Comment Re:False, false, flag operation (Score -1) 88

The US has bigger fish to fry than supplying its domestic population with oil. The US must dominate the Middle East because that's where the world's oil comes from. The US is responsible for the entire world's energy supply, not just for its own. This means wars, but fortunately the US has a large military and government officials in DC who are willing to make the hard decisions. Senator Lindsay Graham has just called for war with Iran and once that's been cleaned up, the Middle East will be even more dominated by the US (and Israel of course). We're in a good position here.

Comment Re: Trump's fault (Score -1) 289

When Trump did protectionism, it was bad, wrong and racist. The media told us every day he was dooming us to failure. Biden does it and it's a very important step and not racist at all. Weird, eh. It's almost as if they have a political agenda they're pushing under the guise of impartiality.

Russia didn't illegally spy on American citizens in direct defiance of laws passed by Congress telling them not to do so. None of these severe crimes were punished. Nobody is in prison. Some of them work in MSNBC now. All of them are acceptable an DC polite society. But sure, blame the man who exposed them.

It's not that they were riddled with backdoors. It's that they weren't riddled with backdoors. They were secure - to the NSA's spying. Let's not forget that We The People passed a law forbidding them to spy on us, and the NSA committed multiple serious, Republic-ending felonies by breaking this law. Nobody went to jail. The same people are still in power. China isn't the clear and present danger here.

Comment Re: Allied with John The Pedo (Score -1) 66

Podesta the Molesta isn't new. When calling out pedophiles gets people cancelled (like you just did) it's difficult to understand why Democrats don't cast these people out. Associating with known horrid people is the essence of discredited political entities. But now, simply pointing them out means you're a dangerous political radical. Remember when Joe Biden raped Tara Reade and you shrugged?

I have been using GCP/BQ heavily for 7+ years now and we're GCP native at my current company for nearly 5 years.

Google's penchant for deprecating products is a constant worry for me, particularly our insane reliance on BQ. While BQ StandardSQL is close enough, lifting and shifting to something like AWS or Azure's cloud warehouse tooling would definitely be a headache.

That said, with their deep integration w/GA4 reporting and continued development of BQ, I am guessing they make enough money (particularly after their 25% price increase for on-demand) that it'll stay around for another few years.

Fingers crossed because, honestly, I don't want to have to deal with management of our warehouse and BQ makes it easy for us not to worry about that at all.
