Not always, it was an octothorpe before phones

Woo! Got a 100!

Very accurate. But don’t worry, there are worse places along the way!

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

• Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
• You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven’t had too much issue searching for things though.
• Since they don’t read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn’t a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn’t enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn’t a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it’s easy to make aliases, though it often doesn’t know to fill in, doesn’t do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I’m sticking with them. I don’t really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it’s not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

I recently was talking with someone in south America about things in the US, most of which they hated, then when I got to “yeah, a lot of people sell plasma to help get through school” they were like “WTF! I hate your country! Here we do it as a donation! And you do it to help get through school!?” 😂

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

I was curious, here’s the driving route on GMaps

huh, there’s a whole instance just for the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime/manga

You know, it might not be a bad idea, because once regular people realize agriculture is exempt from minimum pay laws and OSHA, they might demand change

Renewable biomass: burning forests before you turn them to coal

One thing to know about transactions is that they track data and then write it. It’s not the opening that slows it down. I have a question though, what is your source data? Do you have a big CSV for something? Can you do a db to db transfer instead? There’s another tool called the BCP utility.

Edit: SQL server/ssms have tools for doing migrations and batch imports

I’ve done a lot of work and no, that is not normal.

A few things: First - SQL server has tools for migrating data that’s pretty fast. SQL bulk copy can use some of these. Check to see if the built in db tools are better for this.

SQL bulk copy can handle way more than 15,000 records

Why are you wrapping a data dump in a transaction? That will slow things down for sure.

You generally shouldn’t be doing huge queries like that to where you’re nearing the parameter limit.

Can you share the code?

It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn’t healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, “we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them”.

The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.

and also in the article

… I just did that. Literally opening as I got the notification 😭

Open lemmy. See this. Close lemmy.

No, as an American, you are only permitted to talk about events within the boarder of the land that you are in. For this reason, Americans are recommended to get summaries of recent events in any country they plan an extended stay in. Failure to comply can result in imprisonment, or event death.

Think woodlice 6 feet long, spiders the size of dogs, millipedes as big as cars, and dragonflies as big as eagles.

No, I don’t think I will
