1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

A friend of mine was doing a continuuing education class on financial stuff for hotel management at a university (cornell maybe?), and they were saying they were going to stop teaching excel and move to Matlab, mostly due to ease of auditing. I have mixed feelings on that, matlab is a whole other ball of wax.

 

Matlab isn't bad but I don't think they have equal market share and feature sets. Fact is the world works on Excel and Matlab is for heavier scientific functions.

 

Exactly, and a completely different mindset regarding how it operates. Not that the Matlab mindset is bad, its just that its a totally different process what with reading files in, processing them and then spitting out results. With Excel all the data and the logic is in the same file which is both super convenient and the source of many problems.

I guess we'll see where the world goes.

 

Too many people make life too hard and keep everything in one sheet within their excel spreadsheet doc. If they utilized sheets for lookups and references it wouldn't be such a cluster.

 

Yeah organization is important. Named variables are super helpful too, instead of just cell locations.

I was trying to follow the logic on an excel sheet someone had stuffed into our version control system a couple weeks ago. They put all the values I needed on a second sheet, hid the columns, and then protected it with a password. Very frustrating until I found the password in the comments on the version control system comments page.

 

maybe some nice 295/70R17s

 

I love that they just keep driving out of frame

I'm thinking 315/70/17 next. Will be a while tho, current tires have tons of tread still.

 

my buddy just put Toyo AT3s in that size on his cummins this week. Apparently they are substantially better than Duratracs he had before

 

Yeah, I love the AT3. I might try the RT next tho.

 

The tire shortages in certain sizes/brands is mind blowing.

The Toyo's look good though and they had great traction last I saw them in action.

 

Start of my 3 day weekend, took today off to take my wife to the airport and watch the kiddo. So it's just me and a toddler until Sunday night.

 

I have the RTs on the Tacoma. They were surprisingly killer in deep, wet snow. They suck in the rain. They are loud on the highway.

No wheeling experience, unfortunately

 

Bring her over, Steph would love to watch her

 

Really though, that tire shit is mind blowing.

Maybe I'll just run the Coopers down and go with Toyo's next go around.

 

Shortage of tires, gasoline, computer chips, PlayStation 5s, what's next

Sanity.



Oh wait.
