It’s odd, but we don’t typically use the term SARGable in Oracle - it’s an IBM term from the late 70’s. ‘Tis useful though.

? Ho does Daarth Tangerine affect UK prices?

It’s more scary with an ampersand

I saw this once when someone tried to delete the Prime Information &SPOOL& dir and mistyped the escape character. It died silently halfway through /bin 😈

Have you seen the portable laptop monitor extenders?

Because marzipan to me smells like cyanide so I’ve never been able to eat it

Good question - sadly, I can’t find a more recent one for sale

Not weighted, connecting rods I think

University of Puebla - amazing place which was started by a catholic bishop who believed in making information available to the public by donating his 5,000 books in 1646 including 9 incunabulae

The original Windows UI circa late 16th century. Keep multiple books open at different pages and rapidly flick between them when studying.

Yeah, we lose 70 mins daylight in Sep far more than any other month

I learnt today that tacos were invented by the Lebanese when they came to Puebla and wanted to reinvent Schwarma

Those kinds of lazy, clickbait headlines annoy me and I refuse to click on them

I identify as an advert for high-end Armagnac 🍸🧐

I think my golden doodle is a vampire. He goes out the dog door without a second thought, but won’t come back in through it unless you invite him in 🐶🧛

I rewatched The Gorge in AppleTV tonight - despite the plot having more holes than a road in New Jersey, the movie works because of the powerful chemistry between the lovely #AnyaTaylor-Joy and Miles Teller. It should be up for an Oscar

I watched fantasy-comic-horror movie #DeathofaUnicorn tonight. I always enjoy seeing #JenaOrtega on the screen and the entire movie is well cast (Tea Leoni Well, the horn does have a lot of girth 😉)

Or you could install Vivino - point it at the label and it remembers what wine you drank and tells you all about it 😀 @emptythimble.bsky.social

I would love to ban the Null value - have explicit ‘not applicable’ and ‘not known’ etc and permit discreet, comparable zero length values for any data type that are meaningful - known to be blank

I inherited 50 Dave Brubeck albums, mostly from the 60’s, so need to run them all through the ultrasonic bath before playing them #vinyl #brubeck #davebrubeck #jazz #humminguru

Three day internals review of all the amazing developments this year

Annual pilgrimage to see the Oracle

Their are quite a few large customers already using vectors in the database

Radar screens at Newark airport went black again overnight — ABC News The brief outage happened at 3:55 a.m.

EWR is our home airport but last night Steph rebooked her return from TX to land at MDT instead. I’ve just rebooked my trip to HQ to fly out of MDT rather than EWR.
