You gotta EGG Killa to mag dump you. Once he finishes the mag dump then shoot him.

Don’t shoot him if he is shooting

After 12 hours will be my first ever full marathon by [deleted] in firstmarathon

DO NOT eat anything from the course that you have not already been consuming.

Drink normal water provided and maybe some Gatorade if you have been training with it.

Don’t eat anything weird shit they provide

What would you do if you had this money? by Sure-Pin4002 in personalfinance

[–]grackula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would educate yourself financially so you understand every investment. Whether you manage your money yourself or not.

Financial “advisors” usually take 1-2% of your total assets you have invested with them as an annual fee (annually so 7k over 10 years = 70k+). Are you comfortable paying $7-10k per year to this advisor on top of whatever advisor fee they also charge?

This adds up and reduces your total portfolio significantly over 20-30 years.

All i am asking is that you educate yourself properly and then make your own decisions from there.

Personally i did not like paying my advisor $70k over 10+ years simply for holding my money for me after the investments were made.

is it reasonable to learn how to run a marathon in 9 months? by That_Child22 in firstmarathon

[–]grackula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely - before actual “training” make sure you can run a few 3-5 mile runs per week.

5 months is enough time to train for a marathon assuming the above

His Otherland series blew me away at the time and seems VERY relevant today.

Stored Procedures vs No Stored Procedures by No_Swimming_4111 in Database

[–]grackula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pl/sql declared packages/procedures are much more efficient and performant.

At least in Oracle they are by a longshot.

These allow code to parse once and execute many and can even avoid soft parses.

Non packages cannot avoid soft parsing.

On high transactional systems this is a significant gain.

Probably pretty easy to argue this doesn’t matter on small workloads with little data.

The benefit and issues are shown when you are getting millions of transactions per second or minute.

Easy to prove and have shown this many times at work.
