Local story: I'm not sure I would've been as calm as this driver. -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 19, 07:58 1
- No offense to the driver...but I'm on the cop's side here. I hate to say it, but it's easy to fake pained expressions; and you were speeding. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 08:05

    - I think it is what you want, actually. You want Content1+ Content2, right? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 08:03 1
      - he might be looking to pivot description in rows and amount one and amount 2 in columns. he's not saying what he wants. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 08:06

        =if(a1>0, A1&" "A2, "HELP") -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 08:05
    - are the rows themselves lined up properly? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 08:02 3
      - those words make no sense. - tRuMaN Oct 19, 08:03 2
        
        where does the description come in? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 08:05 1

- Hermann's Hermits? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 19, 07:49
- New? It's been that way for a while now, I believe. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 07:38
- After last night...watch him sink like a stone. 84% is his death knell number. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 07:36 34
  - We'll see. I thought he would take the hit for that before last night since it's gotten a lot of attention since the last debate. It hasn't had much - pmb Oct 19, 07:47 1
    - L3 at your last sentence. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 07:48
  - [deleted] 11

      - His performances in the debates has been a lot better than other candidates. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 07:47
      - He'd just advocate for the poor to sell their organs or something. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 07:47

      - you're assigning logic to the tea party?? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 07:42 1

        Why'd you shoot the coyote?! -- nm - Conservative Democrat si Oct 19, 07:45

        This is generally how I do it, too. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 07:47
        
        you don't think you'd like it better with no stuff at the top? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 07:22 8
        
        I don't have it -- ?? -- (link) - amanda Oct 19, 07:27 1
        
        this site, I can't see. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 07:27
        
        Sure, that'd be fine too. (Are you talking about a mobile site or a mobile app? I could see doing the m.site. An app seems like more trouble than it's - mara Oct 19, 07:25 4
        
        The app would mostly just be for photo uploads ... boring stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 07:37 2

        because people were here. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 07:27 3
        
        but they were on B2 as well. you could have noted there that you could see it to try to assist in determining how - amanda jones Oct 19, 07:28 2
