Excel question: When you're doing an Auto Filter | Advanced Filter in Excel, what does "Criteria Range" mean. - con_carne Nov 5, 10:40 4
- the range of cells with the criteria -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 5, 10:46 3

    - [deleted] 4
      - Are you talking about Oregon 66 and 67? -- (link) - ty97 Nov 5, 10:57

        thats the problem Portland has with property taxes - Guy Nov 5, 11:01

    - there was significant opposition in the Vancouver area because of their proximity to Portland - Guy Nov 5, 10:41 12
      - this is one of two main reasons i oppose building a 3rd bridge between Portland & Vancouver - Guy Nov 5, 10:46 9
        
        is this separate from the project to replace the current I-5 bridge? -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 10:47 8
        
        yes, they want another bridge to alleviate congestion on I-5 and I-205 -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 10:54 7
        
        I think that's silly. - znufrii Nov 5, 10:55 6
        
        public transit between Portland & Vancouver is a joke. - Guy Nov 5, 10:58 4
        
        iirc, Vancouver voted against getting MAX when they had first planned to bring the Yellow Line there - znufrii Nov 5, 11:01 3
        
        yep. they vote against all of their own transit measures too - Guy Nov 5, 11:03 2
        
        really, they just need to expand Tri-Met to include Vancouver, so there's a unified regional transit strategy. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:05 1
        
        Tri-Met has pulled way back because Vancouver refuses to fund it - Guy Nov 5, 11:07
        
        YES! that is the only sort of bridge i would support. either add it to an existing bridge or build a transit & pedestrian only bridge -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 10:56
      - I'd hear about how much a Vancouverite was saving on taxes, and I'd always point out it was counterbalanced by living in Vancouver. -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 10:43 1
        
        heh. that used to be true, but this place has changed A LOT in the past 10 years - Guy Nov 5, 10:49
    - proving the saying that the only bad tax is a new tax. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 10:39 5
      - Hmm. I do have to point out that Google returns zero results for "only bad tax is a new tax". -- (link) - Dr.Vermin is just sayin' Nov 5, 10:52 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        This sounds reasonable. Like the 'frog in a pot of slowly boiling water' analogy. ;) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 10:59 1
        
        that Bill Gates was a prominent supporter of 1098 says a lot to me - Guy Nov 5, 11:05
        
        maybe those weren't the exact words... - znufrii Nov 5, 10:54
amoxy, I suppose I could thank you. I could curse the world, but I'll just blame you and only you for ruining my day. - crash davis Nov 5, 10:20 4

  - i know. but the whole "showed up on (journo) Bill Wyman's doorstep by mistake" thing makes me skeptical -- nm - get pixie or die tryin Nov 5, 10:19 5
    - dumb interviewer: "Why do you sleep with models?" MJ: "Because I can" - crash davis Nov 5, 10:21
    - so you are postulating a faker with a rather extraordinary vocabulary, a gift for writing in Mick's voice, encyclopedic - loosilu Nov 5, 10:21
    - I would look at this more as an attempt to have the material leaked without coming off as vindictive. nm - Dignan Nov 5, 10:21 1
      - Yes, I definitely consider this a possiblity. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 10:22
    - If there wasn't a history of that happening before, I'd be more skeptical. FWIW, I believe it's him. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 10:20
