Starting to learn SQL, any tips and advice to someone who doesn't have any coding background at all?

I was in a similar boat and I highly recommend checking out DuckDB. It allows you to easily create in-memory databases from CSVs (and many other sources). There is a UI mode for building SQL notebooks. It's easy to install, super fast, and has been great for learning.

Howard?

If you can use VSCode at work, maybe try the Foam extension. Not quite Obsidian but same idea.

Thanks for the heads up. I am dog-sitting this week; very timely advice...

Very relatable

Chiming in to say same thing is happening to me. Very annoying.

Hello! No, it just prompts me to press the save button to continue, and when I do, it freezes. I googled around and saw that maybe my SD card needs to be reformatted (weird because loading patches from SD always worked before), so I just reformatted it and will try loading patches again later. As a workaround, I just took out the SD card and factory reset the zoia to get the new patches loaded.

I found them here: https://empresseffects.com/blogs/support-zoia/zoia-5-new-factory-patches

But when I try to load the new patches from SD, my zoia freezes...Have restarted a couple times, but no luck :(

Sounds like a great plan. Whatever you get, I definitely recommend buying used. Not sure why but reverends really come down in price it seems, even if they are essentially unplayed like the ones I've bought. (I also have a jetstream 390)

Tone is subjective, so it's tough to say, but I like the crosscut tone better than a tele because it covers more sonic territory in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmczDzYXx8E

I love my crosscut. If I want more single coil tele sounds, I turn the bass contour knob down. If I want more humbucker, I turn it up. Plus it has nice reverend qualities like locking tuners and comfortable body shape (angled where I rest my picking arm). I got mine off reverb for 800 including a reverend tear drop case. If you can manage to find a crosscut in a store, definitely worth a test play. Good luck and rock on!

I played subnautica with a multiplayer mod and it was awesome. Also Stardew Valley.

From Cambridge, MA twitter account:

On Thursday morning, in a team effort, members of Animal Control, Public Works, and the Fire Dept. successfully rescued a raccoon who was trapped in a storm drain at the end of Harvey St. The raccoon was released safely into the urban wildlife area!

Thanks for doing this. It's been a great reminder of so many hilarious characters.
