  • Reading this made me wonder how metallic lithium is stored and, guess what, it’s stored in oil. So, which label do you use for a container holding lithium and oil? I’m guessing you need two, one for the lithium and one for the oil. And here we are.

    No, I don’t think this building is filled with lithium and covered in oil, but I suspect there is more than one container containing metallic lithium covered in oil.







  • I had someone at work ask me if I was an expert at Excel. I’ve written macros in VBA and made formulas that would have been easier as a macro so I could save them as xlsx instead of xlsm. I said yes, with some hesitation. She asked me if I could help her with a problem and I said sure. The problem was a bunch of hidden cells. At least it wasn’t a bunch of data she’d deleted and wanted me to get back for her.

    The amazing part was how hard it was to show the cells in the latest version of Excel.




  • Just checked it on F-droid. Last updated 13 months ago. This is a fork of another project whose creator walked back the FOSS stance of his projects. Forks were immediately produced, but no real work has been done. I’m using two of these apps, and have no real hope that they will be maintained in any meaningful way.

    I’d explore these with caution, unless you’re looking for near-abandoned projects to adopt, in which case these may be worth your time to look into. What is there looks good, but without active maintenance it’s an encroaching storm of security risks.









  • To tack on this. She definitely needs therapy, classic trauma-based coping mechanisms, and the depression may be because of that or exacerbating that. I’d also say, due to natural biases, that we may not have as much negative info on him, but that’s okay.

    I think he’s almost done and she’s either almost done or done. Probably the best option is to get out sooner with a little less drama and take some lessons from this. The alternative is to keep trying to fix it until all feeling is gone, then break up with a nicely burned bridge in the background.
