   TBH - no one knows how to make vegetables interesting like Indian cuisine. There is a diverse pantheon of Indian cuisine outside of North Indian food - paneer, chicken tikka, and other cream-laden dishes that have come to represent Indian c

   I know several Tesla owners - and live in a place where practically every second car is a Tesla. So my sample size is significant.

    You can indulge from time to time. Based on your list I would be considered "abnormal". But I also like to socialize from time to time - and it can mean I've polished off half a bottle of wine hanging out with people I dearly

    Blue/green is new, so am guessing most folks don't know about it. It's the way for close to zero downtime upgrades. Am waiting for them to support upgrades from RDS Postgres to Aurora.

    I would just use pg_upgrade with --hardlinks for an in-place upgrade. Have done 2 TB dbs in less than a minute. We were running our own Postgres instances on-prem.

    DMS is a terrible migration tool, I spent almost a month fighting with various migration issues before I gave up. It would not migrate text and json types. Even AWS support could not offer a solution. We got in early testing AWS Blue/

    And those are corporate jobs - sector like IT which are seeing rapid growth. I would like to see stats on factory job worker wage growth. No way are they seeing 40% growth! At the same time, YOY inflation in India is pretty high https:&#x2

    Exactly - that unrelenting focus, single-minded obsession. When it's creative and productive it leads to something beautiful. But the flip side is a horror show.

    The smartest person I know who's in his 50's is now an alcoholic - made and lost a fortune. He's still worth an easy 20 million dollars, but is way too driven and edgy to just shut up and retire. I read a thin line separates
