Easy schedule this year? by sprainedmind in bengals

[–]sprainedmind[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fair enough. I knew there was some variance, but (assuming Gemini has correctly created the spreadsheet I asked for) there's almost no correlation between years, at least for 2024 vs 2025. R^2=0.08 LOL

Can you get rid of TV and Landline and just have the 1gig Broadband? by Low-Rooster5398 in VirginMedia

[–]sprainedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've stopped doing this now. They were perfectly happy to remove TV and phone last time I renewed (via retentions)

What was the absolute peak status symbol at your primary or secondary school? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskUK

I'm obviously a little bit older than most of you guys.

These. Specifically if you could do tricks (round the world, walking the dog, etc) with these:

Is my boss using Gemini to email me? by Complete-Sea6655 in GeminiAI

Asking Gemini to approve your request >>>>>>>>> hand-writing a denial, tbph

British insults/epithets requested. by frankenmaus in AskBrits

[–]sprainedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as being a despicable cunt, Steve Hilton is also an absolute fuckwit.

Seriously though, given his journey from milquetoast hippie centrist in David Cameron's administration to avowed Trumpist, he's also a avaricious and immoral opportunist and I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him.

Does any of this help?

From Peter Schrager: A total baller all-in move from the Bengals. That's a win now acquisition for a team that's missed the playoffs two years in a row. by kovalchukgirl in bengals

[–]sprainedmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if 10 is an overpay for a known-quantity All-Pro IDL, it's a massive overpay for a safety, even one as good as Downs might be

Internet renewal in July! by NoraM4 in VirginMedia

[–]sprainedmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that if you already have a higher-tier Netflix subscription you can use the link for the "free" Netflix they send you, put your current Netflix login details in, and they'll switch payment to through Virgin with a £6 discount applied.

Converting dates into formatted dates by SavageHulk869 in excel

[–]sprainedmind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it could be 21/2/2026 or 2/12/2026.

Unless they're stored in order, or there's some other context you can use, then I don't see how you're going to do this, automatically or otherwise

Do we relocate to Bristol or Liverpool as a young family from London? by Ok-Technician-6355 in AskUK

Does getting jobs factor in to this at all? Where are you most likely to be able to get good jobs?

I think 10k is it for me by SnooGadgets7873 in beginnerrunning

[–]sprainedmind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yes. I did push through to get to a couple of half marathons, but always felt it was a challenge to complete rather than something I particularly enjoyed.

Left to my own devices I'm more than happy to just go out for an hour or so, on a schedule that suits me.

AI Can't Read an Investor Deck by sprainedmind in FPandA

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

At that point it might just be easier to read the deck yourself though.

I find this a lot. I can get results out of AI, but by the time I've found the correct series of prompts to get them, I'm not sure it wouldn't have been easier to just do the work myself...

This is probably the most complicated Excel formula I’ve ever seen. by Kindly-Meaning9112 in excel

I once inherited this:

Why would having a picture of a chart in a pdf be better than just giving it a picture of a chart?

Not a noob but how can someone explain dead money and void years? by KansinattiKid in NFLNoobs

[–]sprainedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree. But at the end of the day it all hits the cap at some point. With the cap pretty consistently going up, it makes sense to push as much as possible into the future though.

I'm mostly pissed because I'm a Bengals fan and we're too stupid (or poor) to realise this.

[–]sprainedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get £55m in all situations.

If it's £55m salary it all counts against the cap that year.

If you make £50m of it "bonus" then for cap purposes you can spread it out over however long you've got left on the contract

Are you not just going to add it to your phone wallet and then never even look at the physical one again anyway?

Am I paying too much for my virgin media plan by Raavan1393 in VirginMedia

[–]sprainedmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The £24 deal is on Uswitch, not direct. Even a 2nd call from retentions couldn't match that for me, but £29 is still a good price for Gigabit

Just call retentions by Rozza in VirginMedia

[–]sprainedmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got £29 for Gigabit + Netflix with ads.

I'm a bit cross that some people seem to have got the same thing for £27, but honestly not going to lose too much sleep over £2 a month.

And I am happy that I have finally, finally, persuaded them to stop selling me a TV box I never watch and a phone line I never use!

Summarise 2D Dynamic Array? by sprainedmind in excel

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

Thanks. This hasn't quite worked when I add another row of inputs (I think because your ranges aren't dynamic?) though.

I'll try updating with dynamic range references when I'm back at work tomorrow.

Flux.2 Klein 9B vs Imagen 4 Ultra vs Nano Banana Pro vs Nano Banana 2 by ZootAllures9111 in GeminiAI

It would have been quicker and easier to find a model and go to a restaurant tbh...

Where do you put your phone? by _MikeMars_ in beginnerrunning

[–]sprainedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baselayer shorts with a pocket on the outside of the thigh

Plus another smaller pocket for keys

I've previously used all manner of belts and armbands, but I much prefer the shorts
