Tackling SQL Server Database Restore Challenges

Introduction: Have you ever tried to restore a SQL Server database from disk using the WITH REPLACE option in single user mode, only to have it get stuck in the “Restoring…” state for a long time? This can be a frustrating experience, especially if you’re under pressure to get the database back online quickly. In this article, I’ll share some common reasons why this may happen based on my own…

Yours truly, discovering the wonders of a bottle of Barkeeper's Friend and a dish sponge on my incredibly tarnished and dirty brass dining room chairs:

BEHOLD. THE SHINY.

The difference with one of the yet-to-be-cleaned ones is stark:

Anyway, I'm (still) cleaning and reupholstering my dining room chairs. Finished 2 out of 6, but it's dark here now so will update with proper pictures later.

i think ronan lynch has a disproportionate level of carbon emissions and further more has an infinite capacity to stop climate change and has done nothing. how did blue tolerate this i would be at his throat.

I have a conundrum and I crave opinions!

**Context below the poll.**

I've been looking for a wooden folding leaf table for a while. The plan was to get one, strip it, sand, and stain it with some variety of purple. Visible mending is my favorite for many things. Furniture included.

Imagine my outright glee when I found one for $40. And it came with a storage section for chairs with the original four chairs! A year of searching, now over with results.

I looked at the pictures enough to see that it needs cosmetic repair, but it's sturdy. Good bones. The accordion door sticks, but it does work. The varnish has seen better decades, etc.

The seller was fab. Told me about the previous owners(mom and dad) and it was lovely. I bought a couple of other things from the sale. Small stuff I keep forgetting to buy. Very nice experience.

The accordion door(kept up because I haven't found why it's acting up yet)

Original wheels!

The top has water damage.

The hinge has the center metal of the hinge about a cm out.

The leaves have water damage and some scraping.

Mouse damage(I'm innocent).

I look up, "Romanian drop leaf table," and this thing is most likely from the 60s! In better shape they sell for more than $1000. Obviously this one needs work, but I mean, for $40 this is amazing. Past amazing.

But.

Is it okay to alter an antique?

Can I still turn this purple, or is that disrespectful?

I know that no matter what I do someone will be upset. I also know someone has already called dibs on the table upon my death regardless of which direction I go(they're not kidding, but they did say it in a funny way).

With just how much damage it has and the fact that a lot of this is veneer; it seems like a total overhaul is necessary either way. I've been told to scrub the tabletop with a baking soda paste mixture and a toothbrush. I confess, I'm not sure I'm really ready to do that. That sounds like a terrible time.

Originally spray painting the table was an option. It still could be if I do just the top. It may genuinely be the best option for the table's longevity. Quick, thin, and there's a lot of options for color and seal strengths. Plus there's already something that will need paint in the kitchen(this table will be in the kitchen) so they could match.

Remove-Replace-Restore

Promoting good gut health through the principles of replace, replace, and restore is essential for overall well-being.

Here are 20 ways you can incorporate these principles into your daily routine:

1. Replace processed foods with whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

2. Replace sugary beverages with water, herbal teas, or homemade smoothies.

3. Replace unhealthy fats with healthier options like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.

4. Replace refined grains with whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats.

5. Replace conventional dairy with probiotic-rich options like kefir, yogurt, or plant-based alternatives.

6. Replace artificial sweeteners with natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.

7. Replace all alcohol consumption.

8. Replace high-sodium foods with herbs, spices, and sea salt for flavor.

9. Replace fast food with homemade meals prepared with fresh ingredients.

10. Restore gut bacteria by consuming fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, and kombucha.

11. Restore gut lining by consuming collagen-rich foods like bone broth or incorporating a collagen supplement.

12. Restore gut health with prebiotic-rich foods like garlic, onions, leeks, bananas, and asparagus.

Why won’t my interior car light go out?

An interior car light that stays on continuously is usually caused by one of these ​​five common issues​​ — each with a diagnostic step and repair approach:

🔧 ​​Top Causes & Fixes​​

​​Door Switch Malfunction​​ (Most Common)

​​Cause:​​ A defective or stuck door/doorjamb switch (e.g., corroded contacts, broken plunger).

​​Test:​​ Open each door individually → press the switch manually with a screwdriver. If the light still won’t turn off, that switch is faulty.

