My experience has been quite the opposite. Some bank processes remain oral traditions about clicking excel filters by hand because any code would have to be extensively documented and tested.

For documents that require a longer process, I prefer formats that I can use comments and TODO in, with a text editor that feels familiar.
Other than that, I strongly agree. Word is also de facto standard when you want others to open and edit your document.

Buy something (semi-)professional like the Panasonic NE 1840. There should be smaller, cheaper variants. The NE 1027 EYG will most likely work for home use. Commercial appliances are made to last and then be repaired.

A playlist destroys the magic of the monumental achievement that this represents but visualizes the quantity pretty well:

750 performers contributed to 260 hours of recordings. The three hours I rounded up would represent a major part of some other‘s work.

Their CFO gave a talk this summer that I went to. He noted that green energy does not solve their sustainability goals, as about a third of the CO2 emissions are process related. He talked about their capture plans but noted that they are unlikely to be big enough to capture ongoing emissions, essentially admitting that this looks good on slides but would work at scale.

That’s a common waiting time at my local bike shops to be honest. The difference is that you can do most stuff on a normal bike yourself with off the shelf parts (supply chain woes permitting).
