I am both the leaf, and the fruit flies who copulate on it.

Smithereens you say!? Tell me more.

I love blowing my Fagott.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I sure am convinced.

The vegans an angry, toxic bunch lol

They're so small and adorable aren't they?

Aww shit. Thanks lol.

Of course it was the vegans.

I hate Walz Vance and love that he got boo'd. That said, I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal of him calling them "haters". That's literally what that word means. I'm a Walz Vance hater. Many of you are haters. It's a description not a slur.

Edit: Yeah I fucked this one up royally, didn't I lol? Sorry folks.

It really is such a perfect juxtaposition of toxic vs. healthy masculinity.

Like, I know it really happened. I believe that. But damn if there isn't a voice in a small corner of my mind that won't stop whispering "he faked the whole thing".

You're a moron and I'm sorry for your failed upbringing.

This looks like my ex. I'm not even tryna be mean, it just does.

Hard disagree. But that's okay, we're allowed to like different kinds of games. Yours isn't any more objective than mine though. If you don't like that kind of thing, just don't play those kinds of games. It's not a threat to you if others enjoy them.

Yeah this is a reach. He's a big enough turd we really don't need to stretch this much.

What a weird little man.

That headline is a wild ride

Why would someone go about building ruins? Wouldn't you want an actual building with walls and a roof?

Yeah, I guess it's a less-used analytic function (function? I think that's the right term here).

I believe this will only accept DENSE_RANK as the ranking part of this method, which makes sense cause you want a distinct list of ranks to identify the last one. You are right though that it's possible for the record returned by the MAX() to be arbitrary if there are duplicate values in the ORDER BY field. Luckily you can usually handle for that by using multiple fields in the ORDER BY. The conditions in the query that the function operates on top of also play a roll. You can also include a PARTITION BY, but I've only needed to use that a time or two.

I think one reason I like this more is it's more readable to me. For a lot of the other analytic functions you end up using partitions and additional keywords like "ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED AND ....etc." in order to break out results the way you need. With this dense_rank method I typically accomplish that using regular 'ole WHERE conditions. Of course that's gonna be pretty subjective.

Replying on in my phone now so limited in how detailed I can be. I can give better examples later if that doesn't make sense.

Edit: I think it is an Oracle thing. Analytics are one of the areas I will unapologetically use DB-specific functions. Portability be damned! Generally they've been tuned very specifically to solve a problem with the specific engine in mind. Of course that won't always be true, but that's my general thought process.

And my vote in Oklahoma.....oh fuck it who are we kidding lol. Meaningless. I still do it though.

You sure are on a tear, aren't ya little guy?

Ok but like, there was a little sip and flirt on the way wasn't there? ;)

I kid. Keep on keeping on.

That was actually an interesting read. First one from a game journalist in a while lol. Crazy how much energy they spent on just one, rather small character.

For when you want to watch someone go fuck themselves...

Because not everyone has had the experiences and education we have. Perhaps we should take the opportunity to educate rather than to shame.

Burn the witch!

Fake news! Everyone knows it has to be MUCH colder than that to freeze. Not buying your snake oil sir. Good day!

No "/s" necessary. That notation is for lazy writing. If the OP was being sarcastic, it was poorly communicated and deserves the condemnation. Sarcasm's risky. Do it well and it's hilarious. Do it poorly and get flamed. That's the gamble.

What do you envision "high quality human contact" to be?

Lol. I'll wear that tin foil hat with you.

I feel ya. I've always been a PC guy, and either patiently wait for ports or just don't play games if they never do. Bloodeborne is the only one I can remember really feeling like I'm missing out. Although Imma need them to hurry up on God of War lol.

I can't fathom what these companies gain from this. Does anyone really buy a console just to play an exclusive game?

Elden Ring. I decided to go into the DLC with a new character and getting him setup so he's ready to jump in. Gathering smithing stones and other mats, killing Radahn and Mohg, and getting some weapons whenever I finally decide what build I want to start with. Put a couple hours in so far and really enjoying it.

Some are those that work forces...

Woooooo!

This is clearly a joke.

Rofl, sensitive one huh? Dinner didn't look enough like a hotdog tonight?

Apparently this is just what you're like. Have fun with it I guess. Blocking your shitty-take profile.

Shit, we forgot to call EMS didn't we?

Felt fine to me ;)

Knew it! I love that electrician and his story telling.
