Can BigQuery be added? I'm interested to know how it compares in these sorts of scenarios. We use BQ because I do NOT want to have to deal w/management of any of the infrastructure; paying by query is convenient for our small team

The UX is absolutely horrendous. Don’t even get me started about the 4096 character limit or the fact that URLs in code blocks breaks the code block. How about not being able to sort the user list by whatever order you want or folding group

Natural gas and/or propane is the best option for my home. Solar installation + battery is just insanely expensive compared to gas (6x at a minimum) and where I live offers far less reliability.

Bureaucratic behavior within a government agency has little to nothing to do with an individual’s background, intent, or otherwise; but, instead, it has to do with the brutal constraints of their environment.
