Random Q dads… outdoor dining table. I’m considering two options that are almost identical. One has thin slats of composite faux wood on top. The other a flat stone top. The slats will drain but also space for stuff to get in between and for cups to fall over when toddlers sit them down. I’ve just never had a flat top outdoor table before. Any issues anyone has had?

Currently creating spend analysis and doing vendor onboarding work for my company. It’s becoming a little mundane after 3-4 years. This was my first job out of college and I don’t really know how I got into this path. Graduated in business management and marketing. I am super creative and feel like a need a job that allows me to showcase that, but not sure what. Wondering if anyone works in the business world but also mixes with the creative side.

Have recently started learning Azure DE through videos (purchased Udemy course - Amit Navgire). But unable to understand much. Even if I am able to understand, just forget it the very next day (like steps to create linked service to storage or Data Lake account, etc..)
What should I do to understand it in much better way ?
Note: Have past experience in data analytics and little bit in Data Science

NFW- I just had a good laugh.
