East? I thought you said Weast.

For those who don’t know, this is a decades old joke.

Maybe Gris might fall into this category? The art is watercolor-like. https://kagi.com/proxy/49096932556_9df94050cd_k.jpg?c=ku7SFIUNyzScXcKVCiVtiLt8qp38RhQL-qpVbdZEzLDJAe5oxkuASH4KBlnRxNVbU0-UjMTnFdPJCpJGzapCh641CjuxRLLgJ1LWV6r1hqs%3D

I see these things all over Latin America and stayed at a bunch of places that have them. It can get SUPER hot. The cool thing about them is that the pipes that heat the water are vacuum sealed and don’t heat the water directly. I forget the exact mechanics of it, but it pretty much doesn’t matter what the temperature is. It can take that solar energy and add it to water.

You can open up just about anything and unplug it

That’s the markdown formatting. If you put two spaces at the end of a line, it won’t put them together https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/

No double space example:
For example, No double space

With double space:
For example,
Double space

Charge more for the ugly ones - then they’re more avant garde

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

• Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
• You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven’t had too much issue searching for things though.
• Since they don’t read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn’t a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn’t enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn’t a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it’s easy to make aliases, though it often doesn’t know to fill in, doesn’t do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I’m sticking with them. I don’t really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it’s not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

One thing to know about transactions is that they track data and then write it. It’s not the opening that slows it down. I have a question though, what is your source data? Do you have a big CSV for something? Can you do a db to db transfer instead? There’s another tool called the BCP utility.

Edit: SQL server/ssms have tools for doing migrations and batch imports

I’ve done a lot of work and no, that is not normal.

A few things: First - SQL server has tools for migrating data that’s pretty fast. SQL bulk copy can use some of these. Check to see if the built in db tools are better for this.

SQL bulk copy can handle way more than 15,000 records

Why are you wrapping a data dump in a transaction? That will slow things down for sure.

You generally shouldn’t be doing huge queries like that to where you’re nearing the parameter limit.

Can you share the code?

It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn’t healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, “we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them”.

The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.

and also in the article

I’ve been using it for forever and also used it for DnD, based off of…what’s his name, one of the bigger DM guys on YT. It works great.

I’m using Obsidian for work since cloud note apps are blocked and I don’t like it as much. It works, but I’m not as wild about it.

One issue I recently had with one note is that I wanted to export a section to share on the web and wasn’t able to do it and the web interface doesn’t really let me do the management that I need. My work machine is my main one right now, so I’m stuck with what I’ve got. That all being said, aside from privacy, there isn’t really a direct reason to change.

But I’m not super wild that MS is reading my notes since I’ve also used it as a diary at points. I’ll have to figure that bit out later.

I just read the 25 pages and they used a lot of hard data from China’s own databases, though the data is very limited access and particularly opaque even when compared to other regions according to the report, and it looks pretty compelling.

Edit: I’ll add that I’m changing my mind about it. I used to believe it, then I started to distrust it, but now I guess I’m coming back to it. What’s pretty wild is I’ve watched videos of people going to Xinjiang and it looks totally normal. Mosques everywhere, arabic text, people smiling, etc. Then on top of that it’s pretty clear that western capital wants to reduce China’s gains, so of course we’re happy at these reports.

But the quickest way to clear it up would be for China to let the UN come and look and interview people, but they aren’t. I do recognize that UN investigations tend to come with US spies, but I don’t really see what’s over there to hide, anyway.

F# also does that

Oh know that bit, I saw the link to the CA website and wanted to find it on there

I’m not sure how to find it on the site 😞
I wanted to find it on the site

Funny thing about that, I used to do sound stuff and we’d tell people to practically kiss the mic. Just put it right on the chin and make out with it. Not the last part, but just about that haha

yeah, this is literally a public forum. Everything posted is public. Nothing is private.

I’m so tired…

I’ll watch it
