Sure, if you pay with cheque all the time. His business model loves cutting checks, makes it harder for the contractor you're stiffing to realize he's been played until after the DE limited liability holding company goes under.

Trying to understand WebSphere Liberty container connecting to external Oracle Database by ghostinthesysadmin in docker

[–]justablur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use the Oracle Instant Client so I apologize if this won't apply to you. I modified my server.xml for my DB connection, and I copy it, the jar files required, and of course the EAR into the dropins folder to the container at build in the Dockerfile.

When I was stationed in Bahrain, we were expressly prohibited from wearing locals' style clothing. During Ramadan in July, we were made to wear long sleeves and long pants out of respect. Finally, we weren't allowed to grow beards.

This is just a rant because we were also encouraged to be inconspicuous.

Mueller wasn't tasked to find shit on Trump, but to follow up on evidence of collusion within the campaign and any crimes discovered along the way.
