    I hate seeing food go to waste. My parents used to run a "food rescue" ministry distrubiting near-to-date food from Trader Joe's store to chatities in the local area. I can't wait to see how AI can help!

    Hey Everyone, I made it easier for data professionals to use ! I talked into letting add an -AutoRelocateFile parameter to the Restore-SqlDatabase cmdlet. 👍 Check out today's MSSQLTips article to see how you can use it! 😀

    Thank you to for dragging me (kicking and screaming - not really, but the learning curve is currently steep-ish and a barrier to entry... I aim to help fix that with Aaron's help) into the worlds of PowerShell for and in and :{>

    The netting also came off one of the side pockets. It was definitely a challenge to get it on the machine. My stitching job was *Harrible* but I think it will hold for a while.
