Yes, but struggling with Excel bugs from the 1990's is... sad.

@dexter look, requests have only been with r&d team for 25 years…..let’s not be unrealistic 🤷‍♀️

@dexter @dropbear @Kclemson Please, most of those bugs are from the 1980s, we FIXED the new ones that came up.
Show threadAch so... 🇺🇦Mar 26, 2023

@dexter Actually Excel is struggling with a bug from 1900. That year didn't have a 29 Feb but Excel thinks it did. Since it has a built-in continuous day count that can never be debugged or all dates from 1 Mar 1900 will jump back by one. So: Julian calendar forever 🤷‍♀️

That's right up there with it doing the excellent job of expanding a list of "JAN, FEB, MAR, APR…", into "January, February, Maruary, Apruary…"

@Kclemson Saw someone share this a week ago (in French).

Optimist: The glass is 1/2 full.
Pessimist: The glass is 1/2 empty.
Excel: The glass is January 2.

@Kclemson what I wanted starting from upper right going clockwise.

Probably wanted a date.
Definitely wanted a date.
In no way wanted a date.

@Kclemson Here's the real question - knowing that some figs are created with the enzymes from broken down dead wasps, are figs vegetarian?
Show threadGaryMar 25, 2023
@JenMsft @Kclemson And suddenly there is a great sigh of relief that I don't recall ever eating a fig.
Show threadTashasEvMar 25, 2023
@JenMsft @Kclemson i mean, don’t all plants need broken down dead matter in some form

@JenMsft @Kclemson it’s not exploitation or cruelty (indeed, it’s symbiotic), so I’d expect most vegans would consider it vegan.

@da5is @JenMsft mastodon: come for the memes about excel, stay for the insights about fig+wasp symbiosis

@Kclemson @JenMsft Nearly completely unrelated; every time I’ve eaten a fig, I wish it would have been a date.

@da5is When I ate a date I thought 'Hmm I hate these as much as I hate figs'
