There's playing a quirky character, and then there's refusing to engage with the premise of the game and spoiling the fun for everyone else. Hope this guy read the room carefully before pulling this stunt.

    I know a vegan who has ex-battery hens as pets. She's against taking eggs away from them because it may cause distress, but often they'll lay an egg wherever they happen to be, and walk away. Those ones are fair game because the chickens have abandoned them, and they need to be collected before they rot in any case.

    Some non-coffee people get so smug about not drinking coffee. We wish they'd put something in their mouths other than their opinions about coffee. But normal non-coffee people? I honestly wouldn't even notice what you ordered.

    I'm working on a personal project that involves calculating the mean, median and mode of word length in a series of poems. I've imported the first into LibreOffice Calc as a CSV, and have about 600 cells of word lengths.

    Calc has Average, Median and Mode functions, but they only accept 255 inputs each. I could split the cells into batches of three and then work with those results, but it feels like that would only let me calculate the overall mean, not the other two figures.

    So firstly, am I even using the right tool for this? Maybe there's a better way than using a spreadsheet. And secondly, if a spreadsheet is the best tool, is there a way I can do the calculations I need?
