The last time Maxime Bernier won his seat was 2015, the last time he ran as a Conservative.

I used sheets because it was portable and flexible, but now I'd almost always just use a db instead.

My main use for excel now is "I need to send data to someone who isn't a programmer" and doing json > CSV conversions to see if my 3000 rows of data from a 3rd party have all the necessary bits.

I really enjoyed spreadsheets before becoming a programmer (I still enjoy them, I just spend less time on them) and basically self taught over the years using Google Sheets.

There are several really useful functions on sheets that simply do not exist in Excel, and there are others that work almost the same but not quite. Having to use Excel drives me insane sometimes because of how clunky it feels.

By contrast, using LibreCalc feels kinda how you'd expect an open source Google Sheets to feel? It's slightly clunkier, but it gets the job done and generally feels better to use than Excel

My partner was eligible for ~$750 per month repayments under a Biden era plan that Trump scrapped. They now have to pay ~$4300 per month. The headline isn't far off.

Great, now I'm Swedish

Apparently that's because I misremembered the band name this morning lol.

Youtube link to the song that introduced me. They do electronic stuff based on DnD classes or 40k lore.

This is why I specified "nearly" the worst. It can absolutely get the job done and has basically every tool you'd need to do the job, but it's pretty much the worst amongst the "this will do everything you need" options.

My thought process was abacus < pen & paper < text file < spreadsheet < database solutions

I've been listening to The Barenaked Ladies & Great Big Sea a lot the last week, with a little Endless Taverns mixed in.

It was only a matter of time until the kings of human misery came out with one.

You could run empires on the back of a spreadsheet.

You absolutely shouldn't, it's nearly the worst option you have available, but you could.

Chatting with buddies, we'll use "our friend Luigi" as shorthand semi-frequently

Something that might make it less suspicious, the PEI Premier became eligible for pension less than a week before he stepped down (it also killed a subpoena to provide a report that the government has been trying to hide for the better part of 18 months)
