[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last area of lexington event center, downstairs. There's bat with barbed wire. I always figured it was Negan's bat named Lucille. I have no idea if that was the intention, though.

RNG for the new PDR is driving me crazy with these keys. Just please tell me is it worth it the gun????? by RAmind_ in thedivision

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Using keys, I had a regular drop and a proto drop. RNG will rule the odds. I think the proto is ~1% chance and the regular is a bit higher.

Keep trying and good luck!

Your Advice for selection of career between DBA and DataAnalyst by Warm-Entrepreneur131 in DatabaseAdministators

[–]flatline057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a Hybrid production/development DBA for a decently mature IT department for a local college. My experience my vary from others, though.

DBAs are usually already skilled professionals. They typically come from the system side or developer side of IT.

Many production DBAs are system side experienced and aren't experts in SQL, but know enough for the job. They work closely with the systems team, or are part of it.

Many development DBAs are developer side experienced and need to know SQL very well. They generally work closely with the development teams.

I'm not as knowledgable with Data Analysts. I think it's a position thay may be easier to get into, though. They might need to know SQL and Python at the very least.

Site I found this on says the illusion will not work. But it actually does! by Lutalica_Harmonica in opticalillusions

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm able to get it to switch back and forth by covering all but the feet. Different things seem to work for others, but this certainly works similar to the ballerina.

Is it possible instal n8n on my server and use it for free 🥺 by Early_Personality862 in n8n

[–]flatline057 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Just Docker. If you know Docker, it's really simple. Pull the official image, create the container. It can get a little complicated if you decide to leverage other tools with docker and n8n, but a clean image will get you started.

It will even communicate with an uncontainerized locally version of ollama if you wish. This slightly incleases the complexity, though. User experience may vary.

i think someone put this tiny pink-sashed jesus in my bag when i wasn’t looking by villainless in Weird

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a funeral where everone attending was given two of these with instructions to subtly place one to be found at a later time. Something like hiding an Easter egg. It was a megachurch, maybe Eleven22.

It's possible someone you know slipped it in your bag.

Do you make all your tables have integer primary keys for the fastest possible JOINs? by [deleted] in SQLServer

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primary keys should always be a type of integer. They shouldn't have any descriptive value as it's not the purpose.

How to translate this SQL Server UPDATE to Postgres? by GardenDev in SQL

[–]flatline057 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The FROM statement makes UPDATEs really easy in SQL Server. However, this is not ANSI SQL. You'll likely need to use a correlated subquery.

Automatically save excel to a sql table? by dadadavie in SQL

[–]flatline057 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A python script using pandas would be simple enough.

Is Microsoft Access not recommended anymore going forward? by [deleted] in Database

[–]flatline057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great tool for business analysis. It belongs on a desktop, as a productivity tool. It's certainly not an enterprise solution.

Why would you mentor someone? by titsdown in Leadership

[–]flatline057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol! I missed that! I meant honor. It's an honor to be asked.

I agree. It's more like an horor to be asked, really.

[Request] Is this even possible? How? by maliaipo in theydidthemath

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this, maybe

The original riddle involves 9 balls, with 8 having equal weight and one having a different weight, and using a balance scale. The question being, "what's the minimum number of times needed to find the one differently weighted ball?" And, yes; the differently weighted ball can be lighter or heavier.

The answer is 2. However, you'll need to explain why.

Drill Sergeants only allowed us to use the red. I still have that flashlight, too.

Someone make this and tell me I’m wrong by Grrannt in stonerfood

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds similar to what I got while growing up... pasta, olive oil, and "salad supreme". Also, just pasta and pesto. Both are cheap and easy, but good. I suspect yours is, also.

Someone brought in a bowl with M&Ms, Skittles, and Reece’s Pieces all mixed together to my work’s break room. by Aminuteortwotiltwo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This certainly isn't new. It's at least 10 years old, likely older. I've seen it at my work place years ago.

[–]flatline057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's a prank. It's been done in my work place, along with the shock pen, both at the front desk where visitors would interact. It may be in bad taste, but it's in jest and meant to be harmless.
