Old Soviet joke:
Brezhnev: The USSR has the world’s most perfect democracy.
Reagan: What? On what basis?
B: God said so!
R: No! Where did he say that?
B: Did you not read in Genesis, God created Eve then told Adam “Choose for yourself a wife” 😂
Except the popes in Avignon sponsored incredible art and some of the most innovative choral music: harmonies that leant of false relations sending a shiver down your spine. When Mar-a-Lago sponsors innovative art as opposed to their fascist monstrosities of arches and ballrooms, I’ll agree with you.
The final episode of The Undeclared War about Russian espionage showed a screenful of what GCHQ thought was garbage to fool anti malware. It took me 1 second to say oh that base 64 encoding. Two minutes later the GCHQ expert says base 64 encoding 😂 instantly recognisable as how we print rowids.
Only in America would you need to specify that the beer tastes like beer 🥴
Ye jest, but with the way AI is mopping up all RAM supplies and Samsung phones can no longer buy memory from their own Samsung memory, those days may come again.
👨🦳😉 You can’t easily put the controls on the cup because of liquids so the temp adjustment is via Bluetooth. Steph gave it to me for Xmas because she’d seen me microwave the same mug of tea four times more than once 😂
Do you want some coffee?
Just a minute, I’m upgrading the firmware in my coffee mug 😂
Yes this conversation happened yesterday ☕️
🙈
Seriously, who paints their Z4 in camo?
I think someone stole my number plate 😉
It’s odd, but we don’t typically use the term SARGable in Oracle - it’s an IBM term from the late 70’s. ‘Tis useful though.
? Ho does Daarth Tangerine affect UK prices?
It’s more scary with an ampersand

I saw this once when someone tried to delete the Prime Information &SPOOL& dir and mistyped the escape character. It died silently halfway through /bin 😈
Because marzipan to me smells like cyanide so I’ve never been able to eat it
Good question - sadly, I can’t find a more recent one for sale
😉
Not weighted, connecting rods I think
University of Puebla - amazing place which was started by a catholic bishop who believed in making information available to the public by donating his 5,000 books in 1646 including 9 incunabulae
The original Windows UI circa late 16th century. Keep multiple books open at different pages and rapidly flick between them when studying.
Yeah, we lose 70 mins daylight in Sep far more than any other month
I learnt today that tacos were invented by the Lebanese when they came to Puebla and wanted to reinvent Schwarma
Those kinds of lazy, clickbait headlines annoy me and I refuse to click on them
<<groan>>
I’d love a param to ban inserts that don’t name the columns. As long as all inserts name them, you can reorder columns for performance but that’s lost with unnamed inserts. eg needed when you add a new frequently used column at the end of a wide table
I identify as an advert for high-end Armagnac 🍸🧐
I think my golden doodle is a vampire. He goes out the dog door without a second thought, but won’t come back in through it unless you invite him in 🐶🧛
I rewatched The Gorge in AppleTV tonight - despite the plot having more holes than a road in New Jersey, the movie works because of the powerful chemistry between the lovely #AnyaTaylor-Joy and Miles Teller. It should be up for an Oscar
I watched fantasy-comic-horror movie #DeathofaUnicorn tonight. I always enjoy seeing #JenaOrtega on the screen and the entire movie is well cast (Tea Leoni Well, the horn does have a lot of girth 😉)
