24 down, 24 to go.

12 minutes in the books.

Love the #Celtics, but the refs just blew a tripping call on Derrick White. Mike Brown complains for pointing out the obvious and gets a technical foul. One of the Sacramento players also got a technical foul for complaining.

I don't know the answer here, but the #NBA needs a solution for this age-old problem.

IDK, maybe this one is a little better? /shrug

I stopped down from f5 to f5.6. The stars and the nighttime sky look better, but the houses are less distinct and look worse IMO.

This was one of the better shots. It's not as apparent that there is a pond, but I liked the reflection nonetheless.

It was challenging to get an appropriate exposure for both the houses and the sky. I felt like I had to make a sacrifice with one or the other.

The palm tree bits in the upper right greatly improved the framing/composition.

If the moon could've been in there towards the upper left... <chef's kiss>

#Photography

In the aftermath of hurricane Ian in Central Florida, I was without power for about 4 days. I took advantage of the darker than normal conditions to try some nighttime #photography. Results were mostly below average, but I gained some experience.

Here, a long exposure was used. It almost looks like daytime. But the stars give it away. And maybe the couple of lit up windows too. (Home generator use most likely.)

Yeah, there's no snow to shovel here in Florida. But I did spend about an hour cleaning up debris from the last tropical storm.

The Vikings #Sköl cheer is pretty cool.

Periodic reminder: no one understands anything about #GenerationX.

The docs say a Public Landing Page (PLP) is a CoSo Pro feature. But it's not mentioned on my profile page (and the checkbox/option is not disabled for me).
Is PLP going to be included for standard members?
#CoSoHelp

In back-to-back games, the Chicago Bulls knocked off the #Celtics and Bucks.
Impressive.

Final from #Boston. Dallas briefly made it interesting in the 4th quarter, but the #Celtics hold on for a comfortable win.

Oh, look. Luka is complaining to the refs. I'm shocked! 🙄

End of the 3rd. Let's close this one out. ☘

Watching Steve Martin lose it when spot V-5 in the parking lot is empty.

Hey #SQLFamily. I'd say the momentum for our community has clearly shifted to Mastodon. I'm now following more folks there than here. In just the last week, so many new users arrived, I'm seeing more engagement there now.

If you haven't created an account, it's worth a look.

I'm finding Polybase to be even more finicky than OPENROWSET, which is challenging enough.

I'm about to give up. Where Polybase has failed me, I've found success with #R and sp_execute_external_script. It has its own challenges, but the R packages are much more forgiving.
