She looks like a twin to my cat!

I really loved it and the sequel as well. They are amongst some of the best books I've read.

The use of the "Make America Great Again" motto by a fascist politician was the cherry on top for me <chef's kiss>.

No, it's a standalone utility that you can download and install separate from SQL Server. It just adds BCP.exe to your command line.

Look for the link that says "Download Microsoft Command Line Utilities 15 for SQL Server (x64)".

Try BCP. I'm fairly new to the Microsoft landscape too, but found using BCP really helped with efficiency on loading.

Do you sleep on your front? Or maybe have your face buried in a pillow all night? That was the cause for me. I covered my pillow with a fresh T-shirt every night and got clear.

The cat(s) will pick you.

I think there are a lot of manipulator accounts in Lemmy. As with any social media platform, be wary of misinformation. Sometimes it's blatant misinformation, sometimes it's more subtle with small nudges.

No thanks

American Chinese here - yes I watched a lot of Wu Kong / A Journey to the West adaptations as a kid. Both animated and live action.

He's known as a trickster in the source material even though the style in which he's presented in this new game portrays him edgier and more serious. Usually he's more akin to Hermes or Loki.

I haven't watched any trailers so don't know much about the game, but in A Journey to the West, he's tasked with protecting and escorting a Buddhist Monk on an adventure along with other ensemble characters (like a pig for instance).

On their adventures, the monk guides and teaches him about Buddhist principles like Nirvana and enlightenment and he works on becoming less monkey-like (not giving into his impulses, anger management, etc.) Much of the humor of the series stems from their contrasting personalities.

He's also known as the Monkey King. But since I'm not fluent in Chinese it was hard to grasp some of these details and what they mean to the story. They encounter many deities, demons, spirits and other such mythological beings along the way.

His main weapon is a magical staff. From what I remember, it can grow and shrink and transform. His fur is also magical as he can pluck it and perform some magic tricks with it.

It largely depends on whom you're asking. I think your average Midwest American doesn't know what it is. Or if they do, don't really care for it or like it. Lipton bagged black teas are their standard. Usually served with a lot of sugar and or lemon juice.

Arizona Tea company has a sweetened green tea that has been sold in major grocers and convenience stores for decades. It's very popular and is known for it's cherry blossom motif. I don't want to rag on them because I think they're a decent company, but it's sugar water and green tea might be loosely defined there.

Boba culture has made the younger generations aware of green tea. And they can give you a run for your money when it comes to cultural knowledge. But they would be largely clustered in urban and suburban neighborhoods.

In America, when I see a non-Asian person drinking a boba tea or even a Starbucks Matcha it warms my heart just a little.

I have an older helmet that I'm still using but would definitely get a MIPs helmet now if I were buying one. During the cold months, I just wear the same helmet with a neck gaiter. A scarf also suffices if I'm feeling European that morning.

You'll want some really warm gloves too if you're going to be riding out in the cold.
