@HannahVernon Wow! Two complete blanks for starter words - maybe you need help from an Irish scientist?

Some people are simply determined to extract every last trace of joy from life

Erik Darling

9:48 AM

It’s nice that Irish scientists took a break from trying to determine how many beers Jesus could drink

Paul White

10:16 AM

Imagine leaving a comment on one of my unrelated dba.se questions to ask me to look at a question related to an article I wrote 12 years ago, which you didn't bother to finish reading. Further imagine you chose to ask your question on Stack Overflow.

Yano_of_Queenscastle

Must be hard being a celebrity.

Paul White

hah

I really must learn to value my time less. This poor person didn't even have time to download AdventureWorks so they could run my examples directly. They did have time to mock up their own flawed test using tables only they can see, and which do not reproduce the issue for reasons I explained 12 years ago.

Of course, I'm mainly irked by the comment

Yano_of_Queenscastle

Despicable.

Paul White

I suspect trolling by some guy sat on a Tenerife beach

Yano_of_Queenscastle

Surely no one would go as far in their trolling to post comments? One has to draw line somewhere!

Paul White

10:28 AM

Only simply never knows with advanced tolls. They can b v sneaky and subtle

Naturally, I wrote a detailed answer 🙄

Then bitched and moaned about it afterward

Thanks for attending my talk etc

Zikato

You're way too nice

Yano_of_Queenscastle

It's not always easy to balance setting boundaries and being nice.
But we appreciate you being nice.

Paul White

Not really, I just can't cope with the idea of having seen an unanswered question about my article

To that extent, their strategy worked perfectly

A nice person wouldn't have constructed a special voodoo doll just for that person

But I suppose everyone does that as a coping mechanism don't they

Yano_of_Queenscastle

10:45 AM

I mean... I am not sure absolutely everyone. But I am absolutely sure someone.

Paul White

Feedback so far indicates this is Perfectly Normal Behaviour

Of course, I had to filter out some obviously wrong feedback

Misinformation is rife on the Internet

Erik Darling

11:09 AM

@PaulWhite pool. Tenerife pool.

Paul White

Was a beach before you started drinking there

Erik Darling

The sad part is the length which all of this has been discussed without a single reference link

Paul White

I'm sure naming & shaming would be bad form

Erik Darling

Yes but the transcript must be benefitted

Paul White

I'll continue with the pins & knives if it's all the same 2 u

Erik Darling

11:12 AM

Else wise it’s incomplete

And lacks normality

Paul White

The interested researcher could find recent answers from me on SO if they had the time

Perhaps u should leave a comment on an unrelated dba.se answer to request the information

I hear that's a winning strategy

Erik Darling

brb

Paul White

🤣 dont u dare 🤣

Erik Darling

😃

This is perhaps the strongest encryption I’ve encountered

Paul White

Erik is temporarily suspended due to Rules Violations

Time will be served trapped on a small sandy island

Erik Darling

11:21 AM

Confirmed

Paul White

Ah, the Palm Tree wing

Hides the guard towers quite well

Erik Darling

Supermax security

Paul White

Shark filled moat and everything

Erik Darling

Beer only comes in plastic cups by the pool

Paul White

Did u exhaust the prison champagne supply already

Erik Darling

11:25 AM

Champagne is tough to drink in quantity

Gives me a tummy ache

Paul White

Gosh ur life is beset by challenges

I suppose beer is good for rehydration

For those in a lighter weight category

Erik Darling

I’m always willing to take your advice

Paul White

It's fine for your liver to also have a holiday, I suppose

Erik Darling

I’m always willing to take your liver

Paul White

11:44 AM

I have been rewarded with another comment

Erik Darling

12:26 PM

Your Eternal Reward™️

Paul White

12:47 PM

For which I am Eternally Grateful™️

Erik Darling

1:06 PM

Are you humbled and honoured

Paul White

Thank u for the spare u

That was an honor

Zikato

4 u

Erik Darling

@PaulWhite Shocked and awed I’m sure

Paul White

It's all such a surprise

Erik Darling

1:29 PM

On the plus side I bought a pack of Benson and Hedges blues and they’ve been quite nice in the evenings

Paul White

I had no idea they were available in blue. What does that signify?

B & H were always gold. That was sort of their thing.

Erik Darling

I think blue generally indicates reduced strength

Paul White

I see

For those in a lighter weight category

Theme developing here, maybe

Has Sean been coaching you at all

Erik Darling

Paul calling me thin and pretty

What a day

Paul White

🤭

I just misread my phone's lock screen humidity display as the battery percentage and almost decided not to charge it

Erik Darling

1:40 PM

What was the humidity

Paul White

90%

But it is 1:40 am so

Zikato

2:08 PM

store.steampowered.com/app/2283880/Shoulders_of_Giants_Ultimate

Erik Darling

90!

Are you keeping vintage cigars alive

Paul White

> gunslinging space frog

@ErikDarling it also rained in the past half hour

> Simultaneously control a sword-wielding robot and a gunslinging space frog in Shoulders of Giants, an explosively colourful sci-fi roguelike. Play alone, with a friend, or as part of a four-person team, cutting through waves of enemies on a quest to rescue the galaxy from the forces of Entropy!

No point fighting Entropy

Seems like a silly game

@ErikDarling It's 55% inside rn

Phone @ 92%

Erik Darling

2:24 PM

Humidity or battery

Hannah Vernon

@Vérace I use any word that popd into my head as I'm opening wordle. Sometimes it works out, other times not so much lol.

Paul White

Most recently, I've been trying to get my final Wordle grid to tell a bit of a story, ideally a contemporary one

Erik Darling

About frogs

And entropy

Paul White

2:39 PM

"Frogs" is tricky because, although five letters long, it's a plural

I might try to start with Space Frogs tomorrow regardless

Depending on what else comes up in the meantime

Humid cigar is also a possibility

One tries to also keep half an eye on actually winning as well

Humidity 85%, Phone battery 98%

I wonder if there would be a market for me live streaming my daily Wordle on Twitch

Zikato

Probably six expert users

Paul White

Worldwide

Zikato

The ad revenue will be outta this world

Paul White

I'm playing the long game here hoping at least one of the six will become a philanthropist billionaire

With a special appreciation for endangered kiwis

A plan like that doesn't really require any sort of backup

Zikato

Good luck!

Paul White

2:48 PM

ty but I really don't see luck playing a part

Zikato

That explains a lot

Paul White

🤣

Zikato

Well, hindsight is 6/6

Paul White

👏

It may not be a perfect strategy

Vérace

3:38 PM

@ErikDarling No, no, no!!! You've got it all wrong - Irish scientists are interested in St. Patrick's beer drinking capabilities - those of Our Lord are obviously infinite! Heathen!

Mind you, St. Patrick would be a bit of a wild hoor after a few pints down the local!

Always chasin' de wimmin!

Erik Darling

4:15 PM

@PaulWhite 💯 💯💯

Also if I ever hit lotto for significant money Darling Data will become a non-profit employing the best and brightest researchers to figure out how much of their favorite drink they can drink

Peter Vandivier

4:56 PM

where do i submit my CV?

Erik Darling

5:28 PM

You’d have to find someone at Darling Data who knows what a CV is

Peter Vandivier

idk you've been pretty liberal with the extra vowels lately

Are you humbled and honoured

Erik Darling
