On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.
For the record, the problem in Norway was that government programs to encourage electric vehicle ownership were too successful and incentivized people to drive instead of use transit. Also, the financial incentives for purchasing electric cars mostly went to people who were already wealthy.
Leopards eating faces is exactly what this is, though. "Muslim who supports Christian Nationalists because they hate gay people shocked that Christian Nationalists also hate Muslims."
It's not that bad, the macros are just front end apps. Our data is housed in a real, enterprise class database.
We do have developers on our team. They write Excel macros :). I work in data integration, so it isn't as simple as building a more robust tool. We still need infrastructure support or our tool doesn't do anything.
Another confirmation here. At my previous job, I was they guy who built Access databases and wrote VBA code. While not ideal, it was a very small business (less than 10 employees) and it was fit for purpose.
When I got a new job at a company with almost 3,000 employees, I was like, "Finally, I'll be working somewhere that has proper IT resources." Ha! I soon find out that my department runs critical business infrastructure with Excel macros. And we have a proper IT department.
As everyone has already said, if IT resources are in short supply (or the wait is too long, or building projects with IT support is a PITA), then people will build systems with the tools they have at hand. And that's often MS Office.
I would say Mastodon already has. I've been spending a lot of time there over last few weeks and there's more content than I can consume. Breaking news stories are covered well, including live blogging, although a lot of that content is cross-posed from Xitter. Plenty of people to follow, including authors, photographers, journalists and scientists. An increasing number of media outlets have a presence there, as well.
Xitter still has an order of magnitude more users, but Mastodon is mostly Nazi-free (which is nice).
Came here to say the same thing. The tone of the debate is not going to improve with the bomb-throwing toddler onstage with the rest of the clown show.
It’s a cult. MAGAts need deprogramming, not negative ads.
And this particular group are not good guys, either.
I have Mount Char on my to read list, but Time War was a dnf for me. Just could not get into it.
What did you expect the fine people in his district to do, vote for the Democrat?

Spokane, Portland and Seattle #700 on the turntable at Union Pacific's Brooklyn Yard in Portland. When this photograph was taken in September 2006, both SP&S 700 and SP 4449 were housed in the Brooklyn roundhouse. Neither the roundhouse nor the turntable remain, but 700 and 4449 now reside in the publicly accessible Oregon Rail Heritage Center.

Another locomotive from Portland & Western's collection of first generation diesels, this SD9 still shows its unmistakable Southern Pacific heritage. Built in April 1955, this loco was celebrating its 51st birthday when this photo was shot in April 2006 at the St. Helens yard.
A sibling of the famous Boeing 707 airliner, the KC-135 was a regular sight at PDX until the Air National Guard tanker base was closed in 2006. This aircraft entered service in 1959.

At the time of this photo, Union Pacific 3985, a Challenger class 4-6-6-4, was the largest operating steam locomotive in existence. This locomotive was donated by Union Pacific to a museum and has been replaced in excursion service by an even larger 4-8-8-4 Big Boy locomotive.

The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engine fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Fast and high-flying for a bomber of its era, the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II.

I think Harris could have had a more nuanced answer than, "Fracking, fuck yeah!" But it's a damn shame that, to win the electoral college you have to be all drill, baby drill.
Although that's politics... "It's great to be here in Chicken Fark, Arkansas! I know, in the past, I have been accused by my opponent of being opposed to chicken farking. But I'm here today to tell you that, if elected, I promise to fark more chickens than any president in history!"
Still voting for Harris, obviously.
