I recommend SQLitany when flexing your cross joined faith in the DB (daily bread).

The name of the tool doesn't matter, the subject of the OP is still a sinner ๐Ÿ‘น

Reminder that alchemy didn't go away, it evolved into modern chemistry. So of you think alchemy is occult then you better take a good look at all the engineered chemicals around you and either accept your place in hell or go live in a cave.

Hehe. I get it. But it's not really true. It's like saying a horse evolved into a car or an Ox into a tractor. Just because it replaced it or did the same job doesn't mean it's related or the initial thing didn't go away. Alchemy is putting together random substances to create gold. Chemistry is backed by science and rooted in reality. It's probably closer related to cooking (where you also mix substances) than to alchemy ๐Ÿ˜‰ Pseudoscience didn't do away, but I'm positive alchemy did.

Is there a link to the original post? I want to see the replies. Unfortunately I can't find it.
