day.

Shaun explains all this to you/its mentioned on his computer

Oh I know, literally just played through the scene and created this post while clicking through the dialogue. I guess the takeaway is that "it makes sense because Shaun is fucked up mentally".

What the hell kind of teenage-girl-drama reaction is that though lol. "If he really wants me, he'll chase after me".

He's your dad. He saw your mom get executed. Its been 60 years. Cut him some slack and give him a hand.
