How do you type with boxing gloves on?

return match(true) {
...
};

would be better for that case.

Interesting. There's also `rawValue()` (bypass any casts on the column) and `soleValue()` (ensure there is exactly one record in the results). I kind of like the other method better for readability, though.

Coffee beans pooped out by civets really are tastier. Here's why Pricey civet coffee gets its cred from its journey through the mammal’s gut, which changes the content of fat, protein, fatty acids — and even caffeine.

mmmmmm!

Eloquent: Getting Started - Laravel 12.x - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans Laravel is a PHP web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.

How is that different from the built in timestamps feature?

Not defending him in any way, but he posted that at 9:54 Eastern time.

Smaller executive, larger legislative. The government would do less, but have more people (and a more representative set of people) deciding what to do.

It's blocking me in Tennessee on my home network. Using mobile data works. Can you make it not block me?

I can't believe you guys are taking over people's phones to mine socks for your little sock club!

"Woe is me! Now am I destroyed utterly, Hell cried out, and thus he spoke to Death: See, the man from Nazareth has shaken the lower world, and cutting open my belly he has called a lifeless corpse and raised it up."

-Some choice verses from the Canon of Lazarus for Lazarus Saturday.

Christ raising Lazarus from the dead.

"A lifeless corpse, he heard Thy voice; and at once he rose from the dead, filled with the breath of life and glorifying Thee, O Lord. Lazarus already stank; but, receiving the command of Thy life-giving voice, O my Savior, he arose from the tomb...."

Thanks @hankgreen.bsky.social @ceriley.bsky.social @im-sam-schultz.bsky.social for all the facts. Looking forward to the new podcast that's just all "Gauntlet" all the time.

I like the ones where you have to travel in order to complete the challenge, like the one where you had to move water from one ocean to another.

Also the ones where the outcome is based on how the unsuspecting public behaves.

Christ did not talk about the deserving poor. He did not come to save those who deserved to be saved. He died for each one, even for the very worst. The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor. — Dorothy Day

Seems connected to the introduction of the Pledge of Allegiance in the 1890s, that I'm pretty sure was primarily intended to teach kids that the US is "one nation, indivisible" instead of a union of a bunch of sovereign states, and to place their allegiance to the union above that of your state.
