This is cropped in a ways, the 16x9 version is on my Pixelfed page.

NGL I love how this came out

I captured this with my Lumix G9 with my 100-300mm lens (at 300mm) with a 1 second shutter speed.

Last night one of my coworkers (and good friends) was struggling with trying to make a multiplication table in a spreadsheet for something work related.

Basically they needed to calculate the pounds per cubic foot of a given object based on it's estimated dimensions and weight. And wanted a multiplication table so that they could at a glance check if it was the correct freight class based on that value. They do cost adjustments so getting this at a glace means that they have more time to chill when attempting to make their inspection goals at work. (We treat our production targets at work like a cheap contractor treats local building codes)

After an hour of back and forth, trying to figure out why the numbers in our table were so catastrophically wrong. We finally figured it out. When we made the formula we accidentally made it calculate cubic inches per pound rather than pounds per cubic foot.

Once we figured that out it took no time at all to fix. Literally swapping what was being divided by what and ensuring the units were correct.

Thank you for attending my TED Talk, we'll be taking questions now.

Edit: And before anyone asks, yes we got paid for our efforts. I know what I'm about.

And no the boss doesn't know we did this because they don't need to know that we mad our job easier.

We're in this together, and we need to stick together.

Don't abandon your comrades!

I was listening to the System of a Down Album Toxicity again and the song Deer Dance had this lyric in it, and I had to share.

You can't be neutral right now, you have to fight back however you can.

Give the album a listen if you haven't, it's a banger and is still relevent to this day 24 years after it's release.

It's about 42 minutes long but it's worth it. You won't regret it.
