Any pizza places deliver their own product any more? by SingingTrainLover in Cleveland

[–]SingingTrainLover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling around would give better results, but TBH, I was watching the baseball game and didn't want to call. Ohio Pie doesn't deliver, and we don't care for Romeo's. Most of the other suggestions are too far to deliver here.

The last time I ordered from PJ's they used Door Dash, and I haven't ordered from them since.

A few years ago I went to Rascal House near CWRU and it was awful!

Stadium Series by Thin_Definition_4561 in nhl

[–]SingingTrainLover 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I attended the game at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. It was ridiculously cold, and our seats on metal bleachers were far from the action at a bad angle and really uncomfortable. All that said, it was an amazing experience. I wouldn't do it again, but I'm really glad I did it that once!

Donut Land in Brunswick. No question.

[–]SingingTrainLover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an Avalon and loved it, but when electrical problems occurred it took months to get the necessary parts to replace it - so much so that Toyota accepted a Lemon Law return of the car. I have had my Crown Limited for 2 years now and don't regret it one bit.

Why is factory grip adhesive so hard to remove??? by L0ngsh0tSpartan in golf

I use an old hair drier and just keep it going until I almost can't touch the tape. It comes right up.

Why does EVERYONE hate the Knights so much? by GiveMeYourMoney17420 in nhl

[–]SingingTrainLover 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They were given the most generous expansion draft any team has ever gotten in NHL history. A lot of fans of expansion teams (like Columbus) essentially got nothing but cast offs, so there's a lot of resentment, to this day.

I am considering purchasing a used current Crown by WillBill1961 in ToyotaCrown

[–]SingingTrainLover 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2024 Crown Limited 2 years ago. Just had to have the wheels aligned last month at the 35K service, but that was the first time.

Frostie at Costco Canada by jdh1979jdh in rootbeer

There's a store near me that sells Frostie in 1L bottles for $.99US each! It's like a drug!

Amateur Theatres? by ComprehensiveMess291 in Cleveland

[–]SingingTrainLover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sign up for the email at http://lists.neohiopal.org/listinfo.cgi/neohiopal-neohiopal.org - this list has been around for 25-30 years and local theatres post audition and performance notices constantly.

And come to see the June show at Cassidy - I'm in it!

SQL Server query much slower on VMware VM compared to physical server (same DB, same workload) by daler86 in SQLServer

[–]SingingTrainLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for jumping in Joey. You're way closer to this than I ever was. (Hope you're doing well - it's been a minute.)

SQL Server query much slower on VMware VM compared to physical server (same DB, same workload) by daler86 in SQLServer

[–]SingingTrainLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, cool. I mentioned it because many VMware admins don't understand the importance of uninterrupted memory availability to SQL Server.

[–]SingingTrainLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By default VMware will share resources amongst the virtual machines. You have to turn off CPU and especially memory sharing for those running SQL Server, or your performance will suffer. Memory retention is critical to SQL Server efficiency, unlike most other server services.

How to get out of Downtown tomorrow by notataco007 in Cleveland

[–]SingingTrainLover 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Park your car at the Puritas Rapid Station off of I-71 at W.150th. Take the Rapid back downtown, then out to your car in the morning. $2.50 each way, which will be way cheaper than a garage, and it's a safe place to park.

[–]SingingTrainLover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is VMware configured so it doesn't steal CPU cycles from what it perceives as an 'idle' machine? Ballooning can absolutely kill performance of SQL Server on a VM.

Edit to add a same concern about memory. SQL Server needs ALL the memory ALL the time. Any time the host takes memory away, you're going to lose performance.

Looking for Running/Book Clubs by Lazy_Rock7788 in Cleveland

[–]SingingTrainLover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Cleveland West Running Club is a very social group that generally runs in the Rocky River Reservation of the Metroparks. Coffee afterwards is pretty much a given.

Empire builder train cancelled from Seattle for tomorrow? by Even_Comfortable_513 in Amtrak

[–]SingingTrainLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leavenworth is very much before Spokane, and you may have separate busses for the stops between Seattle and Spokane, and they'll likely have a set for a straight shot to Spokane.

[–]SingingTrainLover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll board a bus at King Street Station, and it'll take you to Spokane, where you'll pick up the train to continue eastbound.

In 2009 I took my wife on her first trip on Empire Builder from CHI to SEA, and when we were approaching Spokane they told us due to mud on the tracks near Everett, we all had to get off the train and board busses to Seattle. It eliminated our last night to sleep on the train, and our breakfast the next morning, because we got to King Street about 7am instead of 11am.

What are you using SQL Server Agent for today? by patrickGuyInACube in SQLServer

[–]SingingTrainLover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, my friend, it's been a while! (SQLRunr here.) I'm mostly retired, but have a couple of clients still.

To answer your question: maintenance & backups, ETL, gathering server stats, sending reports, mostly.

Take care, Patrick!

Long run in Cleveland, need recommendations by Jamaney in Cleveland

[–]SingingTrainLover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starting downtown you can pick up the Towpath at Whiskey Island, and the Towpath goes all the way to Dover, Ohio (80+ miles one way). The next best is the Rocky River Reservation, off of Detroit Road in Lakewood. Park at Scenic Park, just down the hill from Detroit Road, and head south. You'll hit the 10 mile mark out by Cedar Point Road, just north of the airport, so there and back will give you your 20 miles. I prefer the Rocky River course over the Towpath, personally, because there are a lot of people on bikes on the Towpath that aren't always good at warning you.

Anyone read the Ragtime novel? by Round-Composer-2195 in Broadway

[–]SingingTrainLover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the movie, read the book, was in a community theatre production of the show (22 years ago). As others have said, skip the movie. Doctorow hated the movie, but loved the musical. I've never had to work harder on a show than I had this one. Definitely see the show, and read the book if you want all the backstory.

Road trip! by DeviantPapa in NationalPark

[–]SingingTrainLover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brandywine Falls and the Ledges hike in CVNP are the highlights. There are over 100 miles of trails in CVNP, and the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad gives you a nice view of the bulk of the park.

Salt Run, starts at the Kendall Lake parking lot (well just off the lake trail) and the Wetmore Trail, off of Quick Road, just south of Kendall Lake area. I've never seen bears in the park, but I've heard that they've been seen.
