Everything would be so much easier if everything just went happy path every single time, but NOOOOOOOO I have to live in Exceptionlandia

Trying to logic this data is like a game of chutes and ladders. I make serious headway and then ZOOM some rando situation pops up that makes my previous logic unusable and I'm not quite back where I started, but definitely further from the finish line.

My brain is constantly under the impression that I do not like yogurt, but then I eat it and it's like "OMG this is the best thing ever, why have we waited so long since the last time we had this???"

IDK, brain, because you're a toddler?

Asbestos is a great analogy because like asbestos, AI aka machine learning and LLMs are good for very specific use cases, but when you put it into everything hither and yon you end up with massive problems.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

I redid everything this morning (better than before, even) and I HAVE SAVED MY WORK

What do we think the odds are that Past Duck hit save on all that Power BI work she did before she logged off last Friday?

“Hurtful to who? Dictators?”

Yeah no hurtful to the average person who now has that bumping around in their head with the hundreds of fatphobic elements we steep in thanks to our shitty culture. Whether or not you are (currently!) fat, that degrades your thinking.

Anna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.social · 2d

Sigh it’s time for our weekly remonstrance:

FATNESS ISN’T IMMORAL YOU FUCKING FUCKS

ICE, Trump, et al are not evil because they’re fat. They’re evil because they hurt people.

All you’re doing is reinforcing hurtful stereotypes and I do unfollow and block when I see it.

Okay, how the shit is data showing up in Power BI that isn't showing in the source in SQL? This is NOT helping my eyelid twitch...

Me: Okay, PowerBI, I want you to return the DATE that matches this criteria
PBI: You got it, boss. One DateTime with the time automatically filled in as 12:00:00 🫡
