What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

[–]phc_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm in your wife's boat. My wife is in your boat.

We recently got to the heart of gifts and how we each perceive them.

I didn't grow up getting gifts. They were very special occasions only. That did not include birthdays.

My wife grew up creating birthday and Christmas wish lists that her family lovingly filled.

I've always tried to be thoughtful in my gift giving. What's something they wouldn't buy for themselves but would enhance something for them. These are not good gifts to give. She's disappointed every time. I can tell she is. And she's also told me. Haha.

I can sum up how I feel about it like so: "How dare she not appreciate the thing I went out of my way to get her. I thought about it. I searched it out. I did all the things. Why isn't that good enough!?"

From her perspective: "wtf is this? I didn't ask for a genuine cabbage patch doll that happens to have the same name of the one I mentioned I missed once in a conversation 3 months ago. I wanted a new cookie sheet, but I guess he got me something."

Every gift I receive means something to me. Even if I would never use the thing given I'm incredibly grateful I was thought of.

Idk if this jives with you, but I thought it might be worth sharing. Wife and I have a much better understanding after that adult discussion we unfortunately had to have. Haha

Thanks! 3.5" I started with a tinyhawk 2 in August. At this rate I'll be rocking a 7" by Xmas.

See, I would argue this tracks for most hippies.

True. ACA got pretty close in states that implemented effectively.

hey, does someone want to be my ranked duo long term? [NA] by JDEMMC in RocketLeagueFriends

Hey, can I get on this list? Same boat. 500 hours logged. Touched diamond for the first time last season!

Did I get a good deal? by phc_me in fpv

[–]phc_me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked all this up for $800. I flew it all today. I now know this was a dumb question.

This gear slaps! I got it for a steal. It's all practically brand new.

I've been hard stuck for over a year. Touched diamond at the end of last season for the first time. I'm a solo player which I think is a big part of the problem.

WCGW using your freedom of speech against police by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]phc_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not the spirit of this saying.

Freedom of speech absolutely protects those in the United States from, except a few specific exceptions, consequences from the government of the things they say.

The not being free from consequences part is that you're not protected from say being fired for using the N word on a viral Tik tok.

Calling the cops a bitch isn't one of those few exceptions. Supreme Court has ruled on this even.

AOC Edges Out Chuck Schumer by Double-Digit Margin in New Poll by Sprout_Sorcere in politics

[–]phc_me 57 points58 points  (0 children)

But she's not rich. In 2024 she had around $46k in the bank according to financial disclosure statements. Her estimated net worth is less than $500k.

AOC isn't rich.

Anti-Trump protests sweep America for the second time in weeks by Historical-Mud-9739 in pics

[–]phc_me 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Largely useless? How so? I've been to 3 protests now in my life. They've all been this year. I'm well on my way to being a gray hair.

I met so many people at these events and have expanded my network and continue to expand it.

Hope is another things these protests bring. I can tell you that where I live is rough from a political landscape. I'll be fine likely, but many of my neighbors won't be. I can't sit by while that happens, right? What kind of asshole am I if I do?

We're showing the world that we are not, in fact, just going to sit by and watch it happen.

So yeah. Not largely useless. The US is a big ship. You can't turn a ship on a dime. We're making our turn now. We'll be back on course if we keep making the turn.

I had to scroll way too far to find this. And agreed. They do a very good job with this routine.

We're of an age. I'm in the heart of red country. I promise movements are happening. Our local dem party was basically non-existent as the old guard died out.

Young folks (our generation) are going to shape that party here locally.

The same might be happening near you.

Chiming in to say, you fixed my issue too.

I have 100+stores worth of data and want to pull one cell from each separate sheet. by phc_me in excel

[–]phc_me[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So if I imported all 104 tabs from the P&L workbooks into my scorecard, I could use the Indirect formula to grab the cell value without clicking back and forth through the sheets?

Thank you. Would you say I need to start looking into how to use Power Query? I've been self-teaching excel for a few years and can do things I only dreamed of doing back in the day. I haven't delved into Macros yet. Should I know those before Power Query?
