Microsoft does a lot of dumb stuff but Power Automate is gonna get me another promotion this year.
Already killed a monthly reporting process that takes 12 hrs down.
There are probably better tools for the stuff I’m doing but I don’t have to go through IT to make power automate work 🤷♂️

I was having some issues getting some stuff working on an SSRS report and Gemini was actually really helpful
But I can’t rate the degree LLMs have gotten better for this kind of troubleshooting I can’t google anything anymore since the web is so filled with broken links and ai slop sites.

the X5 is a car for the suburbs. if you’re concerned about terrorists or whatever as the head of the FBI, it’s a dumb swap when you had a body-on-frame Suburban.

This weekend, I joined the Somali community in Willmar for lunch at the Somali Star restaurant.
Minnesotans are going to show up for our neighbors. That's who we are.

“It's one thing to look a gift horse in the mouth; it's another to steal the incisors and molars when you think no one is looking.”
fun mixed metaphor
If you are given a horse, it’s *your* horse, you *can* take the teeth. It’s not stealing.

/5 Presumably Lowry penned his screed before Trump’s tantrum today, but the parallels in thinking are shocking. Donald Trump is Rich Lowry stripped of pseudo-respectable elite-Right veneer: a gutter bigot spewing verminous hate.

re: that crappy essay
I spent my first two years of college at a small evangelical school. Using the bible as a source for non-bible classes was a quick way to get dinged. Even theology discouraged without other sources it since it’s a hard text and most people misread it.

I love redefining a word to be only bad valued and feel superior to people who identify with the word without a value judgement. Many cases.
Tourists are an interesting group in that they consistently deny what we all know they are. I can’t think of anything that screams tourist more than reducing each experience down to charm bracelet size and wearing it around. If tourism is your thing, just embrace it!
