    This is the way, though.

    Grow your own = Insanely cheap, very easy, super delicious.

    Farmer’s market = Cheap, convenient, super delicious and big.variety.

    Friends with chickens = Delicious high quality free eggs offloaded onto you every week.

    Grocery store = Low quality crap; twice the price. An unpleasant experience of other miserable people and awful music. A chore of a thing to do. The whole layout trying to be themed like a fancy farmer’s market but you can’t even find the plum vinegar!

    By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.

    But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.

    iirc John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect grade 4 nostalgia, though.

    Hell, I could’ve picked that up off playing Jurassic World Evolutions in the last six months and it’s backpedal lore.

    Whatever it is, Michael Crichton was no idiot.

    I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…

    Invertebrates? No. All out

    Fish? No. Also a Hammerhead would’ve really sold this comic lol.

    Birds? No. Though, even on the side they do often have a tilt toward frontal in a lot of predatory birds. It could be argued…

    Reptiles? No.

    Amphibians? No. There’s no even trying to place rules on that optical chaos.

    Mammals? Yeah, pretty much. Can’t think of an outlier but I’m sure there’s plenty of obvious ones.

    Edit’ Ah, there we go. Of course marine mammals are an exception. But back in land, as too are llamas. Makes you wonder…what are the llamas plotting?



  • SQL enjoyer?

    Every time I use it I feels like I’m going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery…👍

    UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”

    looks up better way

    “Oh, what the fuck?!.. Nope, this will just be quicker…” UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL…

    Join in a table sharing column names… Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc… Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it’s fine…

    “When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?”

    “Okay. Yep. Easy.”

    “So why can’t you do that with expressions?”

    SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY

    “Okay, okay, okay!.. Jesus…”

    And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…

    I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so…ugh.



  • Honestly, Americans overseas are usually fantastic people. It’s only the ones that do tour group type stuff that get on everyone’s nerves including all the other foreigners. Which, coincidentally, seems to be the cohort the article is speaking about.

    If you’re not one of them, don’t worry about it. You’re travelling, not on a school excursion for adults that don’t want to/can’t take care of themselves. Most people love American travellers. Very friendly, inquisitive, and generous people.

    Yeah, but kudos to whoever the UI dev for CONTAIN.MOD.C12 is.

    If I had to guess the taskbar icons; Dashboard Mode, Fullscreen Mode, Report View, Directories, System Management, Power Management, Home, Settings, Shopping, Trash.

    Up top looks like all the controls you need for the chamber to open and close doors, set temps, change vitals views…

    Dunno what’s up with the primary monitor not adopting the dark UI theme, but that happens with GNOME some times.

    Friend’s colleague needed Excel to, “return the month where the majority of days in the week fall into”. Had Copilot do it and sent it to my friend, apparently impressed by making such a robust looking formula.

    The formula:

    My friend’s solution a minute later:

    I can see it could be slimmed even less, but I assume the table is large so LET is doing performance stuff.
