  • I legitimately use this line in one of my scripts because range.find returns an error of the value is not found. The use case is taking a 2d matrix saved as an array, with data collected from multiple excel tabs and rearranging it for a CSV upload into Salesforce. The initial array contains values that the rest of the data does not have, so when I search for a non existent value, I can skip the error.

    Of course vba COULD just implement try/catch statements and that’d be so much cleaner, but alas.






  • Lots of great advice here. I’ll 2nd the YouTube as a resource. I’ve repaired AC units, a garbage disposal, and replaced the damn water heater all from an hour or 2 of research and watching YouTube.

    Also keep a note book that you jot down the seldom done stuff, like blowing out sprinklers, which furnace filter size you need, etc.

    Anything you buy for home improvement, from new cabinet handles to drywall, get an emailed receipt and put it in a special folder/tag that you can find again when you sell. Those dollars spent are tax deductible when you sell your house.

    Builder’s grade = cheapest shit they can buy in bulk.

    Enjoy your new house!




  • If you work with your hands, rest with your mind. If you work with your mind, rest with your hands.

    There’s a lot of crossover here but off the top of the dome:

    Hand-based hobbies -playing music -cooking -woodworking -lifting weights, running, climbing -building dioramas/models -art (needle craft, drawing/painting, sculpting) -**casual video games **

    Mind-based hobbies -puzzles -fast paced video games -programming -learn a new language

    Those in bold are what I do. Also starting to learn art. It’s one of the lowest barrier to entry hobbies. All you need is paper and a pencil.
