Honestly, since the introduction of ‘tables’, pivot tables, Power Pivot and Power Query, Excel is way more viable to be used as a database. Tables in particular mean that formulas fill down and the range automically resizes when records are added.

Aren’t there ones where the entire episode is a western or something that happens in the holodeck because the writers wanted to try out some other genres?

Is this that much weirder than the widespread British practice of putting washing machines in kitchens?

Speaking for myself, but I suspect this applies to a lot of people, the factors that are enabling me to run Linux as my personal computer are:

1. The browser experience is now on par with other operating systems. For many people, almost everything they do on their computer is through the browser so this is important.
2. Games now work. Every game I’ve wanted to play has worked on Linux.
3. If I want to do word processing or spreadsheeting and I absolutely need the formatting to be correct or want to use the more advanced aspects of Excel, I now have a work device to do those things. This wasn’t the case a few years ago, when most people worked on a company desktop machine at work.

Putting that together and subtracting all the annoyances of Windows - nagging notifications, updates that take forever, Windows trying to make my default browser Edge, the greater threat of viruses - why wouldn’t I be on Linux? Why wouldn’t a lot of people be on Linux?

When you’re already losing interest in gaming, there’s nothing worse than having to sit through long updates because you haven’t turned on your machine for a while.

Is a meme even something you make yourself and post for the first time. Can it only become a meme once it gets reposted by someone else?

If I’ve learnt anything from numerous askreddit posts on the question ‘what is the best feeling ever?’, it’s that the human condition is rather tragic. The best pleasure is basically the relief of discomfort or pain - like taking your bra off at the end of the day or like this one walking into an air conditioned room.

And now potentially 100s of people will have the thought of poo in their heads. You did that. That’s the power of the internet.

People underestimate how important being able to google answers on the internet has been for the take-up of linux and many other things. Most of us would be lost without Google.

As far as I am aware, the foot in football originally referred to the fact that it was a game played on foot rather than on horse back (as opposed to polo for example).

I’m sure the EU has established it as an official standard.

What do you expect from an app named after the notoriously grim British movie about a nuclear holocaust.

Reddit used to always go on about how I stacked the dishwasher. Then there were the API changes. I’m like, why do you need to control everything, reddit? Just chill the fuck out.
