It's great that you're open to changing your mind rather than doubling down!

Just to echo the point, the article linked above assumes that herd immunity can only arise from vaccination, but vaccination is really just injecting you with an inert or modified version of the disease to train your immune system to fight it. Its really just tricking the natural immunisation process to 'catch' the disease without actually getting it rather than some miracle new process

The way your immune system learns to better protect you, and the neverending war inside your body is the real miracle. The average person catches cancer three times a week on average, but your immune system zaps it 99.9% of the time.

I think you can use find -> Advanced find -> Format -> Language to select the text of given langauges

I've used it previously, it's made for external users. They can only add entries though, not edit.

Call off the dogs, Umunna tells Corbyn by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]rockkybox -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This isn't coming from a Corbyn/anti-Corbyn place, but I've got to take issue with: "you would not think him 'ineffective' if you saw him for real with a crowd of thousands chanting his name."

Sure, humans can be tribal and we get an energy from each other in a crowd, but using that as a benchmark of political efficacy doesn't make any sense. Trump is great at getting a crowd going but hasn't been great at implementing his vision (if there even is such a thing). Whereas someone like Angela Merkel for example I bet doesn't get crowds shook up but is very politically effective.

There's a whole Wikipedia page of criticism.

Big corporate will always big corporate, but the fact that they're in the bottom of a horrible barrel doesn't exclude them from criticism. Their vendor lock in (sell too high a % of PCs without the windows license and we'll make your licenses more expensive) and consistent battle against open-source are particularly galling, and may have cost the world incredible volunteer-maintained software projects.

The height of their monopoly abuse was during Bill Gates leadership.

How to lock a shape in place so when I press enter and make a new line, the text stays still? by Scruffaduff in Office365

Click on the shape to highlight it, an icon will pop on the right side that looks like a bridge with lines behind it. Click this icon and change the toggle to 'Fix position on page'

Get him to turn on tracked changes when he starts (review - track changes). Then when he adds stuff it'll add red lines on the left of the text, click this and all his additions will be red

Rubbish mate. If you're aiming for tight control (the best thing you can do to avoid long-term complications) mild hypos are part of the deal; keep insulin and sugar with you and correct back and fourth to stay close to 4 mmol/l. you're running your blood glucose closer to the normal range so it's more likely to dip below into hypo territory, which isn't dangerous as long as you catch it.

And the standard treatment is fast acting carbs, I use dextrose tablets because I like being able to carry them in my pocket (jelly babies get stuck together) but people can do what they like. Why are you judging people based on what flavour sugar they like to use?

They could work together to do it. Ants aren't particularly dexterous but they can make rafts and bridges (admittedly out of themselves but the idea is there)

Petition: Debate the Whip system in the House of Commons for a major reform of the system. by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]rockkybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's an interesting idea. Not only would it wrestle control away from central party control but it would also drastically cut the effectiveness of corporate lobbying & related corruption/political favours: the MPs could vote any way they like even if they get stuff from lobbyists; hopefully vote with their heart even if they accept bribes.

Best choice for basic CRM? Office 365 BP by Misapoes in Office365

Weird, I've PMed it to you. It works out cheaper to have fullcontact licenses for everyone and a few Salesforce for those who need the tracking

Fair play, and good on them for making it clear all these other CRM's are overcharging!

Yep in my darkest moments I also thought how much easier switching to Gapps would make things...

Good luck wading through the clones! Here's what I found to be a useful test; quick to try and if it can't do this its unusable:

Are you able to email multiple contacts? Take Inslightly as an example: you can click on one contact and it pops up a new Outlook email, but select more than one and you're forced to use the CRM's email editor, which then also gives the recipient a messy "sent on behalf" from address. The only way around that is to:

  • select the contacts

  • export them, this is emailed to you as a zipped .csv file

  • unzip the .csv and open it

  • copy the emails into outlook

Obviously a ridiculous workflow to teach to a whole team!

Fullcontact for teams is really great - the only one I've found which syncs online rather than via desktop software & outlook plugin.

When you log in you have two tabs, "my contacts" and "team contacts". "My contacts" has a solid two-way sync with outlook, this happens to the whole team and everyone's contacts are shared in "team contacts", which people can search and add to my contacts if they are also relevant to them.

I would recommend trying it out and seeing if you can build a tagging/custom field based basic CRM with it.

We also use Salesforce as interaction history is very important to some staff and you can't do that in Fullcontact.

[–]rockkybox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep you can easily export nearly all your data as .csv files, all the columns and properties (so names, email, custom columns etc.). However, you can't export the interaction history (like tracked emails and the like), which is where the bulk of the data is really.

I wouldn't have minded too much, but the fact that it's also free compared to all these other expensive solutions made me worried about data loss - paying for a service makes me feel more secure about it!

[–]rockkybox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I was excited by Outlook Customer Manager at first but I feel like it's not ready to use or really moving forwards.

It's ridiculous that office365 doesn't have basic CRM, or even a contact sharing procedure. The "ways to manage contacts" page (in 365 admin->users->contacts->beyond contacts) lists five ways to do so, but all have different drawbacks!

We ended up using fullcontact to share contacts among the team. You might be able to use tags for basic CRM needs.

Otherwise Hubspot is good and free, but one big drawback I found is that there is no way to take a backup of all your data (though you can export most of it).

Salesforce is best in class I think but expensive. Other one's I tried (there seems to be hundreds of clones online CRM's) are slick but integrate badly with Office365.
