The helpful folks at Philip Morris have provided this chart about the health effects of cigarettes, and, would you believe it, they're completely fine!

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything But then again I was thinking about nothing And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name And I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE! And I go: What, what's the matter? And she goes: What's the matter with you? I go: There's nothing wrong mom And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs! And I go: No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, Why don't you get me a Pepsi And she goes: No you're on drugs! I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way! I go: Mom just give me a Pepsi, please All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me Just a Pepsi

I also have to LOL at DeBeers sending whoever will listen a graph that seems to literally state fewer than half of whatever cherry-picked group of yahoo’s they found perceive diamonds of any kind to be “romantic” or “special.”

See also Modern Monetary Theory. One of the TL;DR's of which is that so long as the money is used towards a productive end (recirculated, spent, etc.) rather than just piling up somewhere it will not generate inflation.

And also that if you are in fact the source of a currency "borrowing" is just a really roundabout way of printing more.

We'll see pretty soon if this holds true or not. Inflation numbers for the US released today were significantly higher than predicted.

The graphs have a tickmark for July (last year) and beginning of 2021 which is incredibly  but vaguely understandable as those are the two peaks of the outbreak.

I’m sorry I know Excel is awful with dates but you have to intentionally format it as text to get that result. If you just put in the dates remotely normally, it should sort correctly.

Excel guessing at what data type a cell should be is like half the problem with it though.

So I did a crazy thing and went to the source twitter and scrolled down. https://twitter.com/TexasDSHS/status/1387807012076072967?s=20 So yeah just weirdly using a M-Su line for a graph put out on Wednesdays.

zedprime posted:This got it in form although it still leaves a reason to figure out. Probably told they can't deviate from the template at all and the template already had Mon-Sun text filled out. Stupid excel tricks usually leave the date mismatched with the day of the week but maybe it was a huge coincidence. If you're going to manually update the table, that is also the least amount of work - just update the current day and publish it. If you want to keep it sorted you'd need to manually shift over all the other entries. Laziness wins.
