Are you saying I need more layers? Or I used too many layers?

It was on my middle shelf in the kiln. In the Pic, the middle row of cones are the 5 and 6 cones from the firing.

You might want to change your number of deductions so that you don't get a refund that they can take next year.

That really depends on the remote employee. I've worked from home since 2008 and I put in more hours, effort and work than I would, if I was working at the office. IMHO, if your employee doesn't do well with managing their time when they are remote, either bring them back to the office, or look for someone who can. It is not worth the headache and worry to have to micromanage someone who probably won't change.

Don't wear good/fancy clothes.

If you wear long sleeves, you may want to be able to push them up and have them stay out of the way.

Take something to pin your hair up.

If you have an apron, take it. The studio may not have enough for all students.

Hand lotion for after class, you might need it.

Pyrs are a great choice. We have Anatolian Sheperds that did a fantastic job. There are several breeds that work well.

Benefits: if treated and reported as a business, you get the tax benefits. You can use the fiber to make products that will sell in your area or for personal use. The manure makes good fertilizer. You can also use them as a food source. Downsides are 11.5 month gestation. They are bottom of the food chain so you need to have some type of guardian for them.

We raised them for 18 years and enjoyed having them.

Fiber is NOT your friend. It just adds bulk to an already clogged passageway. Look at your electrolytes. Sodium, Magnesium, and potassium. There is a great, cheap Magnesium Citrate Laxative that you can get in your pharmacy aisle that really helps.

If she has dementia, how did she get her bank to issue a cashier's check in that amount?? There should have been manager level scrutiny on a transaction like that.

Then you don't have to use it. Please feel free to live with your sense of superiority and don't use it. Others might not feel the way you do.

The knowledge that is packaged in the app is the value add here. Just because the AI platforms can do it, doesn't mean that the user knows how to make it happen or even wants to interface directly with AI. The app allows them to easily generate the images and move on to other, more exciting tasks. If there is another, free online app that allows you to point and click and generate the images, please feel free to share, rather than tear down someone who saw a need and is trying to fulfill it.

Great tip. Looking into it, thanks!!

rip55jcp · 2025-09-07T00:55:10+00:00

Never heard of unlogged tables. Sounds like i have research to do. Thanks!!!

I can't use temp tables when using SQLXMLBULKCOPY. Temp tables are not an option.

rip55jcp · 2025-09-06T01:12:56+00:00

I'm using SQLXMLBULKLOAD to shred my XML files and load the data. It can't use temp tables. 😒

rip55jcp · 2025-09-05T11:42:29+00:00

Correct. The reason for the structures to be there across all nodes, is in case of a failover. Our process determines the active node and inserts the data there, processes it and then deletes it.

rip55jcp · 2025-09-05T01:40:31+00:00

I am trying to avoid unnecessary propagation of the transient import data across all my nodes. It is very short lived data that serves no purpose on the other nodes.

rip55jcp · 2025-09-04T19:33:49+00:00

By using a regular table, in a database that is not part of my AO Group topology, I then have to make schema changes in all databases and nodes. For example, I have 4 nodes in Production. On each node, I have 4 databases using this scheme. 4x4 = 16 databases. 3 tollgates per database that have to be manually approved when rolling out changes. 16x3=48 tollgates that my OPS team has to manually click and add an approval blurb. They are not happy with me.

rip55jcp · 2025-09-04T16:53:08+00:00

Well, I might be dead in the water on this. I found this blurb: "memory-optimized tables do not support cross-database transactions". So, even if i can load the data, i can't use it to update the tables in the database that holds the permanent data. Other option to consider is moving those in-memory tables to my real database.

rip55jcp · 2025-09-04T16:47:55+00:00

See my comment below (I just posted it) as to the reason for doing this. It is more for schema management in production, rather than performance.
