    Create a table in Libre Office, I’ll wait…

    (Hint,the devs have flat out stated they will never add tables to Calc, as it’s wrong to do).

    99% of Excel usage includes a table in the first, or second, sheet. Without tables a spreadsheet app is useless, in my opinion, regardless of how “wrong” it is (and I agree that it’s wrong).





  • I’d start with understanding there is empathy, and sympathy - one means to feel what another feels, one means to intellectual understand what another feels.

    You’ll find theres not a clear agreement on which meaning is assigned to which word - I use empathy to mean “understand what another feels” and sympathy to mean “feel what another feels”.

    So from my definitions, empathy is an intellectual function, while sympathy is an emotional response.

    My understanding is ASPD (and some other disorders) have difficulty with sympathy, but since empathy is the intellectual process it’s “easier” to develop/practice. Then you can work on emulating sympathy.




  • Pretty much all farming should be produced more locally.

    50 years ago our food was much more local in the US. There were orchards and greenhouses where I grew up.

    With today’s materials and electromechanical tech, greenhouses would be very effective all over the US.

    Why are we shipping apples and grapes from Chile, to California, which then go on trucks all over the US? No way that’s more energy efficient than local greenhouses, and orchards.
