This shit sounds like when your mom tells you that the Facebook printed out her bank statement on the fax machine. I'm not smart enough to even guess how you did something dumb enough to make that happen.

How bad are you at writing queries? How does your hard drive overheat even under 100% load? Do you have it smothered under a blanket? Did you crack it up and expose it to cheeto dust? What does running a query on your, presumably, remote database even have to do with your harddrive in the first place? Are you trying to copy the entire database locally to a laptop? Do you know how to tie your shoes yet, or are you still on the velcro?

Literally every time someone dismisses Wikipedia, it's because they believe something crazy that Wikipedia told them is wrong.

Molly White is very bright, and she makes them feel inadequate so they "have to" attack her. It's truly pathetic.

This sounds like trying to do stuff in Excel? The computer isn't overheating but the amount of memory needed is very high which would make it run poorly. They might interpret that as overheating?

It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer "the hard drive" like grandma and the fans kicked on.

I used to perform data analysis of robotics firmware logs which would generate several million log lines per hour and that was my second job out of college.

I don't know how you fuck up 60k lines that bad. Is he nesting 150 for loops and loading a copy of the data set in each one while mining crypto??

What in the fuck is this idiot doing? I've process datasets far larger than that and never once have I run into a hard drive "overheat". I mean what level of incompetence do you have to have to get a hard drive to overheat processing a measley 60K rows of data?

I've used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.

60k lol.

I regularly work with data in the 16tb range and weirdly my computer is fine. Git gud, doge scrubs.
