the human *ears. we need both ears working together to determine the source of a sound.

teamwork makes the dream work, people.

that man, he had a plan, for the canal…

crap i messed that up.

Calc crashes all the bloody time. want to drag a worksheet tab? crash. want to drag a field to a pivot table column? crash. want to copy a bit of a formula? crash. want to exhale? crash.

plus it has no support for tables, xlookup, or power query. it’s like an unstable version of excel from 1997.

when it comes to spreadsheets, excel is the best in twrms of stability and features and google sheets is next. calc is a distant third.

whatever they have to replace word, too, pales in comparison because it’s so much more finicky to manage styles and formatting. but it’s apple’s Pages that’s surprisingly the best–most festure-packed-- word processing application.

their powerpoint replacement is functional but doesn’t contain all the features of ms powerpoint.

because people can’t misuse laws for pet euthanasia in order to get an early inheritance, or to get their toe in before a will changes.

in many scenarios, euthanasia does make sense but there is ample opportunity for greedy people to misuse such laws. it would be hazardous to enact such a law unless adequate protection is provided.

is this not just affirming the premise of the sixth book? that’s the whole reason why Potter found the Prince’s spells so fascinating. school subjects are not meant to entertain. they are meant to teach.

also, as book five attests–as well as does the subject of history of magic–some syllabi and some subjects were way more boring than others.

my main gripe would be that nobody taught english or any other form of formal communication at hogwarts. i dunno how they all just didn’t end up speaking like Hagrid.

what are the odds…
