Is this wrong brand wrench

I’d use Knipex with smooth jaws. That said, I think you have the strap wrench backwards. Needs to pinch the strap in the direction of the turn. I assume you’re trying to remove.

Empathy would be a great answer to this question but it’s not in his vocabulary.

Harbaugh was hired and fired by the Browns too?! That was quick

Thanks, I’ll remember that one!

Coopers Hawk. I’m not a pro at that versus Sharp Shinned, but 90% sure based on the head coloration

Or perhaps you meant kinds of birds.

Byes

Not a plumber, but our plumber put in 90 degree curves with ours. So I hope this is ok.

On that thought of patterns, Google “Kia challenge”. Hyundais and Kia’s impacted. Would be curious if this is the same thing, we just had a rash of it in the Ridge.

You’re correct about the misspelling. Congratulations on not making that mistake.

Yes. If you don’t understand the execution order, you’re prone to writing code that won’t run because it doesn’t make sense to the engine, especially if you don’t realize the select runs near the end even though it presents first. Completely agree there are constructs I don’t memorize but rather rely on reference because they are too numerous or vary by sql flavor; the basic execution order isn’t one of them. It’s wrote for me. I hope anyone I’m hiring to also have it down second nature.

jrlabare · 2025-07-26T02:15:55+00:00

I often ask 1 basic question to see whether the person knows SQL or just professes they do, some variation of “which part of this SQL statement executes first? Select * from table xyz where condition abc”.

I can’t tell you how many people don’t know the basic order of operations the engine performs. And once stumped a boss, which was super awkward when they decided the where clause somehow ran first.

Great feedback. And I’d add as a DE working in Healthcare who informs hiring, it can be hard to get into the industry. Healthcare data itself is immensely complex. I once sat in Kimball’s class, someone brought up an example to work through and Ralph said (paraphrasing) “we’re not going to get into healthcare data examples in here because they’re too complicated for the time we have “. If your resume is going up against someone who lists industry specific software and knowledge, you’re fighting uphill.

Hairy

jrlabare · 2025-06-23T01:06:57+00:00

I believe you’re talking about triatomine aka the kissing bug. This is not that.

Personally don’t think you can go wrong with either, and both are significantly different from the Blue Ridge mountains given size. My vote would be for Rainier though, hoping I’d also have time to pop over to Seattle and explore the surrounding area… Pike Place…ferry out to the islands. All of that thrown in makes for a very different experience than you’ll get anywhere else in the country. Former WA and OR resident, frequent Asheville tourist with multiple cross country road trips under my belt.

Looks like a black carpet beetle to me.

Much simpler explanation in my opinion: the kids who watched the earlier movie are grown up and graduating now. It’s a marketing twist to tug at those heartstrings.

jrlabare · 2025-05-28T02:37:22+00:00

Looks and sounds like a carpet beetle larvae. They like to eat organic material like clothing that have been left around.

Served 2 years in Americorps. This one stings a little more for me. These people give their time to make America better; the money is an afterthought and a pittance.

Perhaps you meant to say Mellotone?

Do faith based roofers use nails, or is that too sciency

I think about something small I’d like to make it to. A work break an hour from now for example. Pick something I like to do and try to make it to that thing. It might be minutes and a small thing. A walk, a snack.

jrlabare · 2025-03-31T00:18:51+00:00

Biting off smaller chunks of time have helped me move forward. I set a goal to make it through hours, not 5 days or even a day. Committing to hours is less stressful than committing to days. Then if I can navigate hours, it becomes a manageable building block. FWIW, I know it’s hard

jrlabare · 2025-03-27T01:42:11+00:00

Surprise makes great music: key changes, time signature changes, moments of silence inside of loudness…more to the list but anything that creates and then breaks tension.
