More lies, I didn't say any of that... why are you fake quoting?

Here's Golda's famous quote again, study it, maybe you'll change:

“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” ― Golda Meir,

This isn't opening the csv file directly, it's importing it into an existing (though possibly not yet saved) workbook. I can attest that it works correctly though it is kind of annoying if you don't want to do more than just some simple manipulation.

Also I believe excel for mac either doesn't have this feature or it's not as feature rich as the windows counterpart.

I just think angering the people who are supposed to be caring for me is a great way to receive subpar care, I don't care how moral and "above it all" healthcare workers are supposed to be, at the end of the day they're human and if you tell them you don't value their hard work, they may just put in a little less effort than you'd like. (just like you might do the same for a boss who belittles you and refuses to give the raise you feel deserve).

As an example, in many countries where they have socialized healthcare, nurses and doctors do often go on strike, which has always resulted in worse care during those times...

but policing is returning to precovid levels compared to 2020-2021, and it appears murder is falling at a similar rate.. where do you get your information from?

Just to put it more succinctly: you’re in favor of angering all healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, etc) to make healthcare better.

I don’t know if the outcome you want is the outcome you’re gonna get with that strategy. Might want to consider the humans actually affected and how they might react instead of treating everyone as some faceless cabal of evildoers bent on pulling money out of your pocket.

> What is your actual counterposition here?

That yelling fire in a theater is dangerous and that is quite literally what the NYT and NPR did.

The falsehoods they repeated caused immediate panic and rioting in many Muslim communities and countries, they’ve burned down synagogues and Israeli embassies over a false story.

there are a few projects that do this, but it doesn't really matter... not enough people use any single one and most new videos will never really show accurate info

There were stories that at Uber events they had a big screen and shared that info publicly of various celebrities.

my iphone 6s and 12 pro beg to differ. both saw serious drops in battery in pretty normal 10-15F chicago winters while I was outdoor ice skating or even just going for a long walk with the phone in my pocket.

In the timestamped video link shared downthread, the speaker does seem to strongly imply that gWorkspace doesn’t manage the infra, when he finishes explaining the migration he declares (around 55:18)“[…]we can focus on the business of gmail and spanner can choose to improve and deliver performance gains automagically[sic]” which would imply, to me at least, that it’s on GCP.

Somehow I thought you were at Amazon/AWS because of how much you push it in your book. Cool to see you’re at GCP.

part of the issue is that the mullahs get to decide who goes on the ballet. it's not really a free election when the options are fixed beforehand.

Not quite, the GP is pointing out that it's become in vogue as of late to express hate for the USA among leftist circles, those people will post the raised fist or w/e appropriate color to the SM profiles and do little else, but they all do express admiration for 44.

Orion on iOS has addr bar on the bottom, also supports rich set of gestures for tab navigation, if you're looking for an alternative to safari on iOS I'd take a look at that. They also offer a mac option, no MS option yet.
