Seriously. I’m embarrassed about most of my spreadsheets. They end up more as notepads than anything…

Dexpot was a virtual desktop fir Windows that appears to be abandoned
- Comment on Why would I want to use the multi-desktop functionality in Windows 11? 1 year ago:
I did something similar, but was annoyed by all the jumping around when opening excel or word or PDFs… Plus even just having a group of emails and an explorer window open on a couple desktops really starts to eat ram it seems. Forget about solid works in that situation.
If they allowed you to save desktops and fixed the jumping issues it might be useful.
Depot was so much better.
- Comment on Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time? 1 year ago:
Insurance company are subject to regulations. They are lots of different regulations for different types of insurance and different states. The goals are to ensure that they are able to pay out when things go wrong, and to ensure a fair consumer practice. Generally all of the premiums they collect are supposed to be payed out and a large percent of the money is supposed to be held in reserve. They are supposed to be making money on investing the premiums.
It’s not about them winning the bet that they won’t have to pay. If they won that bet too much, it would be reflected in too high premiums, and competitors would just under cut them.
