  • I had a horror/comedy dream last night. It was pretty funny in hindsigt, so here it goes:

    I am in my office at work, and I get a really important call regarding a case I’ve been working on (in real life) for a while. So I already know exactly what I want to say, but to my surprise my throat is so sore that I can hardly speak.

    Every time I open my mouth I just either yell loudly or whistle silently. I only manage to say a few syllables in each breath.

    This goes on for quite some time in which I barely manage to explain my unfortunate situation and that it’s important that they hear me out. The call repeatedly gets cut off and starts over, forcing me to go through the whole thing several times much to my frustration, before I realize that I’ve actually just been snoring in my sleep and wake up.

    The company tax is slightly lower. The previous poster stated something about capitalism. The best way to curb hording of capital is by the companies paying taxes.

    Ordinary working people probably pay a higher tax in Sweden than in USA, but that’s a different discussion.



  • Not everyone has Excel or even a monitor.

    I pdf everything I send by mail because I know they’re going to watch it on a phone or tablet just as if they got a printed paper delivered by snail mail.

    This way I can set the print area and focus on what I want them to see. It also stops them from overwriting my formulas and sending it back for me to fix. There’s nothing worse than working on somebody else’s spreadsheet. Just as much as I dislike receiving Excel sheets, I also don’t want to put anyone else in that situation.




  • I think of it as finished software. It’s the MS Paint or Notepad for sound. No development necessary.

    The only reason I’ve used it is because Adobe bought CoolEdit and started “developing” it, a.k.a.: Turned it into paid bloatware and changed the name to Audition. So, I found Audacity which is free, small, to the point and quick to use.

    If you do need more features you’d probably be better off switching to something else in the first place.










  • How do you suggest “un-normalizing” it?

    It’s a natural urge. Trying to ban it by law or religion is about as realistic as banning people from breathing out of the mouth instead of the nose.

    Trying to make it culturally unacceptable also won’t work. It’s already culturally unacceptable to pick your nose and eat it, but some people still do that too whenever they think nobody is watching.

    You’ll find that countries that have either banned it or made it unacceptable have much higher crime rates including rape.

    That’s how illegalization generally works. It only creates more illegal situations, because it surely doesn’t stop people from doing it.
