What the heck is actually going on in that first photo? I assume he’s not about to be concussed.

www.winespectator.com/…/is-wine-gluten-free Cool! Glad to be wrong. I thought there was something about gluten in wine, but i think i was conflating it and vegan wine. Thanks for the catch!

It’s on everything from how to help your career (mentoring, presenting , etc), to learning tips for Azure to solving problems to using advanced feature. Mine were on WMI collection for SQL Server servers (and how to tweak power settings, etc) and Event Notifications to get all code changes, errors, etc. I have seen presentations on R, Python, MySQL, but also seminars on Service Broker, AWS, index tuning, and running MSSQL in Kubernetes or on Linux.

Are you kidding me? Why did the performance on this query start sucking this morning. Was it statistics? Plan recompilation? Plan sniffing? Bad plan? Somebody else running queries on the same spindles? Oh, it’s certainly magic.

SQL Server. Dozens of free events a year, one in most major cities, 20-40 Sessions/Presenters, token payment that covers lunch (and ensures attendance).
The main event (PASS Summit) is held yearly, has 150 to 200 presentations/presenters, and presenters admission is free. It’s a community event and it’s freaking fantastic.
- Comment on just one more signup bro, on god 2 months ago:
Heck, the events I present at are a freaking fantastic time - so much so that the hardest part is getting in to present.

- Comment on Sam Raimi’s Darkman gets new Scream Factory release with deleted scenes and Josh Ruben fan commentary 4 months ago:
I’ll be honest, I haven’t re-watched it but once in the late 90s, but i remember it being fantastic for what it was. It’s a low-stakes superhero movie where his power was “perfect disguise” for a few minutes, and he wants revenge. It was a fun ride.

That’s exactly it. Good eye! ;)
- Comment on Anon texts a friend 4 months ago:
Sounds like John Mulaney’s drug dealer.
‘…counselor, who told him to delete and block his drug dealer. “It’s called ‘breaking up with your drug dealer.’ I texted my main dealer, Arvin — I shouldn’t have said his name, but that’s OK, you don’t know him.”
“I said, ‘Hey, I’m deleting and blocking you. I’m sober now, I’m never gonna buy drugs again,’” John said. “But I’m really polite, so I didn’t know how to end the text, so I said, ‘But thank you, for all the nights that became days and your inspired professionalism.’”
“Before I can delete and block him, he texts me back and goes, ‘Hey, I’m so proud of you. I’m so happy that you got sober. You know, I only bought drugs to sell to you, because I was worried about you, and I didn’t want you to get worse stuff off the streets.’”
John then made a face like, “AW!” and said, “I know, and I’m breaking up with this guy?! So, I text him back, and go, ‘You sweet man. You only bought drugs to sell to me? Did you sell drugs to other people?’”
“He said, ‘No, I’m a painter. We talked about this.’ Ladies and gentleman, I have no idea how I know this person. So I texted him, ‘How did it come to be — that you sold me drugs?’” Arvin wrote back that he didn’t know either, but John just kept asking.’

Interesting! Knew about Pizza Hut, somewhat surprised on Little Caesar’s.

Why does it have to be frozen? (1) fridge trucks are a thing , but (2) making pizza dough isn’t a huge deal. Heck, Cici’s make theirs fresh in-store, and that’s CICIs

Yeah, only reason I saw this is because I’ve read all newer posts and am slowly going into history. But you got your interaction way later! :)

- Comment on Was it possible to get locked in a telephone booth? 8 months ago:
So, yes you could get locked in. The tracks the door were on were not great, and so you could get locked in. No notable incidents that I remember. There was also a funny bit in Superman 2/3 where he runs up to a phone booth and… it’s one of the top-only ones. Wasn’t there a movie called “Phone Booth” with Colin Farrell in it where he couldn’t leave?
