Beyond Thunderdome was good in my book, because it expanded on the Mad Max world. Methane from pigs, of course!

I really didn't like Fury Road. It just felt like an over-the-top rehash of the end of Mad Max 2, without meaningfully expanding the world. Everything was far too polished, excessive, and wasteful, for no particular purpose.

LibreOffice still doesn't have tables! Not to mention the new(ish) functions in Excel, like LET and LAMBDA.

Power Query the language is nice, I kinda like it. I've read the UI and engine works quite well in PowerBI, but I haven't used it.

The Excel engine is way too slow though. Apparently they're two entirely separate implementations, for some architectural reason, not exactly sure why.

Excel's Power Query editor on the other hand, is an affront to every god from every religion ever. Calling it an "advanced editor", while lacking even the most basic functionality, is just further proof of their heresy.

Not sure what on Earth that is, but it doesn't sound too smart to me.

A legal resolution would establish which country has owned it the entire time the conflicting claims have been around, not just from that point forward.

So it's not really unclaimed, it's just Schrödinger guest starring in an episode of the hit TV show, The Westphalian Wing.

It's related to a thread from yesterday, I'm guessing you haven't seen it:
