God, they are sooo unfitting.

I hear you.

I don't know how new Excel performes and I thought it's the same as ten years ago - the version I'm trapped in. With people who obsessively try to drive it to the edge where it's not responsive on average office PCs.

But if it works well with various big spreadsheets now, it's a wonder, with how many new people start to tackle programming with Python. I obiviosly won't write a script faster than normal operational speeds of software, it's just some tables ended up that big and broken I could only open them like that. But that, I guess, is exclusion?

It's just the issue of people using a microscope as a hammer when they need to break nuts.

But why? Excel is a shit way to work with big amounts of data due to it's own format's complexity and bloated software. It's welcome to implement python, but that's not what holds it down. Opening a big csv would crash it on the same machine that loads it with a python IDE in seconds. It's not made for this. It's like, nice, but the volume of information you need to make it matter would break Excel in halves.

I was overwhelmed by changes in my life and bottled it up until I freaked out at my loved ones. Years have passed, and I'm still pissed at myself for that childishness. Healthy ways to blow off steam are a must.

One ukrainian military psychologist and youtuber I've watched, Філософ Рептилоїд, frequently said how him bringing a laptop with games to a barrack set up a better overall atmosphere in a combat unit. Gaming is intense and occupying enough activity to distract one from fatigue of the battlefield for a couple of hours. Guess, even wargames work.

Haven't checked on him, but I guess now I have a reason to. Thank you.

His face in this movie has an uncanny resemblance of a mask from V for Vendetta for me. It does help his role for sure.

No argument there, friend. Watching them back-to-back on a movie night is a wonder. Reiteration of a fence-jumping gag, connecting these two movies, is so sweet of a detail.

Of Hot Fuzz, I loved the actor who played the supermarket's boss. His delivery of another chilling comment... Gosh, I can't see how it'd work without him for he kills it. Some people I showed it for the first time only got into it because of him setting the tone and promising some big reveal.

And the starting sequence, as well, is a classic. I've seen people having it in their 101 on filmmaking, and it's not wrong.

I could take sterilized roaches. Their power in that their population grows like hell. But 1000 you can kill off and that's settled? Okay, deal. Guess, the first hunt would take a half of them for good.

A person? You obviously can't kill them in most jurisdictions unless you are a LEO. But I'd look forward to reach out and cooperate with them in some way. Idk them and maybe they have cool things to talk about or learn from them. Imagine them blasting an ukulele and being open to teach you. Or just being a good friend material.

I'd probably take both and do bonding with a cellar person over killing bugs.

Kinda shows who is the real boss there.

Is it chatgpt or a stroke?

Snatch is outstanding. The scene with a replica gun vs deagle, the robbery by noob thugs... I laugh even at my memories of them.

But I'll take Shawn of the Dead. Cool direction and awesome cast making a great apocalyptic comedy movie. It's humor may be too dry for some, but if you are into this kind of jokes (is it brittish humor?), it'd blow you away. Watching it with my buddy back then made some of it's gags into our convos.
