hi I never talk here but that just... sounds cool and good. at the same time, if you ever want to post sketches that are completely non-engagement-oriented I've always thought that art is cool to see too. what kind of art would you rather be doing?

do you get paid hourly? you could always maliciously comply and download 300 files and still have xl merging code to show for it

oh damn I didn't process manually-downloaded until now, Jesus. good luck to you 💀 AHK or whoever's feeling bored enough to download all that

godspeed 🫡 may none of us ever have to touch vba again

yeah life-changer here, I remember steam reviews complaining it was too linear for a metroidvania but to me that at worst makes it an incredibly compelling 2D action platformer, really beautiful story and world I'll never really forget

I learned it entirely secondhand through a batshit insane repository I inherited and desperate stack overflow usage, good luck out there. this site is pretty and, uh, sometimes helpful? analystcave.com/merge-excel-... this looks like at least a good baseline for your task

them!! it's them they're making me do it!! *pointing in mirror*

I've had to do incredibly similar work to this and I'm sorry but I think it's the VBA trenches for you unless you've got VSTO/C# lying around. IMO the VBA approach won't be too bad once you've got the basics

the above reporting also lays out how, beyond just the 7 months timeline, there's also a lot of clear and observable deregulation happening to meet those timelines, so whether the timeline *implies* cutting corners is admittedly irrelevant anyways. the deregulation's gonna make this nuclear unsafe.

why would you argue for something you haven't even attempted to read into, stop making a fool out of the both of us. if you want 2025 dates you can request a data pull from IAEA yourself, otherwise I don't want to more speculation from you about how *maybe* they'll somehow do it in 7 months

inis.iaea.org/records/bgsm... why did you even make me look this up. most up to date record I can find at a glance is this data from 2011 on various countries. Japan can do it in around 60 months, faster than other countries. I don't think there's a world where 7 months is realistic
Construction time of PWRs
The cost of electricity generated by nuclear power is greatly affected by the capital cost, which is dependent on the construction time of the plant. This work analyses the construction time of PWRs in several countries with different market structure and licensing experience. Countries which succeeded to establish a more collaborative environment among utilities, constructors, regulators, and energy planners through effective partnerships were able to build PWRs in shorter times. The construction time in Germany, France and Russia was around 80 months and in Japan, about 60 months. The envelope of 95% of the cases includes a range between 50 and 250 months of construction time. The evaluations show that construction time of PWRs has been longer for countries that did not hold the technology to build their own reactors, and depended on contracts with foreign suppliers. The nominal power of the reactors was considered a measure of plant size, technology complexity and standardization. Countries with standardized reactor designs (France, Japan and Russia) were able to build plants in shorter times. (author)

sure, but even experienced contractors can't fulfill crazy timelines touted by the president who's trying to appease AI industry power demands, not without cutting corners. I want nuclear too but the context makes this sound like disaster is inevitable, unless 7 months is a typical timeline?

it would be bizarre if this push under trump respected workers, didn't apply crunch, and respected safety regulations *now* after everything else we've seen?

like, you guys are doing fox news's work for them with headlines like these. this is part of why it's hard to trust your publication man
