Yeah, I appreciate that many of the approaches to verifying age are scary from a privacy POV (photos/official docs/etc.), but I do appreciate the effort to prevent young people from being sucked into a dark place.

Brave to play without a keeper, but when you haven’t faced a shot on target in 2 games I guess you can flex a bit

Apparently it is a rule in the PL that a player can’t use a towel to dry the ball. No idea why, but I read about it before the game

I guess it might also be possible to just make it into a project variable? And then pass the SHA/PR value in your deploy task?

Can record in either a table (for a complete history/lineage) or just to an extended property (for latest/current version).
We’ve done something vaguely similar for a different purpose, so I can help if I haven’t explained it well enough.

It may be a little bit tricky, but if you have a script in your database project which then builds as part of your build pipeline, and you can modify that script to have the SHA/PR included in a subsequent step, then just have it executed in the post-deploy step of the dacpac

How do you determine the version number of the deployment?
You could always create an extended property that stores the version number, and auto updates/increments as part of the post deployment script in the dacpac?

In fact, I don’t think there’s any way to do it other than field parameters. You’d need 2 identical field parameters defined, and then a measure that uses the 2 selected

Then you can just use field parameters. Shout if you want some help

I think that it’s a lot harder than the average game show, and there is less chit chat. Lots of quite hard questions, quickly. That’s certainly the appeal for me.

That’s really interesting. I’ve wondered if a ring is worth it, but this starts to make me want one. Particularly useful for my wife, who works in a hospital.
