    - Not in so many words. You can't put links in the text of a 'gram and you can only have one link in your bio. So people use Bio Tools. - Mop Dec 19, 10:10 2
      - people link to other platforms in instagram stories all the time. never have been able to in posts, as far as I can recall. it used to be there was a restriction to people -- (edited) - i.b! Dec 19, 10:32

        No. Explain your reasoning. Why is this is a big issue now, when an even bigger and older debt remains unpaid by the "other side"? - Beryllium Dec 19, 10:21 2
        
        Where did I call it a big issue? - Strongbad Dec 19, 10:24
        
        This. -- nm - Marlowe Dec 19, 10:22
    - Correct. As long as I've been in advertising, we've always required pre-payment - probably for exactly similar reasons. -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 19, 09:58 1
      - but also, political vendors are not babes in the woods. like "loss prevention" departments at retailers, these things are likely baked into their biz - hollywood big shot Dec 19, 10:05

  - I mean, better vaccines would alleviate some of the explosive growth? -- nm - judge amanda jones Dec 19, 09:09 4
    - At this point it might not impact the infection rate if they have the newer variants (the vaccines don't seem to affect infection rates much, just - pmb Dec 19, 09:39
    - I wonder if it's nationalism that has them sticking with their own vaccine or if they can't get supply of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccines? -- nm - ty97 Dec 19, 09:26 2
      - Definitely nationalism. -- nm - pmb Dec 19, 09:36

- they're using the russian vaccine, I think. -- nm - judge amanda jones Dec 19, 08:57 1
  - No, they have their own cinovax, shown to be only 60% which they claim was because it was tested in Brazil which had large outbreak - zeitgeist Dec 19, 10:23

Nearly half of 18 to 29 year old Americans still living with parents -- (link*) - oblique Dec 19, 08:29 17
- I would like to see this overlain with % married. I bet it's super correlated. -- nm - judge amanda jones Dec 19, 08:58 4
  - Right? My mom talks about how she felt like the old spinster because all her friends got married earlier than her. - ty97 Dec 19, 09:16 3
    - ross and teresa got married at 24. that felt so young to me, but they had friends who married at 19. -- nm - judge amanda jones Dec 19, 09:33 2
      - I was 24 and my wife 21 when we got married. In retrospect it seems like we were babies - oblique Dec 19, 10:02
      - I was married at 24 - decline Dec 19, 09:45
- The chart is interesting. This percentage has been rising for decades, it not some sudden huge jump. -- nm - ty97 Dec 19, 08:45
- Extended adolescence due to longer lifespans -- nm - rollo Dec 19, 08:33 10
  - also, cost of living. i don't know how the 20-somethings working in retail or starbucks can afford to live in toronto. -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 09:02 9
    - The 2 go hand in hand. We didn't expect 16 year olds working at McDonalds to be able to live on their own in 1995. The 24 yr old at S'bux - rollo Dec 19, 09:16 8
      - i bet there are a lot of college grads working at starbucks actually (not by choice). -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 09:17 7
        
        Most of those are not using their degree to do so, which puts them still in the grey area between "student" and "professional" that we used to reserve - rollo Dec 19, 09:21 5
        
        sure, no argument. but that doesn't really change the financial truth that living costs more for people in that situation now than it did 20 years ago -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 09:27 4
        
        We're emphasizing different nuances of the debate (cost of living v. redefined adolescence) but we share the same conclusion (living at home longer); - rollo Dec 19, 09:37 1
        
        oh, i understand it, people have no choice. I just don't think it's good that young people are literally unable to live in cities on their own. -- (edited) - Andie Dec 19, 09:39
        
        I wonder how different an urban lifestyle is today from 60 years ago. I totally get that rural living would've meant you perhaps were able to grow - oblique Dec 19, 09:30 1
        
        this is just here, but this is the type of rent increases that are happening locally: - Andie Dec 19, 09:33

STIS: Can you make a Google Sheet "unique" to the person using it, almost like a web page? - JaxSean Dec 19, 08:00 6
- How about using Google Forms which would feed the chosen selections into a single spreadsheet? Do they need to see each other's answers? -- nm - Max Dec 19, 09:59
- I know that there are ways to do it with Filters, not sure about the drop downs -- (link) - oblique Dec 19, 08:18 1
  - "Google Sheets currently lacks a built-in feature that allows you to edit filtered data without affecting the rest of the team that is working on that - JaxSean Dec 19, 09:04
- do you want the changes to be shared, or just they all start from the same 'template'? You would have to make a Copy of the sheet for each if that's - Andie Dec 19, 08:15 2

Really user? Got a ticket from someone today asking that notifications from Yammer (it's a Microsoft product that is basically a corporate Facebook) - oblique Dec 19, 07:26 11
