People traveling for the holidays will be in for some sticker shock this season.

The cost of everything from airfare to gas prices has gone up, CNN Business reported. Here's what you can expect.

U.S. airlines just had one of the most profitable quarters of all time, per CNN — at the literal expense of their passengers. American Airlines, United, Delta and Southwest, which support 80% of U.S. air travel, earned a combined $2.8 billion in the second quarter.

Gas prices are also skyrocketing. According to a recent report from Gas Buddy, the national average cost for gas is projected to be $3.68 per gallon on Thanksgiving Day, approximately 20 cents higher than it was on the holiday last year — and breaking a record set 10 years ago.

Travelers renting cars will also see steep increases in cost. Per The Wall Street Journal, several major car rental companies sold large portions of their fleets when demand was low during the pandemic; now, that translates to higher rates for consumers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index reported that car rental prices soared 48% from July 2019 to July 2022.

Additionally, hotel room costs are on the rise. Per the CPI, prices are up 6% year over year and 12% higher than in October 2019.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables.