​​Fix:​​ Replace the switch (10–25 part). Unplug it temporarily for a quick workaround.

​​Stuck Dimmer/Timer Control​​

​​Cause:​​ Your headlight/turn signal stalk’s interior light dial is rotated to "On" instead of "Door" or "Off."

​​Test:​​ Locate the dimmer dial (often on the dash or stalk). Turn it fully clockwise/counterclockwise → observe light behavior.

​​Fix:​​ Adjust to "Door" mode (symbol: car outline with open doors).

​​Trunk/Hatch or Hood Ajar Sensor​​

​​Cause:​​ Sensors in the trunk, tailgate, or hood think they’re open.

​​Test:​​ Check dashboard warning lights for "Door Ajar" icons. Inspect trunk/hood latches for debris or misalignment.

​​Fix:​​ Clean latches with WD-40. Adjust latch position if misaligned.

​​Short Circuit or Damaged Wiring​​

​​Cause:​​ Frayed wires near hinges (e.g., driver door harness) or faulty aftermarket accessories (dash cam, stereo).

​​Test:​​ Flick dome light on/off while gently wiggling wires in door jambs. Listen for crackling sounds → Do not touch exposed wires.

​​Fix:​​ Electrical tape minor shorts; replace wiring harness sections for major damage (150–400 repair).

​​Dome Light Button Jammed "On"​​

​​Cause:​​ Physical buttons on dome light assembly are stuck (common if bumped by cargo, kids, or pets).

​​Test:​​ Press each button repeatedly to unstick it.

​​Fix:​​ Remove lens cover → clean contacts with alcohol. Replace assembly if damaged (20–70).

⚠️ ​​Critical: Prevent Battery Drain!​​

A dome light left on for ​​8–12 hours can kill your battery​​. Do this immediately: ✅ ​​Temporary Disable:​​ Pull the fuse (check manual for "courtesy lights" fuse location, often 5A–10A in cabin fuse box). ✅ ​​Disconnect Bulb:​​ Twist bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it.

📋 ​​Diagnosis Flowchart​​

graph TD A[Light Won’t Turn Off] --> B{Check Dimmer Dial Position} B -- Fixed? --> End[Solved!] B -- Still On? --> C{Test Door Switches with Screwdriver} C -- Fixed? --> Replace[Replace Faulty Switch] C -- Still On? --> D{Inspect Trunk/Hood Sensors} D -- Fixed? --> End D -- Still On? --> E{Test Wiring Harness} E -- Short Found? --> Repair E -- No Short? --> F[Replace Dome Light Assembly]

💡 ​​Special Cases​​

​​Post-Battery Change Glitch:​​ Some cars require an automatic system relearn. Disconnect battery negative terminal for 10 minutes → reconnect.

​​Flood Damage:​​ Corrosion from water exposure may require professional wiring repairs.

​​Key in Ignition:​​ Lights stay on if the key is left in ACC or ON position.

​​Act now:​​ Start with the ​​easiest fixes​​ (dimmer dial → door switches) before tackling wiring. If unresolved, pull the fuse to save your battery and get a professional diagnosis. Most repairs cost ​​under 100 DIY**, but complex wiring issues may hit **300+​​.

Non sewing post, switch joy con repair

I ramble

Some of these are mine and some aren't. I waited until I had a whole bunch to batch fix them.

Since I was old enough to not get caught, I've tinkered with broken electronics. Sometimes I could fix it, and sometimes it stayed broken.

Over time more and more is fixable. Practice makes better and I am continuously better each year.

I kept the tutorial on my phone until I finished, but by number three I was fixing them in under 10 minutes. Unlocking the tab slots was both a joy and a nuisance! I like the tweezers a lot.

This was the first batch.

In total I repaired 7, mostly left side, joy cons.

Other than cramping the heck out of my hands, it was very doable.

One is out of commission until I order a replacement battery. I'll look up what the heck to do with a pillowy battery tomorrow. I'm very thankful that it didn't decide to blow up or start a fire. I hope it can be recycled into more batteries.

Overall I paid $24 USD for the kits and spent under 3 hrs while watching liminal space themed games youtubes (I'm confused but fascinated).

Buying a single joy con around here is $40

$40 a pop versus ~$3-4 a pop.
