This surge lasted about 70 days, so that's 57 apprehensions a day, not counting people kidnapped and then released and not counting street executions.

Around 2000 agents were deployed. That's an average of 35 agents for one apprehension, per day.

Did you see the thing about the betting market for Jesus returning that suddenly spiked to around 5% and was baffling people until they found a secondary market betting on whether or not THAT market would reach 5%?

I've never used a pivot table before. Had I struggled through it, I'd have either wound up giving up and just paying Expensify, or I'd have been forced to learn a new skill.

Instead, I outsourced it. It was the right call. But it feels totally unsatisfying.

My wife has used Expensify to manage her business's books for years. We only use a small subset of functionality, but we need it, especially at tax time.

They started charging. I used ChatGPT to tell me how to replicate everything we need in a Google Sheet with a Pivot Table. Took 20 minutes.
