You can also make the same argument about ORM's mock DB layer.

How would it be easier with ORM when switching to in-memory database for standard SQL is just changing connection string?

Re:Heroic rat retiring from detecting land mines on Friday June 04, 2021 @07:07PM (#27400114)
The error here is thinking that the rat is in danger when doing its job and that the word heroic cannot be used to describe non-human.

From Webster, heroic: of a kind that is likely only to be undertaken to save a life.

This rat's work has saved lives. So, we can call it heroic. It is not even anthropomorphic strictly speaking.

Most of the unexploded ordinances in this country were dropped from big planes. Think clustered munitions and such. Those big planes came from a far away land.

Why do you have to be so negative? This rat is not at any risk of harm because it is too small to trigger the mines. I would say this rat has been and will continue to be very well taken care of. It is also wholesome that people celebrate its "retirement" and appreciate its accomplishments. Your criticism is off base and rabid.
