Yup, that one’s even bigger! I need to go see that one. Here’s the Mason bar cave info. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/eckert-james-river-bat-cave-preserve/

Fun fact: once a year a 100‘ x 100‘ cave in Mason Texas becomes one of the most populated bat caves (bat nursery), holding anywhere from 2 million to 7 million. In the spring, pregnant bats come to this cave for some reason (they don’t know why) and hang out here until they give birth. Once they do, they spend the next couple of months rearing their young, eventually taking them on flights, and 1-2 months after giving birth the babies are now the same size as their mom, and they all go back to whichever cave they originally came from.

the trick’s on you - it’s not open for tours at night.

 

Combo of post-rock and post-metal. Fairly upbeat. Found the previous album on R a couple of years ago and figured I’d share this - literally came out yesterday.

Dang it. Because something keeps me a couple of degrees cooler than some-wicking-fabric would be nice

What are examples of “broadband emitter “ fabrics that I can buy? The only links I can find are for this article.

Beach, but don’t like hot. You are awesome to your SO! Have fun!

It’s not just SQL, it’s frequently the OS. Corporate tools don’t support the new OS so you install the “supported” OS, which is now several years old, and which only supports the next version or two of SQL Server. Microsoft also didn’t help things with 2012R2, which was 2 years later but had the same EOL as 2012.

And yes, you can set compatibility level on the database, but there are still edge cases where the engine version matters. And the business prioritizes, but upgrades are lower on the list than money-making features.

Pity - it was a lot of fun!

Correct. They don’t pay you to code. They pay you to solve problems, which normally ARE solved by code, but they really don’t care how.

Hey now! Language!

“Fuck that noise”

Or have anybody else take photos that include you, I guess.

He looks so damn dubious. “Uh-huh. Right. “

nothing like pushy maniacs to make my day complete

 

I am looking at these two, trying to find a deal on the Pro 2022 that makes it close to the price of the 13" 2024 Air. Right now the "deals" are still in the $999 range for it, as opposed to $800 for the Air. Which sucks - seems like the 2022 is still better, but $200 is $200. I have a pro 10.5" now, but the lure of bigger has finally won out, years later. Trying to see if I'm missing anything - on paper the 2022 is still better, even if older.

Advantages of the Pro 2022:

  • FaceID, not TouchID
  • Promotion display (120hz vs the Air's 60hz)
  • can run external display

Advantages of the Air 2024:

  • Cheaper
  • Newer - supported longer?
  • ? Anything else?

Don’t know how I’ve never come across this, but this made me laugh and cry and nod appreciatively.

 

Another bouncy & tappy release by Marco.

Fantastic show, and sold out! Definitely see, and their opening tonight was Standards, also fantastic!

VINTERSORG - Fjällets mäktiga mur (Official Lyric Video) (Folk metal, Sweden 2017)

 

I specifically added the folkiest track, but the whole album is fantastic. Hidden gem!

 

Production values are high, some interesting additions to the genre. Like Slay the Spire, but with Elder Gods

 

More on the crescendo-core end of the spectrum, but really good. The symphonic bits are a delight.

 

Cross-posting this here because this is definitely “post-rock with more tapping”

I think I found this album due to The Post-Everything Collective monthly round up. Some nice happy(and tappy) instrumental math-rock to start 2024 with.
