Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Thats easy.
Congratulations, you just used THE best program on your pc to finish another task.
Reasons you tell the it department you need the best cpu available and more ram than their servers: complex simulation software and autocad
Actual reason you need it: thousands of calculation cells in a single spreadsheet that references other spreadsheets
I manage to crash my work computer more often with my excel bullshit than with GIS or CAD.
Lies.
It’s so we can load our model into x plane or doom or something. You know. To check the real world physics.
It’s either that or we build a scale model and blow it up…
Do this but with VBA/macro so you can automate it next time.
As someone who will spend 10 hours figuring out how to automate a daily task that takes 8 minutes, I feel attacked!
A boring routine, even if it's short, is a distraction from stuff that require more focus. Also it's a source of human errors.
At least that's how I rationalize it ~~because, really, it's just more fun to work on automating stuff~~.
