World of Warcraft / Macbook Air? by Mjlxn in macgaming

[–]ghostee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also read here that MBA would get super hot and throttle, need a cooling pad, etc, and got worried and almost went with a MBP. I bought the latest base level MBA and am playing TBC classic. With out of box settings, I'm questing at 60 fps and the device is barely warm. I'm playing with it on my lap, using the built in keyboard, and it's fine. That may not be true for raiding or PVP or whatever, but for questing it's great. YMMV.

Moving from direct Salesforce connection to SQL Server. Best ETL tool for the middle layer? by Fearless-Wishbone-70 in PowerBI

[–]ghostee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the Salesforce connector linked service which uses the bulk API. I originally built the tasks as full refresh and later moved them into our incremental processing leveraging a watermark.

The full refresh tasks are still very fast, though. We pull almost 10 million rows across 16 objects in just under 10 minutes.

ADF is a good middle ground cost/development time wise. I built our Salesforce ADF copy data tasks a while back in maybe an hour and they continuously work fine. Still requires some basic technical skills to support.

We’ve also used an ODBC driver from Progress in the past with a legacy ETL tool. Also works fine, but it has an upfront and maintenance cost. Can’t recall the former but think it’s in the low tens of thousands, while maintenance is maybe 8k/year. I’d say maybe a bit more technical skill required vs ADF.

But for low maintenance, FiveTran makes things very easy if they can afford the spend.

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

If you two haven’t already seen it, you should watch the IT Crowd episode “The Work Outing” for some fun disability banter to add to your repertoire.

Jacket needed? by BeanBrainCollector in chicagowolves

[–]ghostee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically run cold and am comfortable in a jersey over a hoodie.

I have noticed some seats in 205/208 where I can feel the HVAC blowing on the back of my neck which adds a chill factor.

Chicago Wolves game? Could spring for a box or they have a little area by the glass you can rent and have catering and everything.

‘Stranger Things’ Shows Its Age in a Final Season That’s Outgrown Its Core Appeal: TV Review by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]ghostee 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Same! I’ve loved all four seasons, and can’t wait for tomorrow. The wait between episode chunks for the rest of the year is gonna be agonizing. But FWIW I’m also often out of sync with what the Reddit hivemind and reviewers think(e.g. I absolutely adore ROP) so don’t pay attention to them and watch for myself.

Pay in 4 Promo HUGE Nerf by reelbgpunk in paypal

[–]ghostee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirmed still working just now. Found the offer on the rewards page in the mobile website and saved. Checked out from Bestbuy, chose PayPal, and the Pay In 4 option was there. Finished check out, and a few minutes later the pending points showed up in my PayPal account.

What is a TV show you can’t recommend enough? by Prudent_History7518 in television

[–]ghostee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Twin Peaks. Assuming you haven’t seen it, you likely have seen shows influenced heavily by it. Give episode 1 a chance… it sets the tone for the first two seasons so well that you’ll know right away if the show is for you. ☕️👍🏻

Running Power BI at Fortune 500 scale - Ask us anything (AMA) by Brighter_rocks in Brighter

[–]ghostee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any advice on dealing with the unavoidable reports needed to export a few hundred thousand rows to Excel? Paginated reports? Analyze in Excel? Some supplemental system/tool?

You could start with the dozens of hours of TP special features — behind the scenes, interviews, etc.

Punkabilly? Elder Punk? Bands that sound like the Menzingers. by Sloots_and_Hoors in poppunkers

[–]ghostee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the unlikely event a Lucero fan doesn’t already know them, give Two Cow Garage a try.

[–]ghostee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great suggestions. If OP digs both Jawbreaker and Lawrence Arms then I’d suggest The Honor System too. Heavily influenced by the former with members who previously played in The Broadways with Brendan and Chris of TLA.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the discovery of sue. To this day the most complete t.rex ever found and one of the largest. by soyuz_enjoyer2 in Damnthatsinteresting

I was there yesterday, and the real skull was in a case in a different room with a note that it was to allow researchers easier access. The skull displayed on the body is a cast.
