Science & Engineering Shit

Yeah the people actually asking that question fall into the “bless your heart” category.

I liked the shot of the the planets fitting between the earth and the moon.

Du-uh! They have dry magnets.

Which is remarkable considering every idiot knows water runs downhill and Australia is at the bottom.

Too good not to share.

Could’ve put this in any number of threads, but VR isn’t exclusive to the Apple Vision Pro, so I’ll put it here.

This would be awesome for Formula 1, but just imagine watching any sport where you could have a full 3D view of the field! It might take a while until they can implement realistic player animations, but being able to see formations and strategies and the big picture of plays unfolding in real time would be fascinating.

This is mesmerizing.

I figured there could never be a winner, but how that happened blew my mind.

Apple’s Vision Pro is already obsolete. They can project stuff directly onto your eyeballs now.

I’m not kidding.

I may have to start completely locking down my spreadsheets before I let them out into the wild. I’m bored with getting them sent back because the “don’t work”, only to find that they’ve been broken by random numbers and formula “corrections” being applied with the skill and dexterity of a toddler on crack.

Me: Here’s the spreadsheet I made. It’s set up so you can use the factor options to adjust the results and the formulae will do the rest.

Them:

Them: It doesn’t work.

I hate Excel but have to use it a lot, mainly for sorting/collating etc not for any of its fancy features. And nowadays I’m more apt to dump data into Access and run sql queries instead.
But THIS error makes me have fits like a maga would if he saw Taylor Swift kneel for the national anthem:

I’ve not used Access hardly at all, so I have no clue as to when it would benefit me over Excel.

At home, I much prefer using Mac Numbers to Excel (or Google Docs). First, it’s free. But it has one feature that I am gobsmacked is still missing from Excel decades later: multiple tables per sheet.

Each sheet in Numbers is a blank workspace (think PowerPoint) onto which you can add as many individual tables as you like, each with their style and shape. It makes formatting so much easier, because you’re not trying to make everything have to fit into the same set of column widths or be forced to expand the sheet sideways if that’s not possible or even onto another tab.

I know Excel is better for true power users (scientists etc.), but for 99% of us, Numbers will do the job and is so much easier to format to make it look good, which is better for others to understand.

Another bad week for submarines. Thankfully this one was unmanned.

Another Submersible Has Gone Missing in the Ocean, This Time Near Antarctica (yahoo.com)

Are they being captured and taken to the submarine dock in a super-villain’s lair somewhere?
