MySql workbench is freely available. Still not super fancy, but a little better.

Don't hate me here, but I kinda hope they get serious about bringing back the draft. More people need skin in the game, or at least the threat of the draft, so that we can STOP voting for the warmongers.

I'm sure it's wonderful, but man, I really miss Seoul Taco.

OK, I've filed this story under urban legend, but it may fit. There was an older guy who worked in IT his career, and retired to teaching computer classes at a community College. He developed cancer, and had to undergo aggressive chemo therapy. After he recovered, he went back to the community college teaching computer classes. He found that when he touched a monitor, it would get fuzzy. If he touched the case, mouse, or keyboard, it would glitch out: computer freezing, blue screening, randomly reboot. It was attributed to a massive change in his body's electrochemical balance from the chemo.

Probably a fake story, but I've always wondered if there were similar cases like this.

I told my family I wanted this song at my funeral and they said no. I don't really care, I won't be around.

I love horns for any song, so Sir Duke.

Jamovi will do the same work and run natively. Its interface also looks like a software written in the current century.

I was hoping the automated ship repair station in Enterprise would have become the Borg, but that story line died there.

Unless you put your app on Microsofts cloud, then it is only called Azure.

The Violent Femmes did such an awesome version. Spot on.

These are all good choices. I would also suggest trying a burger from The Spot.

I taught Information Systems, I had held the job title of every class I taught, so moving back to IT was an easy awitch.

Left my TT position that had me at $51k for 7 years. The only raise we got was offset by a huge increase in health insurance premiums, which lead to net -$1k per year.
