    Honestly, good on you so much for sharing. The fact you’re not ashamed and willing to share could save someone from the same attack, and as others have pointed out, even the most security minded of us can have lapses in judgement.

    I’m really glad you weren’t screwed in the end.










  • This is because you’ve accidentally input the values as text somewhere along the line. First make sure your format is set to date in the range in question.

    Make use of the DATEVALUE formula in blank column =DATEVALUE(your_range). This will output your range as a number. Note that your_range needs to be in your computers date format (I have mine set to YYYY.MM.DD, so that what I have to use, else it won’t work. You might be American, so your dates would need to be MM/DD/YYYY) for DATEVALUE to recognise the text as a date string.

    Then copy the output, paste as values only (alt, h, v, v), then copy that and paste it back into you range.

    Make sure the format is set to date and you’re laughing.







  • While I get that as a stop gap when your city hasn’t built enough PT, car to the station sounds like a good last mile solution. But my personal preference, and how good public transport is set up, is that in 90% o more of the trips around your city, public transport should never be more than a walk away.

    This is not to say that cars should be removed entirely (for disabled people where PT accommodations are difficult, delivery, emergency vehicles etc). Just that you shouldn’t nearly as many cars for the last mile, in a well designed system.

    This is how I try to live, mostly. Can’t get there by public transport? Well I’m not going unless I have to then 👍 because cars are expensive and I’ll get a cab or rent one if I have to. But I live in a fairly car-centric city. It’s totally possible to have your entirely city be accessible by foot + PT.

    I’m not sure if the driverless car tech would ever be viable, and why not just do driverless BRT conversions, which is possible right now, and not that expensive.

    I used to do it this way in highschool, but could never remember if it was divide by or multiply by 3.6

    Instead I now do it as you have shown, except it all goes in the same expression.

    10 km/h * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 2.778 m/s

    No need for the extra steps. Slap it all in the same expression and put it in the calculator (being careful to check that the units cancel as intended)


  • I dislike that my highschool never once gave me the concept that units can simply be treated like constants to be cancelled out.

    I used to do the conversions for each variable before putting them in the equation like a fool.

    Now I’m slapping all of the conversions alongside the original values/units in a single expression like god intended.
