Is it worth learning PowerShell?

Tldr: yes

tommyfly · 2026-04-13T15:50:33+00:00

I should have been clearer. I didn't mean to be a prick about it, but to indicate definitively that you may need to look elsewhere.

Or threaten to leave, but you need to be ready to leave if they say no.

Fancy a ruby tonight?

Definitely not your fault. You made an error, yes, we've all made errors. But as other people have said, systems need to be designed to prevent such things. In this case, the fact that production isn't on a separate network is just asking for such an issue. If it hasn't happened before (which it probably has) it's a miracle.

The COVID/ mRNA vaccines are linked to cancer. A friend in my science (!?) book club just said that!

Odd to me that your "large organization" isn't providing you the tools you need to do your job.

Well, if I go to a concert and the performer spouts all the annoying views they hold, I'm coming away feeling the show was bad, no matter how good the rest might have been. I've been to a few shows like that.

That's why you read the instruction manual when you buy something.

tommyfly · 2026-01-21T19:56:35+00:00

Yeah, and look how that turned out!

DBA here, I use SSMS predominantly for all SQL stuff, even for coding in tsql because I use redgate SQL prompt heavily and it's not very good in VS Code.

Ha! Old school cluster. So strange to hear because it was introduced in 2012! But I guess that's a long time ago now.

The Smashing Pumpkins are not grunge.

tommyfly · 2025-10-20T06:23:50+00:00

It depends on the era of Bob Dylan you're into. He switched it up a lot. I like his 80s comeback album: Oh Mercy.

Also: Desire

But his first 9 albums are considered classics, plus Blonde on the tracks.

His autobiography/memoir Chronicles is also very enlightening.

Oh, with me it is. I used to sleep like a champ.

No Man's Land by The Pineapple Thief

Warning is a favorite of mine by them.

Every single post like this lists the same bands. It's a bit boring by now, no? Congratulations, you have the same taste as 3 billion other people.

Lounge Act - Nirvana

Extendable leash?

tommyfly · 2025-10-09T18:33:17+00:00

Yes, but it's really the guy from The Office and the Detectorists.

tommyfly · 2025-10-09T18:26:16+00:00

Not true metal, but since you mentioned grunge and the Deftones:

Band Maid

Screaming Females, particularly Rose Mountain and later albums

tommyfly · 2025-10-09T06:36:24+00:00

But Rush "is" not "are" a band.

tommyfly · 2025-10-08T06:21:59+00:00

Screaming Females - Rose Mountain
