- You mean the Oscar-winning critical darling? -- nm - mafic Jul 9, 16:22 1
  - Volnelk is still correct. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 16:32
- Underrated? Your last line is what everyone says! -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 14:49

Excel Question - Mel Profit Jul 9, 12:52 10
- You wanted the column two values to be given their own rows? I would do a VBA script to write them onto a second sheet. Then it would be easy to ... - zork Jul 9, 15:42 2
  - I was wondering if that was the solution. Looks like I'm going to be looking into VBA...first time in a long while. Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 9, 15:56 1
    - Yeah, a while ago I could have done that in no time. - zork Jul 9, 16:18
- Are the multiple entries in column 2 delimited somehow (tab, comma)? -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 12:57 3
  - They are technically with [ ] Symbols -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 9, 13:27 2
    - Ah so they are [a] [b] [c]? With a different number of responses in each row? -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 13:29 1
      - yep. I need to tie Column A with just it's one entry to Columns B and C which have multiple entries in one cell. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 9, 15:40
- Can you copy column 2 to the last column, then use Text to Columns? Data >> Text to Columns -- nm - JaxSean Jul 9, 12:56 2
  - (the reason I say copy to the last column is that I don't know how many values you have in column 2.) - JaxSean Jul 9, 12:58 1
    - I can have any where from 2 to 8 entries in column two. - Mel Profit Jul 9, 13:28

- Hopefully this leads to fun things like artificial gravity, repulsor beams, and space travel from purely electric power -- (edited) - Beryllium Jul 9, 12:43 1
  - Or maybe just really big TVs -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 9, 12:55
- Semi-man? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 12:39 1
  - I wonder why the comics have never gone with this obvious rival to Superman -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 12:52

How many times do you need to dribble going coast-to-coast these days? -- (link) - spamlet Jul 9, 12:09 13
- That's a Free Throw line, not a baseline -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 14:08
- I saw a response on this from someone on officiating that this is meant to be precisely legal in the NBA. - Reagen Jul 9, 12:18 5
  - He took three steps after he picked up the ball. That's travelling in every league. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 12:23 4
    - He didn’t have control really. He started dribbling on the 2nd step after corralling the ball. The running from the mid-court line is a bit much. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 13:41 1
      - Probably could have called a carry as well -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 13:57
    - 'cept the NBA for the superstars. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 9, 12:54 1
      - this -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 13:22
- lol. I was going to answer 3. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 12:12
- when did traveling stop getting called? i feel like an old man yelling at clouds, but i know it's different from when i was watching -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 9, 12:12 4
  - You're more likely to see a travel called when they step before dribbling than you are to see someone get called for taking three steps. - Krusty Jul 9, 12:25
  - ESPN's "Don't Walk" video is at least 13 years old. -- nm - mara Jul 9, 12:21 2
    - June 1996 -- (link) - Max Jul 9, 12:24 1
      - Time. Boy, I don't know. -- nm - mara Jul 9, 12:28
i'm starting to get back into cake decorating (erotic cakes, to be specific) and i'm watching all of the instagram and youtube tutorials.. they look - chicken daddy Jul 9, 12:08 2
- I hate cakes covered in fondant. They must be edible and able to be cut into normal pieces for people to eat. - Krusty Jul 9, 13:50
- TL;DR, i'll mail you cake dicks and they'll be delicious. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 9, 12:16

- Right? - Spawn Jul 9, 11:50
MTG Arena: 4-3 in my first D&D draft set. Went red/white heavy on the goblins with the Goblin Lord pack 2, pick 1. Needed probably one more removal. -- nm - Qale Jul 9, 11:35 2
- Hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to draft a little. Maybe a sealed since I’m not great at draft anyway - spamlet Jul 9, 11:52 1
  - I shouldn't have done that sealed last night. For some reason I thought you had to play sealed to get a special card like at paper pre-releases. - Qale Jul 9, 12:09
WWE: Bayley injured and out for 9 months -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 11:34 1
