My perfect pitcher of Mojito recipe

 Here is my recipe for a pitcher of mojito, adapted from  Mojitos by the Pitcher Recipe . 3/8 cup granulated white sugar 36 mint leaves 3 medium limes, quartered 1 cup rum, preferably Castillo Silver Puerto Rican rum 1 liter coconut seltzer 1. Muddle sugar and mint leaves in a pitcher 2. Add limes and muddle until limes are juiced 3. Add rum and seltzer, and stir until sugar is dissolved 4. Serve with a mint sprig as garnish Sugar is cut from the original recipe so you can better taste other flavors, and using coconut seltzer gives a hint of coconut for that extra tropical flair. I recommend this muddler and spoon to make the muddling and mixing in the pitcher easy:  Amazon.com: tifanso Muddler for Cocktails, 10" Muddler and Long Handle Bar Cocktail Mixing Spoon, Stainless Steel Stirrer, Bar Accessories Tools for Mojitos Fruit Drinks: Home & Kitchen

AI SQL Tuner Gets Smarter with GPT-5.2

Image
AI SQL Tuner now incorporates GPT-5.2 as its primary model. GPT-5.2 is a strong match for AI SQL Tuner because it combines deeper reasoning with clearer, more structured output. Microsoft describes it as: GPT-5.2: The most advanced reasoning model that solves harder problems more effectively and with more polish. An example of this is information work, where great thinking is now complemented with better communication skills and improved formatting in spreadsheets and slideshow creation. In practice, those improvements translate well to database tuning: stronger analysis of complex indexing tradeoffs, better plan-cache interpretation, and cleaner recommendations that are easier to review and implement.  Testing using HammerDB running the TPCH benchmark showed AI SQL Tuner's recommendations improved performance by nearly 75%.  For more details, see the full post at https://aisqltuner.com/2025/12/13/ai-sql-tuner-gets-smarter-gpt-5-2/ .  If you are ready to try it you ...

Even Brent Likes AI Now

For those that don’t know, Brent Ozar is one of the leading consultants focusing on SQL Server performance. He is well-known as the developer of the   SQL Server First Responder Kit , a great set of scripts for diagnosing SQL Server issues. In a recent post, “ Get ChatGPT’s Advice On Your Queries with sp_BlitzCache “, he shared the following:    I vividly remember one gig where a client had been struggling with memory starvation for  months , and on the call together, we identified the query with sp_BlitzCache, then pasted the query into ChatGPT. It found the query’s problem in minutes, rewrote the query to work around the problem, and then we got started testing the changes to make sure they worked the way we needed ’em to work. Bottom line is Brent is better at pretty much everyone else when it comes to SQL Server tuning and he is acknowledging that AI can be better and faster than him.

Identifying Possible Price Fixing in the market of Ethacrynic Acid 25 MG tablets

  Executive Summary Ethacrynic Acid 25 MG tablets is the generic form of Edecrin, a loop diuretic that was originally approved by the FDA in 1967.   Ethacrynic Acid is the only loop diuretic that does not contain sulfa, so there are no substitutes for patients that need a loop diuretic but are sensitive to sulfa. There are multiple generic manufacturers of Ethacrynic Acid 25 MG tablets.   However, data from the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services show that the prices fluctuate over time but consistently move in lockstep.   Given the significant fluctuation in prices, the only rational conclusion is that the generic drug makers are colluding to fix the price at an artificially high level.   Background Etacrynic acid (INN) or ethacrynic acid (USAN), trade name Edecrin, is a loop diuretic used to treat high blood pressure and the swelling caused by diseases like congestive heart failure, liver ...
