    cuz that spell uses a lot of glitter Well there's your problem, right there. The components for Animate Dead are a drop of blood, a scrap of flesh or a pinch of bone dust. Not glitter. They're trying to use Disney Dollars at Caesar's Palace.

    @George-K said in Discount: San Francisco’s doom loop just got worse Another city with maybe a worst problem https://www.businessinsider.com/st-louis-downtown-doom-loop-is-worse-than-san-francisco-2024-4?op=1 A vacant office building in downtown St. Louis just sold for $3.6 million — a nearly 98% discount from its 2006 sales price, signaling a concerning course for the Midwestern city's downtown area. The former One AT&T Center, which at 44 stories is the third-tallest building in St. Louis, sold for $205 million in 2006 and recently sold for $3.6 million to the Goldman Group, a real-estate investment firm, according to CoStar News. The steep drop in the tower's value is just one sign that St. Louis' central business district is struggling, reports say. The challenges facing it and other Midwestern hubs are perhaps graver than bigger downtowns that have been more widely depicted as abandoned or dying, like San Francisco's, according to economics and public-policy experts.

    Saw a sign for barnacle parking enforcement today in Galveston. We paid our 16 bucks to avoid it.

    @George-K said in Bill Maher: What we can learn from Canada, and Sweden, and others: But, here's the question, has he moved to the right, or has the left totally abandoned him. Like @Mik and the Republiccan party, not a surprise to see the other side do the same thing.

    @George-K said in The Rush Effect: @Doctor-Phibes said in The Rush Effect: And denying it was a health threat. Never really listened to him for more than about 30 minutes on about half a dozen occasions. Did he really do that? Geez. He also said that coronovirus was the common cold, so, you know, not great with that stuff.

    What’s the old saw? Never ascribe to conspiracy what can be more easily explained as stupidity? Insanity fits too.

    @Klaus said in Calling any Excel guru: @Horace said in Calling any Excel guru: If I had to do it in general, I'd output a CSV and write a quick tool to create a new CSV as described. So I can't help That's what I would also do. Dang, that’s also what I would do. But that’s just a function of whether one is more fluent with Excel or with another scripting/programming language. :man-shrugging:

    I have seen maneuvers pretty close to that, more than once. Go out to your local muni airport on a nice Saturday morning, bring the camera.
