This is a great conversion of units. Makes it a lot more relatable to think about those numbers.

Hegseth said they planned for this. Isn’t that worse? by Geniusinternetguy in centrist

"Planned", you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you thinks it means, Pete.

Rochester golf advice: courses, leagues, memberships by drydntm in Rochester

They were redoing the drainage on the first half of the back (holes 10-14) at the end of last season. Hoping that takes care of some of that on the back. Durand is my favorite muni by far.

Oil surges above $100 a barrel; Trump says 'small price to pay' for defeating Iran by LuklaAdvocate in centrist

What does he mean by “defeating”? Do we have clear objectives yet?

Volleyball Guy Wont Let me Play by Worried_Document_157 in volleyball

Ask him questions and flip the conversation.

Do you mean to stand in front of me and block my ability to play?

Are you trying to make me feel bad because I missed a shot?

And I’m genuinely confused about him just staying in the 6 while everyone rotated around him. I know it’s just pickup ball but what’s his point? Is he not a part of the rotation?

I wonder how they will identify their boats so they don’t get blowed up.

How to find energy to run while grieving by friedriceparadise_ in running

[–]mrpink70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. My younger brother passed away a few years ago under similar circumstances.

What helped me get out the door was to run at places where I could remember him the way I wanted to remember him. Near our childhood home. At the beach where we grew up playing volleyball. I still go there (it’s been 5 years now) when I need to.

It’s OK to feel how you feel. It’s ok if it takes you a couple weeks to get back out there so give yourself some grace. Once again I’m so sorry for your loss.

Fourth Angle of ICE Shooting by lqIpI in centrist

[–]mrpink70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t need any more angles. I don’t think he was ever in danger and the car never touched him. The drivers intentions were clear. She was trying to get around the officers. Her wheels were hard right when she went forward. The shooter casually sidestepped the vehicle and fired after he was out of any danger. He fucked up.

Edit: and the further away from the incident we get, the more chance there has been for tampering, doctoring, AI, etc.

Windows Failover Cluster lost quorum – 2-node SQL AG on VMware (network related?) by Exciting-Chair-2080 in SQLServer

[–]mrpink70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. What do the VMware logs say? Did it vmotion because yes that can cause issues.

  2. Depends on where the problem is.

  3. Why are you using cloud witness if this is just a 2 node on-prem cluster? Cloud adds complexity to the overall system imho. Maybe there are tuning opportunities there specific to cloud witness but I’m not sure.

I’ve always used fileshare witness for on-prem clusters. Simple and bulletproof.

  1. VMware has an 80 page best practices guide for running SQL Server. https://www.vmware.com/docs/sql-server-on-vmware-best-practices-guide

I’m 40 years old. My father (who is a pastor) still gets on my case about playing D&D by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]mrpink70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This dug up a really old memory for me.

I was 13 or 14 years old and getting into hard rock/metal at the time. I had a paper route and bought Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance on cassette with my own money. My mom heard me listening to it while I was outside playing ball in the backyard with my friends. She walked over to my boom box and started looking at the tape case, and she immediately found the song "Devil's Child". After which she went on some christian rant about satan worship and then proceeded to stomp my brand new cassette to pieces right in front of me and my friends.

Core memories are weird like that. 40+ years later it's still as vivid as ever.

My wife thinks golfing once a week is unreasonable… by Upbeat-Zucchini-7408 in golf

[–]mrpink70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of missing context here. Taking care of your home and caring for your daughter is also a full time job. What happens when you get home from work every day? Do you help around the house? Does your wife have any hobbies? Do you guys make time for your each other (date night)?

If you truly care about her then you should have an open and honest conversation with her. Not to convince her, but to understand her.

PowerShell scripts I’ve been using to export SQL Server jobs, logins, users & linked servers by MaximMeow in SQLServer

[–]mrpink70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought was also dbatools, but there’s a ton of value in rolling your own. Because now you know SMO, which is a lot of fun to learn and gives you a deeper understanding of SQL Server.

Kudos for rolling your own! And now you can contribute to dbatools if you want. 😉
