I opened up @claudeai this morning for the first time this week, asked 1 question and was told I'd hit my limit and had to wait 5 hours to try again.

So I pasted my question into @GeminiApp and kept on working.

Claude was right...I have hit my limit.

You cannot protect your children from the world, but you can prepare them for it.

Your past isn’t chasing you.
You just keep turning around to look at it.

[Forging Fatherhood @ForgeFatherhood]

Watching that HBO or Netflix series because you "like the story" is no different than your dad getting Playboy because he "liked the articles".

It's porn, and you know it.
You're just trying to justify watching it.

False prophets do not speak against God or promote other gods in an effort to turn you away from Christianity.

False prophets dilute, omit, or distort the gospel to keep from hurting peoples feelings and to make everyone feel good about themselves instead of seeking redemption.

#sqlhelp in an Azure Hyperscale DB, is there a built in alert to notify of DB growth events? I need to know when/how often Hyperscale actually grows the DB, not the % of free space available.

Thought it might be "Data Storage Size" but that doesn't seem to have what I need.

@Fidelity has been holding my son's allowance in limbo for 4 weeks, refusing to deposit it due to increased fraud in their system, according to their customer service.

Today he asked me if we could just open him an account somewhere else. At 14 years old he's done with them.

Becoming a great father involves intentional actions, deep connection, and consistent effort.

I first saw this quote when I was a young teenager, on the back of the business card of my Boy Scouts leader.

He was one of the most well respected men I have ever known, and absolutely made a positive impact on many young men during that time.

Just heard this on a call:

"Entity Framework is like a family reunion, where it invites everyone whether they need to be there or not. Like my weird Uncle Larry that's not really my uncle but shows up anyway." #sqlserver #entityframework

I'm just going to come right out and say it, because there are confused people in this world that need clarity.

BBQ is something that you eat. It is not something that you do, or an event that you go to. It is a food. Any other use of the word is wrong.

TIL today:

Adding a new teen driver to your insurance will practically double your rates, and @progressive does not offer any discounts for completing a certified driver training course.

Time to do some insurance shopping.
