  • We can't get too excited. We don't yet know how they'll testify. These sentences are far too lenient as well. Misdemeanors for Sidney?? A single felony for Chesebro? No jail time for either? ?That's bullshit for someone committing treason against the US and trying to overturn an election.

  • When you file a claim, always switch insurance before the claim is satisfied. This way it's not in the system for the new company to see. Old company still has to resolve the claim based on you having coverage with them on the date of the incident, and new company may very well never notice the filed claim after the fact.

    Play their system against them as best you can

  • Not everyone is the same. We aren't all motivated by the same things, we weren't all raised the same way, we weren't all damaged by the same things and we don't all think the same.

    When you assume everyone thinks the same way as you, you'll misjudge a lot of people.

  • I don't think its undeserved at all. When it comes to fatal dog attacks, pit bulls are responsible for more than all the other breeds combined by a substantial margin. https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2018/09/13/americas-most-dangerous-dog-breeds-infographic/

    I've never known a pit bull that wasn't sweet but that doesn't dismiss the fact that a breed that was bred for violence can be dangerous. Many dogs may bite when upset or feel threatened. Pit bulls are known for continuing the attack in a frenzy and thus have a disproportionate number of deaths associated with them.

  • It's not an eye-for-an-eye because we shouldn't consider targetting civilians an option. If you want to call militias that target civilians terrorists, be consistent regardless of what uniform they are wearing.

  • Can prevent a restore, whereas doing the update with auto commit guarantees a restore on (mostly) every error you make

    Exactly. Restores often result in system downtime and may take hours and involve lots of people. The backup might not have the latest data either, and restoring to a single table you screwed up may not be feasible or come with risk of inconsistent data being loaded. Even if you just created the backup before your statement, what about the transaction coming in while you're working and after you realize your error? Can you restore without impacting those?

    You want to avoid all of that if possible. If you're mucking with data that you'll have to restore if you mess up, production or not, you should be working with an open transaction. As you said... if you see an unexpected number of rows updated, easy to rollback. And you can run queries after you've modified the data to confirm your table contains data as you expect now. Something surprising... rollback and re-think what you're doing. Better to never touch a backup and not shoot yourself in the foot and your data in the face all due to a stupid, easily preventable mistake.

  • The Atlantic often does long, in-depth stories and has proven to be a very reliable source. Their journalists have proven themselves in getting some great sources. Just in the last couple of weeks admissions by John Kelley and Gen Milley have proven stories The Atlantic broke 2 years ago with anonymous sources were accurate and credible.

  • My only problem with it is we may very well get someone worse than McCarthy. You say well said bad guy won't get enough votes. If we don't have another speaker before the next threat of a government shutdown, there's no telling how desperate things might get to avoid credit downgrading and you might get less-crazy Republicans and even Democrats willing to vote someone in that they wouldn't otherwise agree to.

    This is a dangerous game to participate in, even if the Republicans deserve every bit of blame.
