Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Great picture, Gail. Is that an original artwork, or something you put together from other works?

    For the current season, from Audra and the Antidote:

    We Wish You A Merry Christmas

    We Wish you a merry Christmas

    we wish you a happy Chanukah

    unless you are Muslim

    then we wish you a happy Ramadan

    unless you are Pagan

    then we wish you a happy Solstice

    we wish you a happy Solstice

    unless you are Black... or African American... or Person Of Color... whichever is least offensive.

  • Guess that should be updated to a Happy Friday as that's the day Christmas falls on this year. 😛

    Chanuka and Ramadan aren't date-coincident with Christmas, so the day of the week won't matter much. Same for the solstice. Not sure about Kwanza.

  • I'm starting to notice a trend in a few questions where people expect tables to store records in a specific order. Anyone else seeing that trend?

    (Okay, two posts don't make a trend, but it could be the start ... 😛 )

    Original, mostly. It's 3d graphics. Some of the models were purchased or free downloads, but most was my own work from scratch.

  • Very impressive, Gail. You see a lot of those types of scenes in S.A. this time of year? 😀

    Yeah, I've seen an increase in that recently. More and more people who are being rotely trained on SQL commands, but who don't take the time and effort to understand anything about relational definitions.

    Um, let me think. No.

    We don't ever get that kind of scene in JHB, any time of the year. Some parts of the Free State and the mountains, yes, around June-July.

    When living in the region - it was nice to see snow capped mountains in June-July (rare occasion). I really missed the snow and quantities of snow I was accustomed to seeing the rest of the year though.
