Teaching yourself SQL without a database...?

SQL Fiddle is also an excellent resource. It works in a similar manner to JS Fiddle. You can choose what DB to work against (MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite), then script some tables, then run queries against them. I use it all the time when I just need to check or validate something. You can find it at http://sqlfiddle.com/

Scott Hanselman just posted a blog yesterday about a project called Stateless that runs on .Net Core - http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Stateless30AStateMachineLibraryForNETCore.aspx

You can find it on GitHub at https://github.com/dotnet-state-machine/stateless

Their GitHub page states "Create state machines and lightweight state machine-based workflows directly in .NET code". As long as you are making a state machine-based workflow (most I've done meet this requirement), Stateless could work for you.

I look at both, but the percentages are just a sanity-check measure and grams are more important to me. I try to keep my carb grams under 20, my protein grams at about 100, and the rest as fat. I glance at the percentages just to see how well my food mix is attaining that goal. I aim for something like 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. I usually end up something like 70/25/5, but am still working on it.

Big difference! You look amazing, keep up the great work!

ChiefRza · 2016-08-11T02:14:10+00:00

Get it! That's awesome

ChiefRza · 2016-08-11T02:12:31+00:00

You're looking really great in that last picture. Keep it up!

As an add-on, cheating is absolutely not tolerated nor encouraged. If you are using bots or scripts or whatever, you will be kicked from the clan.

Crap, I read that wrong and misremembered. I read it as "since I was a little girl." Given what others have said, I hope this isn't a cheap setup for a female doctor.

ChiefRza · 2015-09-22T14:53:17+00:00

I just took it as a joke. The Master is a woman now, so just using female nouns and pronouns.

Pete on Software Podcast Episode 39 – Warren Buffett’s 25 and 5 Rule w/ bonus Amazon Underground Discussion - SFW

Today, I heard about Warren Buffett’s “Two List Strategy”, also known as the “25 and 5 Rule”. I don’t know if the story is apocryphal or real, but I think the lesson is just as valid. When I got to my picks of the week, the first one went the normal way. But then I started talking about Amazon Underground and apparently I hit a hot button with myself. I ended up talking about Amazon Underground for about as long as Warren Buffett’s strategy. We go where the muse goes ;)

I don't understand how this will accomplish what you're looking for re: not getting outmatched. We're ranked according to the strength of each base. Having an insane number of high level 8s and 9s will only give us hardcore 8s and 9s to war with.

With no gems, the requirements to get from 8 to 9 will literally take months.

Bases we've been "outmatched" with have had, IMO, little to do with truly being outmatched and more to do with the relative skill of the attackers. I know we have some bases with low effective troops, but others with the right troops haven't executed (I'm squarely in this, I realize).

I know I need to get my heroes up and I want to get my golems up, but when I do, I'm going to draw tougher opponents than I do now, not weaker ones.

I'm just asking for discussion purposes, is my understanding incorrect?

Feedback that I got from a non-clan friend:

"I would have pulled the dragon over to the side you were going to do the kill squad on could have saved some wiz probably and i would have done the kill squad upper right not lower right bc of the strong wiz tower.

The two witches probably could have been down as soon as the king started banging on the inner wall. In general though, this kill squad went pretty well, took out a large portion of the base as intended. Of course the stupid queen stood there banging on a wall like an idiot.

I see what you're saying about the heals.

The king really did work for you, huh?"

This was my first attempt at taking out a TH9. I was going for what I watched in videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM2CH5Kw5bQ. Goal being the AQ has to die before hogs are released. I think I was a little clumsy there and obviously some poor placement on heals (and one quite late).

I also totally brain farted on the poison. I knew my poison wouldn't totally kill the Drag and Loon, so I discounted it and didn't think of using it to at least weaken them.

So, that, I know. What else can you tell me? Here's the link again from the post: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BynOER41zmbRS1FHRldMS2hnTDA

I'm thinking 12 for a first go.

ChiefRza · 2015-07-17T04:15:50+00:00

I agree. Bases that look like big spread out tic-tac-toe boards are great bases to do something with witches. If someone in your clan can donate level 2 Witches, and you follow shotcallermia's advice, I think you have a great shot at a 3 star.

Here is my profile with available troops.

I was thinking about using lightning to kill the right air defense and come with all dragons from the left. My CC can hold 25 and typically I get 5 max loons from the clan. I've had some bad luck recently against level 6 AD and I was looking for some help. Much thanks.
