    DST Forever...?

    Sounds like your preference is for permanent DST, even though you're not in the US. And do people really still leave their home for work?

    DST Forever...?

    The US Senate approved a bill Tuesday that would make daylight saving time permanent throughout the country. What do folks here think of this move? Myself, I am very opposed to the idea of permanent DST. I dislike DST to begin with, but it's currently tolerable* because it's in the summer when...

    Open DB via batch file

    No. It won't. You can even try it to be sure.

    Open DB via batch file

    I'm going to post a different approach... Instead of requiring VBA to hide your stuff, set it up to require VBA to continue into the DB. What you do is create a modal popup form that says you must enable scripts/content or whatever and set that as the form to load on startup in the settings...

    Determining Chords vs Lyrics

    Wow... this got a lot of input. :) Thank you all for the input. My current setup is already using a dictionary with the chords as keys and an array for the item (so if you are moving a G up two semitones, you will find the new chord with dctKeyList("G")(2): 'set up dictionary Set...

    Determining Chords vs Lyrics

    I'd go this route but it will get confused by things like the word A and chord A.

    Determining Chords vs Lyrics

    I'm working on a script that will clean up and transpose chord/lyric sheets. Here's a couple examples of what I mean - the chords are the letters atop the lyrics. G All of my love all of my kissing You don't know what you've been a missing C G Oh boy when...

    The Covid cure has arrived!

    Legitimate question: what counts as a "comorbidity" and how does one go about determining the number of them one has?

    Computer Cleaning Day!!!!

    Certainly you can get that sufficiently clean without disassembling it like that(?) At the very least, I've never done such a thing except to perform an actual repair - seems too risky to pull all that off when a good can of air and some patience can get things good enough. But the only tower...

    Estimating the age of the Universe, and getting it all wrong

    The Universe not having an end doesn't preclude it from having had a beginning and, thus, a current age. You are correct to state that using your approach to get the age of a universe with an infinite lifespan would prevent getting its age since we can't get a midway point and so could never...

    Estimating the age of the Universe, and getting it all wrong

    I don't know that the answer is obvious at all. Our discussion should show that a question like that can have different answers depending on the aim. So a sensible response might be "what man?". That then leaves the clarification of an average man or most men (among other possibilities)...

    Estimating the age of the Universe, and getting it all wrong

    Perhaps it is that I don't understand the purpose of trying to guess a number that "minimises ... errors" instead of trying to guess the number most likely to be correct. However, if you want to average closer to the right answer (even if it means less-often getting the right answer), then...

    Estimating the age of the Universe, and getting it all wrong

    Your question is basically "which line looks like it's closest to the middle?", but if the aim is to figure out which guess is more likely to be correct, finding the middle doesn't help - what we want is the mode. A better analogy: Suppose a barn wall covered in square tiles of different...

    Estimating the age of the Universe, and getting it all wrong

    Not quite. For an issue like that, the average age is not really relevant; what you want instead is the most common age. For the UK, that age is 55. You are more likely to be accurate guessing 55 as an age than you are guessing any other age.

    Change Image Based on Selection Box

    Also, using the file path approach you wouldn't need to distribute the images - just put them in a subfolder where your BE is stored. Everyone would be using the same images.
