  • SQL enjoyer?

    Every time I use it I feels like I’m going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery…👍

    UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”

    looks up better way

    “Oh, what the fuck?!.. Nope, this will just be quicker…” UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL…

    Join in a table sharing column names… Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc… Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it’s fine…

    “When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?”

    “Okay. Yep. Easy.”

    “So why can’t you do that with expressions?”

    SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY

    “Okay, okay, okay!.. Jesus…”

    And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…

    I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so…ugh.

    I was at a trivia night and a question was, “Apart from humans, what’s the two highest populated species in the animal kingdom?”

    Now, I’m not the smartest brain inhabiting a future corpse, but I did do basics in school.

    I say to my group, “Maybe plankton? But I don’t know if there’s some technicality over that being a plant or something. If I were to guess, probably ants and then flies.” We agreed and went with that.

    NOPE!!!

    Cats and dogs apparently!!!

    This didn’t even make sense to us if considering just the mammals.

    I protested.

    The quiz master said “The question is about the animal kingdom.”

    “Well, if insects aren’t animals, what are they?”

    He dug in his heels, we weren’t getting the points. And to make things even more bizarre, most other teams said cats and/or dogs to get 1 or 2 points.

    We found a new trivia night.



  • First of all, wash your sheets if you aren’t doing it regularly. Then have a quick look around fo mould. Lastly, minimise laundry left on the floor and vacuum more if they’re carpeted. A third of our time is in our bedroom, so things can get blocked up if stuff is in the air.

    If that’s all good, okay, time to start considering the cat 🥺 The most common allergy is from their saliva on themselves from cleaning, or skin falling off from cleaning. If they’re cleaning themselves in your bed or shortly before coming into bed, that’s most likely it.













  • Yeah. Few times a week I go to mine to chat with all the locals over two or three beers then head home. It’s a nice way to wind down, be out, and socialise at a really low intensity. No organising is needed, just arrive and there’ll be someone there you know.

    That was kind of the point of pubs (public house). A place for the community to meet up in any weather and have a good time together whether games, sharing stories, or having a meal. The smaller the town, the friendlier and more tight the patrons are too. Also great places to frequent when travelling, meeting new locals, getting great travel advice, making friends for the few days you’re there.
