Yep, tons and tons. We're heading in a positive direction in terms of having that critical mass to flip the conversation. It will just take time.

The problem is...what happens during that time?

In addition to what u/AReckoningIsComing/ said, blacks hate her too for her activities as a DA. Dethroning her will not create a race war.

Yep, you are correct. Although it didn't really become popular until SQL Server 7 (in the 97/98 timeframe, IIRC).

SQL is an acronym for Structured Query Language. It is a commonly-used querying language across numerous transactional databases, although each database has their own syntax or "flavor" of SQL. Some are more powerful or complex than others, and all are custom tuned to whatever database they support. As an example:

MS Access = Jet SQL MS SQL Server = Transact-SQL Oracle = PL/SQL and so on

I'm well aware of who Ronnie Barrett is, and the company itself that he founded. It is indeed a great company. My point however is that the government should never be in the practice of picking favorites in the world of private business. At least when it comes to picking between American companies. That's how we get situations like Solyndra.

Devil's advocate: governments should not be on record as supporting one business over another.

That said, the Barrett is one hell of a rifle.

I dunno, I have been finding big clumps of my wife's hair in the shower every day for the past ten years. And yet her overall head of hair is still perfectly fine. That's just what happens with long-haired people.

There may be an old Klingon proverb that applies to your friend's situation...

A little help here...why is this newsworthy? Is it because she might take Liz Cheney's slot as the third-ranking member of the house GOP?

VP of Technology here. Endgame-now is correct. The SQL tool that Oblakhan is referring to used to be called SQL Server Query Analyzer. SQL Server Management Studio is the admin tool. Query Analyzer can do a subset of what SSMS can do.

TOAD is very similar to Query Analyzer, but is more often used by the Oracle community.

I would guess what was found on the voting machine was not an instance of SQL Server itself. But we'll have to wait and find out.

Unfortunately buried in that Telegraph article:

"However, after experts called her comments into question she told a live question and answer session the following day that her comments on asymptomatic spread were based on small number of studies of contact tracing and cluster investigations. She added that modelling estimates suggest that up to 40 per cent of transmission was by asymptomatic carriers."

I know that some types of disease can be spread asymptomatically (Typhoid Mary comes to mind). What is it about Covid that we know for sure asymptomatic spread can't happen? I'm seeing differing opinions online related to this...although I guess that's pretty much just like everything else related to Covid over the past year. I don't trust the CDC 100% like the sheep do, but I'm hesitant to distrust everything they say either.

Excellent question. I have no idea, although if forced to guess, I'd say no. I am hearing that vaccines are much harder to come by over there right now than they are here in the US.

FWIW...I have numerous employees in India. Seventeen of them either have Covid right now, or their spouse has it, to varying degrees. One employee has been hospitalized (a 25 year old, surprisingly). The area around Mumbai has generally been the hotspot in that country over the past year, so they have taken more precautions and are better equipped to handle this now. So it isn't surprising that the hospitals are empty there. The area around New Delhi is where the current major outbreak is happening.

I'm not saying things aren't overblown by the media...of course they are. Anyone on this site knows this. And Covid is nowhere as deadly as they say it is. But it is most definitely not a "hoax".

With that said, I agree with Candace. Masks do nothing positive.
