@Frank clearly you should create a large full screen window that plays an animation of jumping bunnies while your macro exits reading mode, unprotects the thing and re-enters reading mode

@Unionhawk I always felt that sentence was off. I mean, it implies that no one else thinks in absolutes, only Sith.

@Yuuki That's exactly what it's supposed to mean

It was in a Star Wars film directed by Lucas, what do you want

@MadMAxJr Well, YouTube movies basically are Google Play.

I could watch any movie in my Google Play collection on YouTube instead.

@JasonBerkan it is just an extension of his mod abuse on the bridge

It's not empty. It specifically does nothing and tells you about it. Like any self-important code.

It's a date field to begin with so isnullorempty should be good enough

MBraedley

And electricity costs are higher here.

Frank

@MBraedley Hmm. Even here, in the depths of winter, I'm still only paying ~$250/month for heating and electricity.

MBraedley

@Yuuki I would like to be warm for the rest of my life, but I would also like for my life to last more than a few minutes.

@Frank This is for 2 months.

Frank

@MBraedley So for about $350/month for heating. I'm not paying much less than you.

MBraedley

10:39 PM

And once I start using my stove in earnest, my costs should go down a bit.

And I think I need to go around the house and turn some of my manual thermostats down, since only about $100/month is from the automated ones. Combined with my baseline of about $100/month (plus some extra for more lighting in the winter), I'm still spending too much to heat spaces I'm not usually in.
