Is it just me, or is there nothing more soul-crushing than watching a game where everything goes right for seven innings, only to have it all fall apart in a matter of minutes? I was watching the highlights from last night and it just reminded me of how much mental toughness matters more than raw talent sometimes.

You can have a pitcher throwing absolute fire, looking like an absolute ace, and then one small slip-up or a tired arm in the later innings just guts the whole effort. It feels like once the momentum shifts, there’s almost no way to claw it back. It’s frustrating because it feels less like a loss of skill and more like a total collapse of composure.

I've been following certain teams for years, and it feels like this pattern repeats constantly. Do you think it's more about the physical fatigue of the players, or is it purely a psychological hurdle when the pressure ramps up late in the game?

Nicholas King said:Are you just looking at this "open" data, or do you actually need to perform tasks with it? Based on how you described the issue, it sounds like you might be using the wrong tool—this feels like a classic Access situation.

I work as a traveling sales rep for a small company, and to make manual invoicing easier, I’d love to have all my customers listed by their business names.
Then, when I click on one, I want their specific company details to pop up so I don't have to hunt for their Tax ID or address every single time.

Once I get that working, I’d try to link everything else together (all shipping receipts get scanned and entered into Excel by number and company name), so if possible, I could filter by customer to see their total billings. Essentially, a mini accounting program.
I am willing to set aside some budget just to make my life easier.

Thanks

I'm not exactly an expert in this area, so I'm looking for some guidance if you don't mind:

In Excel, I want to have a list of companies using just their shortened names—for example, "Smith & Co"—and then have a button that, when clicked, pulls up the full profile, including the legal entity name, tax ID, and address.

Is this something that can be done, and would it be difficult to set up?

Thanks a million!

I have a quick question since I haven't seen this discussed here yet
Here is the situation: My mother receives Social Security, and my father receives his own benefits. If my father passes away without leaving any assets behind, can my mother claim his higher benefit amount? Additionally, would she also inherit any outstanding debts or loans he was still paying off?
