@KNPBI yes.

@threddyrex @zkat

My wife and I both work at MSFT. Our first kid is coming in May, our house is uninhabitable b/c we are half way through a major remodel. It was a very stressful week.

@shiprekt ooo. That's a good idea. I don't know how Salesforce handles capitalization.
Sigh. Some days you just gotta love #powerquery. Today is not one of those days.
@threddyrex nice. Maybe that'll become a tradition for us soon since...and I haven't tooted about this yet but....
We're expecting our first kid in May!
@threddyrex I've been a pnb subscriber for about 6 years. Never seen the nutcracker. I've seen everything else though.😁

Gonna write this up in longer form, but folks complaining that the $45bn Ukraine costs are high miss two key points:

1. The direct costs in (US) military aid are surprisingly small; in the order of $19bn this year, and $10.8bn committed (so far) for next year

2. The indirect economic costs of the Russian war to the US economy (i.e. to the private sector not via the government) are in the order of $600-700bn per year. To pick a random company, it's nearly $6-10bn in costs to Apple *alone*.

Great mountains today!
