If you had a pair of PostgreSQL databases - one active, one hot standby - what would you use to load balance them?

Having tarot cards mock you- is like having painted walls laugh at you.

"If you would know a mystic, do not confine your search to monasteries and temples, but look also on the highways and byways, in towns, hamlets, and in the hustle and bustle of the great cosmopolitan centers of the world. When you find someone who is industrious, studious, compassionate, loved by friends, and neighbors, tolerant in religious views, and who can point out to you the magnificence and efficacy of God in the simplest of things, you have found a mystic. With these qualities, whether one is attired in sacerdotal robe or in the overalls of a mechanic, one is none the less a mystic." Ralph M. Lewis

If you don't keep a journal, don't pretend to have a meaningful life story. That's only reserved for people who document it, and for those whose actions speak beyond words.

Write it down but still feel meaningless? Congrats, your life provides insight for others.
Condolences for your plight, but sharing your perspective will help others after the fact.

Fun fact, if anyone wanted to read my journal or any of my personal notes, they'd have to be able to read cursive.

Writing in cursive requires more energy and adds more thought into what is put down. That's what I had been taught anyhow.

Fortunately, none of my work notes or technical scriptures are in cursive.

You're welcome script kiddies.

It near instantly wipes and shuts down.

After a week of driving in Spain, I've just driven in the UK again, and I'm shocked. British roads right now are about the worst I've ever experienced. The potholes and general disrepair are completely unacceptable.

I suppose your elevator experience is subjective and tentative at best. Personally, I've broken out with conversations with random strangers before with no problems. Though, I'm well aware that many subcultures and groups in other areas are accustomed to 'keep to themselves'. That being said, the individual you mentioned probably isn't used to talking to strangers whom they're not affiliated with in any remote way.

Proof that multiple cultures can exist within a single society.

Those who speak loudly, want to be heard. Those who merely speak directly, expect to be heard. How you voice yourself shows your confidence and strength of character- not just charismatic, but intellectual and otherwise personal.

One who speaks, wishes to talk.
One who shouts, will not listen.
Those who do not speak, are often listening.

And curses are linguistic hexes upon one's elocution.

He who swears, doth not care.

He who cares, will grow a pair.

Remember, to understand what loneliness means is to have understood what it means to not be alone. Having lost the comfort of another, means being a leader for those who also to find their way back. Alone for the moment, but comforted later.
