"It's a simple task," I thought, "don't overthink it, just use a spreadsheet."
I can't work out how to do this: I have two series of height measurements of my kids, along with their ages when the measurements were taken.
How do I plot them both on the same scatter graph, so I can see which kid was taller at any age?
I thought that if I added a column saying which kid each measurement was from, I'd be able to use it to set the marker colour or style, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
Please don't suggest any other tools for this: I'm more than capable of doing it outside a spreadsheet; I just want to know if it's possible in Google Sheets.
I’m looking to compile a big pile of IRL books for summer beach reading.
Big fan of scifi, specfic, murder mysteries. Strong female characters = bonus points. Can’t deal with darkness. Nothing high brow or tedious. Nonfiction lover but that list is already bursting at the seams.
I also love long series - 3 body problem, wheel of time, foundation … those waves all have good memories attached.
If that brings anything to mind, please send the rec!!
@NicoleCRust +1 for the Murderbot Diaries series. Velocity Weapon by Megan O'Keefe is a great sci fi twist on a 'locked room mystery' premise and has a couple of sequels if you like it.
Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a great short read (standalone but he has some great sci fi series too, namely the 'Children of...' trilogy and The Final Architecture series).
I'm finding it a big psychological adjustment shifting to training for mountain #running from regular #TrailRunning. My weekly distances are way down, but elevation and intensity is up.
E.g. my "long" run yesterday was 8k, with 750m elevation gain. I need to stop thinking in terms of total distance and more in terms of quality training time. Specificity over distance.
So 45mins on a treadmill at 15% incline going 3km or so is more specific to the target event than a 10km tempo run in the same time. I know this "intellectually", I just need to shake the nagging feeling I need to do more (that way lies overtraining...)
It's also ironic that I made this shift because I love spending time in the #mountains, and the main change so far is spending less time on trails and more in the gym. Getting up to Wales again in a couple of weeks though...
I was going to do my corp mandated internet security training. Only it needs popups. <sigh> ... I wonder if it needs cross site scripting and third party cookies too?
This was my parents' village (in the UK) last week. This week, my Australian colleagues had to leave campus because the power grid can't cope in the heat. The same happened in Tokyo last summer, with threats of rolling blackouts as heat stroke hospital emissions soared.
What baffles me is that climate change is clearly affecting (nearly?) everyone on a personal level now. So... why are we not all panicking?
Is it because with so few alternatives to fossil fuels, we don't know what to demand?
@elizabethtasker "Norgaard attributes this lack of response to the phenomenon of socially organized denial, by which information about climate science is known in the abstract but disconnected from political, social, and private life, and sees this as emblematic of how citizens of industrialized countries are responding to global warming." https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/2899/Living-in-DenialClimate-Change-Emotions-and
