This One's For The Introverts

Yes hello I'm here for my ethanol appointment, please bring me one glass of intoxication juice now.

And then precisely seven and one half minutes after, you’re gonna bring me one more.

Then one more after that every five minutes until I pass the fuck out.

One of my bucket list things is to try a food item, listen to an album and read a book from every country in the world. Any recommendations?

Yeah I did a similar thing - cooking a dish from every country in the world. Think I got to 30 countries or something and then I got distracted with other projects. Also struggled because the list I made had some nations without inhabitants.

Anyways! For Denmark, I'd recommend

  • "Ris A La mande" which has that name to sound French, but has nothing to do with France
  • Tina Dickow - count to ten (listened to this a lot back in high school and learned to play some of the tracks on piano)
  • as for books, I'm not sure.

Trust us bro

As a person working in a field close to data engineering this sounds like they're actually honest about the process.

Tldr: it's not possible to "just delete" everything at once, even though we'd love to be able to.

There's so many layers of where information is stored, and such insane amounts of data in their data platform. so running a clean up job to delete a single persons data in oltp databases, data lakes, dwh's, backups, etc, would both be expensive and inefficient. Instead what they then do is to do it in stages: flip a flag somewhere (is_deleted = true) which lets it be removed from view initially, and then running periodic clean-up jobs.
