Thanks.

Do you happen to know the brand? I’ve been looking for plugs to reduce wind noise without also cancelling out the sound of my motorcycle.

I feel this - I’m often on the other end working with data from clinicians in the field for massive studies. The forms that come in can have an infinite number of possibilities just for noting sex. Enough so that our semantic layer needs a human reviewer because we keep finding new ways field clinicians have of noting this. Now imagine that over the whole gamut of identifiers.

tl:dr - Humans are almost always the problem in data harmonization.

Thankfully they are alive and doing quite well in our little forest home in Quebec, Canada. Of all the places I used to see them as a kid almost none are still vibrant and busy, but our little corner of forest here has a good population. For now…

Every day makes me understand Marvin from HHGTTG more and more.

In which way am I complaining? I am explaining why calling a valid solution a bandaid might be construed as belittling their very real knowledge of this process. And how that is a regular pattern in a lot technical fields.

And don’t give me this shit about ‘I’m not the person you were talking to’ This is an open forum not a direct/private message.

You can’t expect people who are knowledgeable about this stuff to just forever accept that someone asks for advice, gets told the solution, and then ignores/belittles the person with knowledge.

This is our daily life experience. We get hired to be experts, and get told by non-experts that our solutions are not tenable every single day. Only for that solution to eventually be accepted when the user in question figures out their idea was not useful and the expert was correct.

We have to put up with it at work, we are not obliged to accept it here.

NO Karen, I can not make Teams go back to the way it used to be. No matter how many times you ask.

The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.

These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.

You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.

Everything you say is misconstrued through some lens over which you have no control.

example:

Me: Hey do you want to go for a walk when you are done what you are working on?

Them: Why are you always so critical of how long things take?

Me: What. The. Fuck?

Just be careful where you use it. The active chemical is VERY dangerous to aquatic and amphibian life, and can cause serious problems in cats. Dogs don’t seem to be impacted though.

Thanks. I won’t tell them or it’ll just go to their head.
