I made a spreadsheet with automated formulas to pull data from mint and my credit card to track income, taxes, business deductions, expenses budget and forecasting. Super excited at how sophisticated it is. It easily beats Mint.com’s budget functionality. Well, probably because I made it customized for my needs.

yesterday I started having this strange behavior on my Google Docs files where my cursor seemed stuck on the left side of the line, even though typing was possble (letters kept getting added to the right of the cursor as I typed). Also, cursor movement both on keyboard and mouse was invisible, and selecting any text was impossible.

This is a new bug where the latest version of Google Chrome acts weird with Adblockers on. More info on: https://piunikaweb.com/2021/04/15/google-docs-cursor-stuck-on-left-not-moving-formatting-issues/

I solved it by disabling Adblock for the Google Docs website

even more strangely, I only have this problem on my Google Workspace account’s Google Drive files, not on my personal gmail chrome session’s google docs files (personal also has Adblock enabled, and it doesn’t exclude Google Docs domains)

> Sweden’s Pandemic Experiment: When the coronavirus arrived, the country decided not to implement lockdowns or recommend masks. How has it fared? – The New Yorker

Interesting. It’s a mixed bag, but Sweden got similar death rates to the European average (although higher than its Scandinavian neighbors), with less stress about strict restrictions. Also, deaths in elder facilities seem to have skewed death tolls up, which is a very specific portion of the policy.

Maybe just giving general common sense advice and let people figure things out worked? “Preferably stay apart from others, and eh don’t trust masks to be magic; staying apart is the real failproof measure. But if you sometimes want meet up with people, that’s okay but be safe.. and if you *have* to stay with people, okay then wear masks”

It’s possible that policies too strict just caused sectors of the population to revolt and go crazy and make things worse. Also, allowing for occasional, safer gathering for mental sanity could have helped – some health issues for some people seem related to the isolation and not to coronavirus per se.
