I’m guessing it’s external since it’s executed by sql launchpad service but can’t find documentation.

#sqlhelp Where does memory / CPU for sp_execute_external_scripts come from? Is it managed by SQL Server or OS?

Just beat Metroid Dread. First game since Halo that held my attention. I may not be a die hard gamer but I play the great ones!

Please recommend a book that a data scientist should read. Not a how-to or learning guide. Something more conceptual. Like Weapons of Math Destruction but not necessarily the same message. Thank you in advance!

I did exactly what the sign said and was denied entry. Clearly voter suppression. #VOTE #StaySafe #2020Election

I have terminal cancer. My dying wish is for everyone to vote and pray for peace, equality, kindness and respect. We are free to disagree, but we should always do it with kindness and respect. I probably won't live to see another election, so please make this one count.

My idea for the next two debates is that ONLY rhetorical questions should be asked and we as Americans can just have several moments of poignant self reflection after each.
Replying to @tarynpivots
my thought exactly as I exasperatedly cried out 'THERE ARE TWO MORE OF THESE????' as we watched with my 16yr old son who was challenged by his history teacher to watch it. ugh. what a show.

Dear Oracle. I’m rooting for you. Please, please make TikTok suck. Make it suck so badly that my teenage daughter doesn’t care for it anymore. I’ll be forever thankful if you do.
Look, I’m sure Oracle will totally understand the culture around TikTok and that there will be no complications whatsoever.

You can't fool me. That's a tunnel for Alien Preditors. It's a right of passage.
