Hey, I don't know if this is much advice, but every year you can apply for internships in the european institutions, there are a lot of Portuguese applicants, but it's worth a shot! You can also contact your local / political group affiliated MEP and ask for any internship or MEP assistant opportunities. (application for MARCH-JULY is open right now for the EP here, applications for the commission are closed, but you can also check out other institutions, I think the Ombudsman has an internship too, but if you are interested in the parliamentary work then contacting MEPs may be the best way to go about it other than an EP internship)

Work like translating the EUABC articles probably wouldn't hurt! :P

Incidentally how every Italian ever pronounces both the words "hungry" and "angry"

Classic /r/excel question that I've had to deal with a lot in real life too.

Typically it is because people open up their files wrong.

Despite the deceptive icons, CSV files are not excel files. If you double click one, it will open up in Excel, but you will get Excel's interpretation of the CSV file.

This interpretation includes data type conversion.

If you instead import the data (CSV or otherwise) to Excel, then you can specify the data types of the different columns.

If you specify your SKU with leading zeroes as a text field, it will retain it's zeroes.

This is even more straight forward in Powerquery, which I must admit I use as a glorified text import sometimes, where you just importt the file, then undo the "Change type" step (or disable that it is there automatically), and then convert the specific columns that I care about.

If your legacy system has standardized output formats, you can make little functions to process the flat files in the same way each time, it's pretty neat!

This is my biggest concern as well. This has basically ruined any non-proliferation of nuclear weapons work for like, forever. We keep telling Iran "Oh you don't need nuclear weapon to defend yourself we all respect eachother" oh but look what happens to your territory when you DON'T have nuclear weapons, someone swoops in and sits on it and does whatever the fuck they want. If Ukraine had remained a major nuclear power, this shit would have turned out differently.
