Both these words come from Old English. They were written as “hus” and “mus” back then, and the plurals were “hus” and “mys”. That is, the plural for “hus” was the same as singular, while the plural for “mus” changed the vowel. This difference in plurals is due to the fact that Old English was a gendered language, and while “mus” was a feminine noun (basically like we call a ship “she” today), “hus” was neuter. Nouns of different gender had different plural formation rules. Eventually English invented the new plural formation rule (by adding -s at the end of a word), but didn’t apply it to some feminine nouns like “mus”/“mouse” which retained their old plurals. Then Engli…

Below is a script that should be ran step by step and not all at once. It’ll help you understand backup methodology and the importance of knowing how to recover to a point-in-time. This is something a DBA will seldom have to do, but when the time comes, they’ll have to deliver as part of their core job responsibilities. Nothing is more fundamental to a DBA than the ability to recover to a PIT. /* Prerequisites: You should be a local administrator in Windows and a SQL Server sysadmin Purpose: The purpose of this exercise to simulate a production database's catastrophic failure and the steps a database administrator will need to take to bring production back on …

By Mike King From The History Channel. REBUTTAL BY Vlad the Bad Putin has essentially just established the pro-Russian eastern Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk as Russian protectorates -- and there's not a darn thing that the Globalists at the Council on Foreign Relations, their bullhorn buddies at "the paper of record," and their tethered NATO war dogs can do about it. It's not that the mighty US-led coalition of America and Europe hasn't the military capability to go toe-to-toe with Ru…

Is “equity” just another code word for socialism? who is paying for these displays in the malls?

Inconceivable!

https://www.dw.com/en/russia-orders-closure-of-human-rights-group-memorial/a-60273615 Prosecutors accused Memorial International, the country's oldest human rights NGO, of distorting history while investigating crimes committed under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Russia's Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the closure of Memorial International, one of the country's most prominent NGOs. The organization faced charges under the Russia's controversial NGO laws, which demands groups which are funded from abroad to clearly mark all their material as issued by "a foreign agent." https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20211228-russia-s-supreme-court-orders-…

Via @allyversprille (Bloomberg) on Twitter, waiting on full article. Edit: full article here Treasury’s letter to Senators today expressed “ancillary parties who cannot get access to information that is useful to the IRS are not intended to be captured by the reporting requirements for brokers...” Huge news for those of us concerned about the language of the US infrastructure bill passed earlier this year. Pretty common sense stuff here, but you never know when it comes to the Treasury and IRS.

Or maybe we should start calling it the "crypto bowl"? 😉

I am not an anti-vaxxer. I believe that almost all the current vaccine types intended for Covid-19 have been proven, at least in the short term, to do more good than harm for a select group of individuals who have not previously had the virus itself, and/or who have the typically identified comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, advanced age, cancer, prior respiratory issues, etc. However, because these vaccines really can produce better outcomes for some, many people apparently do not understand why there should be any limitations on its use. The NYT has finally included some dissenting opinions about the efficacy of the vaccines (without ridiculing them) in a rec…

Yesterday, the Wormhole bridge one of Solana's biggest bridges lost $320m in a hack. Within hours, a trading desk Jump Capital agreed to replenish the entire amount so that the liquidations calamity is avoided. The loss of the peg due to the hack could have sent the network into cascading liquidations arising out of leveraged positions. In stepped a VC to save the day. The fact that VCs are ready to cover these kind of losses shows that the entire Solana "ecosystem" is just one big sham propped up by these same VCs. They dont want their baby to die just yet. Apparently Jump Capital owns a significant stake in Wormhole and is ready to sink such a huge amou…
