Stop looking at national numbers, or we're doomed to ever increasing majorities in zone 2 and third party status in parliament. I don't know how you can possibly say that. It's not just the people who voted Lib-Dem. There might be only a few dozen seats where you could add the Lib-Dem vote to the Labour vote and get a win. But that isn't even half the effect that the Lib-Dems had on the election. It's the people who saw the Lib-Dem attack lines and decided that they weren't going to vote at all, because Labour was the only possible non-tory option to win in their seat and Corbyn was a big racist brexiter. Attacking Labour depresses Labour turnout, and the Lib-Dems went all guns blazing on Labour, up and down the country.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Owen Paterson getting real loving angry on Today at the idea that we might sacrifice fishing rights for financial passporting in a future trade deal with the EU, which makes me wonder what party (and what country) he thinks he's been part of all these years. There are 11700 fishermen in the UK. Many of those fishermen are actually EU nationals, employed on British registered ships who will probably leave after Brexit anyway. The national GDP contribution is even tinier than the jobs- the entirety of agriculture is a half of a percent, and fishing is less than 5% of that. Fishing is never going to be an important part of a modern economy. It's a joke that the fishing industry has been such a huge part of the national conversation. It doesn't even need to be compared to the obviously gigantic finance sector. Ever heard a single thing about contact lens manufacturing? circuit boards? Much bigger industries than fishing, which have much more room for growth and which will be significantly impacted by this trade deal.

jaete posted:And this ties directly to my favourite question to ask those people who actually like Excel: so what’s your unit test framework for those formulas then? What does that mean? What answer are you looking for? I do a lot of excel stuff at work but I am not from a coding background- and I don't know how I'd answer that question. if you're just asking "How do you know the formula is giving the right result", I'd do a manual check on a few random results to see if it is giving the answer correctly/as expected.
