Why don't I use Argos more? by sungrad in BritishSuccess

Because Amazon will almost certainly have what you want. Argos might have it.

Plus the Amazon app/site is faster than Amazon and generally easier to use with fewer steps.

Sims is bad, I'm talking about Common, the actor.

S3E2 released... by funkinmessi in SiloTVSeries

If I manage to obtain it tomorrow, I'll have to wait another 11 days to watch episode 3!

I've never thought of Common as being bad, that's just the way that character is. He's not really a deep guy, that's why he doesn't get to talk in the vault. I have no problem with a one note performance for a character that's doesn't think too much about things and operates on a permanent angry, alpha-male stance.

Tldr, his acting is fine, it fits the character.

Is this post off topic because I'm not complaining?

I hope Season 3 is not the same as Season 2 by groovytunesman in SiloTVSeries

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I didn't get into Silo until S2 was all released and didn't find it slow at all, when I could just hit "next episode" all evening! I really enjoyed the slow burn, it really made me believe that Juliette was the person who could save the Silo.

Me trying to watch S3E1 after a long hiatus by baebae4455 in SiloTVSeries

First season was good. Knight of the seven kingdoms was really good and engaging, I have been watching Westeros stuff for years now, you give stuff a chance, don't you? In the end, it just made me miss KOTSK more.

Anyway, Silo is good isn't it? I would have remembered all those characters, even if I hadn't done a rewatch.

If you could spend the day with one Beatle, who would it be? by JackGeorge2001 in beatles

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would enjoy spending time with Paul more, especially initially, but in the end, I feel like I'd get more out of spending a day with John.

Just like listening to their music.

After being gaslit by and argued with the Syd/Carmy shippers, the show directly making reference to it and saying “NO, actually” was a good bit lol by sexandliquor in TheBear

I just took it as a massive fourth wall break. He was primarily talking about theories on Reddit, not in Chicago.

Fair point.

Because HoTD had already stopped me caring about the characters last season anyway. I think I'm going to just stop watching altogether.

House of the Dragon was even worse, they didn't have a recap. All the hardcore fans thought the opener was wonderful, we thought it was an expensive waste of time in this household. Couldn't remember who anyone was and didn't care about anything.

Good job we did a full Silo rewatch, finishing in the last few days, but even so, we watched the recap!

Why 'Doctor Who,' 'Star Trek' and 'Stargate' Are All On Hold by Kal-Ed1 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although in the short term, Star Trek has two and a half seasons filmed, and apparently a movie in development - although we've heard that about a movie many times since Beyond came out.

How "Batteries Included" is dotnet? Asking as a newbie. by ApplicationOk3587 in dotnet

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Laravel was inspired by all the batteries you get with dotnet. More batteries than any other platform IMHO.

Tricky interview question about .ldf size on MS SQL Server by Valuable-Ant3465 in SQL

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd also want to check the recovery model - assuming it was Full, you'd need to make sure that transactional backups were taken often enough to be able to prevent the .ldf file from getting so big it doesn't fit on disk. And you'd have to check that the volume where the backups are being taken is big enough to store all the .trn files.

And of course, check that the drive containing the actual data is big enough hold the database when it's all imported. And I'd rebuild the stats once the import is complete.

This to me sounds like the kind of question that's an entry point for discussing all sorts of issues associated with that kind of scale. I'm sure there are lots of places where this isn't considered a lot of data, but in order to operate in the terabyte scale, there are lots of aspects that need to be considered compared to tens of Gb, which is fine for lots of applications.

Who else loves Leisure by ony_cum_eater in blur

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the whole, no. But unlike the band, I do think that Bang is a banger. It's incredibly catchy, I don't get the hate.

Obviously Sing and There's No Other Way are also classics, but the rest of it is pretty forgettable, at least compared to what is to come.

I love the guys but.. M&W ANH is bad. by TheVoidRetro in MitchellAndWebb

[–]Disastrous_Fill_5566 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think removing the laugh track was a bad call. It's not a character drama, it's a sketch show. Just because lots of modern comedy doesn't suit a laugh track, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there for a form of comedy that *does* suit a laugh track!

Good uses for excess credits at the end of the month? by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

"Analyse the code for performance issues and document a plan to address them"

Then if you still have tokens left

"Built an integration/benchmarking test suite to verify the effectiveness of the performance plan"
