This is the cycle my life has become: Wake up -> Turn on device -> Check CR -> Check email -> Check twitter -> Play games -> Develop -> Go back to checking CR

@EthanBierlein Alternative cycle of life:

Wake up -> Check if there is a Steam Sale -> Nope -> Go to bed -> Wake up -> Check if there is a Steam Sale -> Yes! -> Buy Game -> Play Game -> Get bored of game -> Go to bed

Hmm, now I see problems with my recursive cycle. It means that I never go to sleep.

Uh-oh.

Wake up -> check email -> check FB -> check Twitter -> edit posts -> eat -> some other stuff -> go to bed

nice naruto answer, possibly because OP didn't have enough rep to upvote:

A lot of what you are doing is repeated code so you should DRY it out. For instance, widthPerc is the same code except for the values of widthTop and widthBottom. We can also simply all of our checks by setting them up as vars. So that could be re-written like this: var isFirstTwo = !!( i < 3 ...

@QPaysTaxes are you talking about the way that @Phrancis has his Select block set up?

it makes it easier to comment out while you are trying to get your select right

@QPaysTaxes you don't write many queries, do you?

@QPaysTaxes it-depends

~~@Malachi~~ @Lyle'sMug convinced me that putting the comma before makes it easier to not forget one, and also easier to single-line-comment out a field

it helps a lot to do it the way that @Phrancis has it written

@QPaysTaxes SQL people tend to do that for some reason. I think it looks terrible.

I do something similar with my where statements as well

SQL is not about being pretty, mind you

I put the conjunctions before condition on the line as well

It's about being accurate with large data sets, and do it very fast
