I'm not sure where this ends, but, once you start taking water which might fall someplace else it seems it might end badly....
One thing I've always liked about MySQL is that it pretty much looks after itself, whereas with Postgres I've had issues before doing upgrades (this was with brew though) and I'm not clear on whether it looks after itself for vacuuming etc.
Should I just give it a go the next time I'm upgrading? It does seem like a tool I need to get familiar with.
Love the cargo bike
Once you've finished seeing the book, you head upstairs through the Long Room, and that place is just special (they used it as the hall of the jedi)
As a student there you could visit for free. I used to just go up and hang in the library for 10 mins or so a few times a year. Loved it.

We used a doodle.com poll with a set of months and just let people say which one(s) they could do.
Best of luck!
Then maybe 4 years ago I had the idea of threatening to shut the meetup down unless we managed to get 11 people to sign up to do a presentation once a year. This basically meant we had an entire year's worth of talks sorted by January.
We've been doing this every year now for the last 4 years, and it's working really well. It's not _my_ ruby meetup, it's the community meetup, I'm just helping facilitate it :)
Do you have a link or guide to help me understand how to set this up. It seems like a great idea!
There were definitely people in my uni course who got worse grades, but who had a better understanding of the material.
I have a daughter, and it is just crazy once you start reading books how much is needlessly male focussed.
From the first farmyard books where the boy is driving the tractor and the girl is in the cart on the back. To fantastic Mr fox and his four small foxes (all male) etc etc. It's just extremely unbalanced.
In our community, there's every reason not to use a male default everywhere. It would not have changed the original commenters meaning at all to have said "they" instead of "him" and would have been more inclusive. Surely that's a good default?
It did take about 4 months to get the money, but, Singapore air were very good (well, they didn't deny anything at least).
Hurrah for European legislation, and hurrah for Frankfurt airport not letting take offs after 11pm so that even if they could have fixed the fault in time it would have been too late :)
One day our daughter had some small bites on her arms, and then we found small creatures in her bed... my brain went straight to "*k we have bedbugs, burn the house down and start again, but fortunately* my friend is an entomologist and his partner was visiting and she took one back for him to look at.
The answer came back that it was a definitely a carpet beetle and not to worry (simpler to get rid of, which we did).
I recommend having a friend who's an entomologist. Definite life hack ;)
I'm also curious how many personal changes you've made (flying less, vegetarian) when it seems like we need massive government intervention to move the needle.
Thanks for replying!
A while back I got tested for sleep apnea, had a 6 or a 7 on the scale (mild). I tried the CPAP machine for 6 weeks (inside the time I could return it). My number went down to 1 or something, but, I didn't feel any different, so I gave it up (this was about a year ago, maybe a bit longer).
I decided to try get to the bottom of my tiredness again and was recently at my doctors. He said it would take 3 to 6 months of using the CPAP machine before you'd know whether it would make a difference! I'm trying some other things first (giving up alcohol for 6 months as of yesterday!), taking nasal sprays and a device to stop me snoring.. Really hope something works out as it's just so annoying!
I'm very jealous in a way that the author found out the root cause of their issue. Well done keeping at it! For anyone who has successfully used CPAP, did it really take 3-6 months before you found it made a difference?
