Pretty sure the filtering will also take a while. Big problem in the query is th CPU and I/O cost being mental. We have this practice of just making tables and never pruning them. The table in question is holding data I'm not sure anyone cares about past 6 months, much less 3 years.

Proved myself a master of SQL optimization by realizing joining on a table of 1 billion rows isn't smart in SQL Server. Always a good sign when my SSMS crashes running a select count(1) on a table.

3 expansions announced at BlizzCon this year, going to have an improved cadence so I guess that's WoW set until 2030.

"Israel has a right to defend itself" is becoming a mantra.

Given how unattached I am to my cell phone, landline is more convenient as I'll leave the phone in a room upstairs and miss calls if they do occur. Land lines used to have the advantage of working through local blackouts but that's gone since we've moved to VOIP.

That'll come after the advanced technology. Although did see some Slava Ukraini types online demanding nukes for Ukraine. Not sure they thought that through.

Danger 5 is an interesting show, not sure how I came across it on Youtube.

Once the Chronosphere is ready, we will win

Sign of times when crazy dude on the corner wasn't preaching but was screaming unit phrases from Starcraft.

I dunno, I think being a white collar worker is a lot scarier to kids than a devil. Well or it should be.

Zaluzhnyi on what Ukraine needs - https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2023/11/01/the-commander-in-chief-of-ukraines-armed-forces-on-what-he-needs-to-beat-russia Just seems like "everything" to be honest - drones, artillery, mine clearing equipment and reserves.

Thankfully no kids passed by, we used to get some real dumb ones that didn't understand a shut gat and exterior lights off meant we weren't participating.

"and the relevant authorities must find out which people in President Zelenskyy's inner circle do not believe Ukraine will win the war." Better responses from people on Twitter, I found, the author of the article is Russian and therefore is inherently evil. Western armed briagdes back into the fray in Avdiivka I guess.

Will be some interesting, if not amusing, UNSC meetings if they do that.

The people that died probably cheered on Hamas, so no biggie.

Maybe Israel did learn from Ukraine's marketing, some dude on MSNBC saying that if Hamas isn't stopped they'll come for the rest of us. Really not buying that, but have to admire the attempt

https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/ More interesting, seems a bit too gloomy though.

Interesting attitude to civilians getting killed with your first point there. Given Israeli conscription, that could cut the other way in a real nasty way. Also does ignore the time passed due to election and the ages of people involved. Not even sure the relevance of your second point, but seems to be reflexive response these days. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/30/canada-clarifies-its-stand-on-a-humanitarian-truce-00124372 Interesting balancing act with domestic politics here, well and I guess in other countries

The evidence that was a suicide bomber (or VBIED if I want to be some jargon wanker) people come up with is interesting, if just for the idea of trying to. The camera crew already filming, or the fact that the car has gas means they must be Hamas as no one else has fuel, or some secondary explosion I still can't quite see. Sucks to not be 'relatively civilized', I guess.

Not the worst cover. Starr's can't be beaten in my mind, though

https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-war-malta-peace-talks-2916b90abed193fc6a6bcd7fc84aae1a Sounds like some diplomats wanted a trip to Malta.

That UK assessment seems like they just wrote something as they had to. She's interesting to follow on this, even if has Twitter snark as is required too often.

For sure, just found the presentation a bit silly. Not as silly as the guy bringing a rock to a UN meeting and acting like it was a WMD.
