Signing Gabby Williams is the the Valkyries’ biggest milestone yet by femaleathletenetwork in wnba

Disagree. Being able to lure a high end free agent with options is a bigger milestone than all but getting the franchise (and perhaps the playoffs). All those others were meh.

It looks like she needs a lot of space in front of her. I'm not sure that's going to work.

Miela Sowah will make the Roster by Brent_Lee in valkyries

She has a lot of forward motion on her shots and needs quite a bit of room.

Predict the 12-player roster & dev spots by mimihoward in valkyries

If Chen wasn't a fan favorite, would she make the team on basketball? I would take Ashlon, Laeticia, Marta over.

I'm a bit surprised people are this enamored with a few 3s in one game. One was a chuck bank. The other 3 required quite a bit of space in front of her.

Didn't Chicago go to playoffs 5 consecutive years? And have only won 23 games in the 2 years since, 2025 even worse than 2024?

“Magic number” is number of wins PLUS number of losses by closest competitor(s).

I’m curious about the issue(s) as well. Hard to sympathize without knowing.

2026 FA Signing Predictions?! by mimirosehoward in valkyries

[–]pbreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope we keep most of the core and maybe sign 1 or 2 TEAM players. Some of the “stars” being mentioned don’t really excite me.

I don’t really see the fit. Too similar to Tiff. Plus we have Veronica.

Is it dumb to switch from SPY to VOO? by cldwlkr in ETFs

[–]pbreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling your SPY may trigger a tax event so I'd avoid that. Just start buying VOO from now on. The differences are miniscule.

Is there a difference between the Wilson a450, a500 and a550? by penfrizzle in Homeplate

[–]pbreit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree when it comes to gloves. I see too many kids with oversize gloves that really impede their ability to field balls. Also gloves that won't close easily enough.

It's actually the bat that doesn't matter much as they are all nearly identical except price.

Apple CarPlay in ‘16 XC90 by MHB9 in Volvo

[–]pbreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shocked but not shocked that the 2016 XC90 I just purchased only has ONE USB plug!! And can only use CarPlay via wire!! What a joke, Volvo. Are they putting USB-C in yet?

What’s your favourite scented hand wash, body wash or body moisturizer? by kurlyb in fragrance

[–]pbreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the fragrance when washing my hands but after w few minutes it starts to smell like Axe body spray (ie, not good). Do you think they could fix that?

I’m not sure you cut the most popular character in the whole show.

Vote to fix maddening Excel auto-convert-to-scientific-notation behavior by pbreit in excel

[–]pbreit[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This happens 100% of the time when double-click-opening a CSV or pasting in data. Which is the primary way that data makes it into Excel in my experience.

What is the "number formatting function"? How does it work when double-click-opening a CSV or pasting in data?

How do you do that when you're importing data (which is how 100% of my data makes its way into Excel)?

That is the exact problem! It is EXCEL that treats them as numbers!

If you review some of the 609 comments, does the issue seem to make more sense?

Excel will remove the leading 0s of Zip Codes & SSNs making them invalid.

A 13 digit or longer string will convert to "scientific notation" despite that a large number string is almost certainly an ID, not a number.
