Post Race!

lmao! No tissue either!

A buddy of mine told me about an unknown guy from his college who was called "the aerial bomber." Apparently, he'd pull himself to the top of the stalls by some means, then try to 'hit the target'. The results would be messy.

Gross.

I had one little item missing from my installation of VS2015, so I went back to add that one item. The foolish update is taking forever! I'm not even sure whether it's working, or not.

I'm still kind of undecided on 2015. There are some good things to the IDE, but there are also some that are half baked. Launch speed appears to be improved, and background compile speed is stupid fast...unfortunately. It will tell me that a construct like an If statement isn't valid because I'm not able to type in the condition fast enough. Once I finish the condition, the error goes away, but in the meantime, the IDE is underlining and reformatting stuff so fast that my screen can be flashing as I type.

This is a pointless rant, of course, because I don't really care. However, it's the post race.

I use Visual Studios 2015 at home for projects that require xml literals or windows form applications.

Otherwise I just use dotnetfiddle

Say what now?

dotnetfiddle.net

It is a C#, F#, and VB.NET playground.

So...you're just fiddling around then?

Coincidentally I just got an email from Microsoft asking for feedback on visual studios 2015

Coincidentally, I got a fiddle from an email asking me to take a bow.

None of that is true, I just didn't have anything useful to say and, since this is the post race, I felt that I had to say it.

Don't fret about it. No frets with fiddles. :)

Good point. Fiddles have relatively few parts that are ammenable to puns.

Shaggy, It Figures you'd be fiddling around while the forum burns.

Now your just stringing us along.

Yeah, but other than sticking my neck out, that's about all there is. We need more fertile ground to plow.

I just did an uh oh.

I just watched a YouTube video on what dbasnett has posted a thread on...

The game of life.

I'm hooked.

Yeah, I made that mistake, too, but I saw the potential for addiction and stepped away. After all, since you can create a Turing computer in the game of life because it is possible to use multiple glider guns to toggle an object between two states, there really isn't much of a limit as to what can be accomplished.

I hear that MS is going to bring back VB6, but it will only run in a computer built in a game of life grid of VERY large size.

Yeah I was looking at their upcoming new language for Visual Studio code named Apex.
Didn't bother me until I flipped the logo upside down.

Whew! I thought that was a 6 not a C.

Favorite booze GO

I'm drinking Fireball right now, but I'd rather a really nice scotch. Which I'm about to pour some Glenlivet, but I prefer Glenmorangie and I really don't know what a "good" scotch is. Also margaritas are divine.

I literally just had Captain Morgan Black and Barques Cream Soda... WOAH!

Generally I drink Gentlemen Jack and water on the rocks.

I just had three courses of spam. It was delightful.

And a little more for desert. It's hard to practice moderation some times.

Depends on what you like, there are a lot of scotch whiskeys. I myself generally like the Speyside malts the most as they tend to be a bit sweeter and less peety. although i also really really Like bunnahabhain which is an islay malt and has a sort of spicyness to it.

I am not a big whiskey drinker, but when i do get a bottle i like to spend a little more get a good one!

So, that's what happened to Peet. He got around, but I never thought he'd end up being made into whiskey.

Happy pi day.

Mmmm... pi.

I keep forgetting that, which is hard to believe.

I voted. Therefore I'm better than you.

Is Ohio a closed primary?

Not any more.
