I'm *so* tempted of going forward with this service request. Will the mighty AI figure out that we haven't bought any USB hubs from their owner, or will it send a swat team to the random location? So many questions, so little answers...

A friend of mine, aged about 4, having been told by her mum that if all she ate was sweets then she’d get a big belly, greeted a very pregnant lady on the bus with the words “I know what YOU have been doing!”
This was hard for her mum to explain on several levels.

Great news, Telia Estonia customers travelling in the UK! For a paltry 12€ per day, you will get a whopping 500MB of the networking stuff. What not to like!

Arlanda terminal 2, we meet again. This time it was traces of explosives on me, so I had a little chat with the security lady. Lucky for me, the bomb wasn't found

Want to learn a little bit about character set encodings? Session is aimed at newbies, but I think everyone will learn things. Still not convinced? There will be funny AI generated pictures of doggies! Yay! See you at #ukougdiscover25

Absolutely this by @connormcd.bsky.social . Before I started going to user groups I thought I was good at Oracle stuff. But I got so much better when I started going - not just by learning more but also having all these smart friends I could now ask about loads of stuff!
"Oh, I'll just attend the webinar"
"Maybe I will download the slides"
Neither of that will EVER reproduce the value of sharing your knowledge and experiences face to face with your community colleagues at a meetup.

Cursor AI suggested index key compression for CUSTOMER_ID, and yes, we have quite a few more than 6 customers.
And now managers are curious why we're cross-checking the suggestions developer got from our AI overlord instead of fixing the issue in prod.
