Hillary truly won the election. Why? Because Donald Trump is her president, too. That makes her a winner. She was really in a win-win position. If she won the vote, she got to be president. If she lost, Donald Trump would be her president. Sounds like she couldn’t lose.
Perhaps a bit off topic for this site, but maybe it will help someone who was stuck like I was. My laptop is an Asus Q301L (Sonic Master). Occasionally, when disconnecting the wireless keyboard, my "fn" key is stuck on, so the zero key becomes a forward slash, and other...
I hate politics. The 2016 election has been the most captivating election I have ever seen and now it just makes me ill. While Hillary lost by leaps and bounds in the tally that matters (electoral college), she wants to claim that Russians made it happen. So she didn’t lose...
Hypocrisy or just political sport? That is the question. Hillary proposes a bill to make flag burning illegal and everyone is fine with it. As soon as Donald Trump suggests the same thing, everyone loses their mind! Why do we always see this? When the democrats propose something, the republicans...
Having varying experiences with nootropics, I have landed on Piracetam as my choice nootropic. It is likely that everyone’s chemistry is different and what works for you may send me crashing and burning like NASA’s Cassini when it runs out of gas. In my junkyard of failed trials you’ll find...

Well, now they want to crash land onto Saturn, which only makes sense since the “spacecraft” is running...
When a High Availability (HA) environment failed over, on the node that became Secondary, the backup jobs did not gracefully handle the change. The Maintenance Plans are supposed to intelligently determine whether each database is Primary or Secondary in an HA environment, and skip the backup if it is not...
Here is a situation I just came across (boiled down and simplified). An end user was having to manually find a user id, navigate to an image folder, and then search through hundreds of images to find the one corresponding with that user. Sure, they were in numerical order, but still,...
This is perhaps my most commonly used query when troubleshooting. From SQL Server DMV’s in action ebook. The output shows the spid (process identifier), the ecid (this is similar to a thread within the same spid and is useful for identifying queries running in parallel), the database name, the user...
