(assuming of course that they were not kidding).

? I would not consider someone like that a 'friend'.

ooooh this sounds like a lovely idea. Must look it up.

I've met few men who are graceful around compliments. Honestly, don't mean to stereotype, but it doesn't seem to be much of a guy thing.

and they are fully capable of defending themselves from humans. Be ready for a nasty nip if you dare bother them too much.

We used to fly in and out of there, when #Sqlcruise was a thing. Done it several times and singularly hated that part. Esp in those days.

The airport used to suck, big time too.

Watch until the very end. Phenomenally well done.

The Elaia spa at Olive 8 is fantastic, very close to conv center. Lots of great products too, although most from Europe.

Cosmetics for sensitive skin are better from EU/UK than in the US, that is my personal experience. Depending on where you go though, you may find a good spa and you go for a good facial/body work for sensitive skin.

My first real data story after I started the masters. I had so much fun. curiousaboutdata.com/2025/07/01/e...

Half way through the data science masters today. All As so far and happy about that.

This made so deeply sad. It looks disrespect and callousness have become a sort of a casual norm, literally everywhere. I hope these times will pass.

A company that large will attract all sort of opinions on what they do. Positive, negative, everything. And using their products does not have to correlate there, agree. And what Buck said. I've learned this the hard way too.

In a world where you can be anything, be unapologetically you.
You are perfectly imperfect.

Happy Juneteenth! May we never take freedom for granted.

I look forward to meeting her on one of your sql posts! #sqlspider

It could be that other female mid age thing too , which drops the body's ability to control temperature naturally. It sucks in every way imaginable.
