  1. And you can add error handling right in the formula. Basically Microsoft fixed Vlookup known limitations with Xlookup. VLOOKUP still works though.
  2. PSA. ERCOT is warning that electrical reserves will be lower on Wednesday because of the temps will hit 90 in many parts of Texas. An unheard of heat spell for Texas. As of now, they’re not asking us to conserve electricity especially if you are paying north of 15 cents per kWh.
  3. the Trump voters in my circle of friends (50s, male, mainly white) have made comments about voting for Trump because of the economy. I push back asking them how they're not thriving under the Biden economy. I understand that many Americans are struggling but not homeowners with solid careers in upper mgmt. And Trump voters can't complain about federal taxes since we're operating under Trump's taxes not Biden.
  4. Compete bs if she's ultimately given a break about blatantly lying about meeting with world leaders especially such a unique meeting with Kim Jong Un. I could even forgive a book passage written by a ghost writer and she's too lazy to read her book. That's weak but at least honest. But presumably she spoke the words in the audio book. Either she thinks so little of the public that she openly spoke a lie and/or she read the words without having the ability to comprehend what she was saying.
  5. valid points. The lakes and rivers on the eastern side of Texas have the capability to bounce back much faster when droughts occur. Some of the western and southwestern might be unlikely to recover.
  6. Whether it's Trump or his lawyers potentially lying, but I don't think that would be perjury. Non lawyer opinion. But I could see it being contempt of court to lie to the judge about why you want a day away from court. And honesty, why in the world are we bending over backwards to allow Trump to see his son's graduation. This isn't rearranging a business meeting. It's a criminal court. However one thing that I would add for Trump's defense here is that he can do something in addition to attending Baron's graduation, including a MN fundraiser. Now if he ends up not attending the graduation, the judge should hammer him with a large contempt fine. And not a fine that would hurt most of his, but hurt someone of his supposed wealth.
  7. Not an expert but it's not difficult to identify a trend on this page. The second chart is interesting in that we're always a decent percent off statewide total capacity of the lakes so let's hope that many of the problems of the last decade are not the norm.
  8. I hope that McDonalds keeping their $10 refund was worth it. I don’t blame them but just as most stores are told not to stop thieves, I would think that they could be taught to give an agitated customer a refund, free refill, more fries, whatever. Even if the employees are not taught that, people should just realize to do basically do whatever is necessary to calm the situation.
  9. Yes, and from the AP clerk's testimony today, she made it sound like there were frequent Fedex packages going down to the White House with checks for Trump to sign. And even forgetting that he said that he wouldn't run his business, this tells me that he must have spent a sizable amount of time running the Trump Org from the WH. You can't tell me that he spent 30 seconds signing checks. I bet he was on the phone back with Eric/Don Jr. asking questions. There was always an mystery as to exactly what Trump was doing when his daily schedule has several hours per day of "executive time." The MFer was running the Trump Org.
  10. The Trump Org is so small that Trump, Don Jr. or Eric had to sign off on any payment greater than $10K? And he was still signing the checks during his Presidency? Talk about not trusting Eric or Don Jr. Not that I actually blame Trump for the last part.
  11. Good point. Of course what in the world could Eric have to do otherwise.
  12. If someone continually violates a judge's order and doesn't seem to care about fines, I don't see how you don't make them cool their heels in confinement for a certain point. Maybe you don't start with a weekend in Riker's but a couple of hours in a courtroom jail, or whatever option the judge has readily avaiable. As far as today's testimony, it sounds like they have Weisselberg ordering the Cohen payments of their accounting/AP team. Presumably Trump must have ok'ed it, if not ordered it from Weisselberg. Has he testified yet, or is he refusing. Weisselberg creates a conundrum for the prosecution. He's continually lies under oath but in the defense of Trump. I assume that he will have to be given immunity to compel his testimony, if they're calling him at all.
  13. A new car’s horn should have a written warning, “pressing the horn increases the chance you will die today”
  14. unfortunately we have to assume that any and everyone is armed in Texas. We all want to be the good guy to help diffuse a situation but you need to be careful. Also why is McDonalds arguing about a refund. I could understand they don't want a scenario where someone eats 99% of their meal and asks for their money back ala Fast Times, but is any incident worth the $10?
