I get paid hourly. I couldn't believe it, but now I understand it. Bean counters wanted to be able to count the beans accurately, and paying by the hour was counting accurately. That also means that...

I'm confused about what is actually happening. You said that Me.Close is executed on Cancel, but that everything after it is also executed. However, you showed the Save button, not the Cancel button....

I'm almost in the same boat, except that I write programs and enjoy doing so, which means that I goof off by working...which is weird. I've been putting off a minor improvement to a program that I...

Good to know. I'll be taking a tape measure to the store with me. I think the price difference between online and in person isn't worth the wait, to me. I want the 27" monitor that I am currently...

I considered that, actually, but decided against it. The desk is pretty good, despite being cheaply made. The drawback is that I can only have two monitors on it. The positive is that I can store a...

Yeah...no comment.

We've come for your liver.

Not sure what the Lenovo comment is about. Is it because they're now a Chinese company? I didn't even know they made monitors, and haven't seen any in my brief look around, but I'll take your word...

That's a very good comment. That monitor tends to be on an average of...oh, perhaps 28.5 hours per day. Well, not really, of course, but yeah, I use it a LOT. My electricity is pretty cheap, but I'd...

Not my server, actually. What is happening is that a third party is getting data from sundry folks, then we go to an API they provide to get data from them. We made an assumption, based on the nature...

There's always the question of whether or not it is worth fixing. With prices so cheap these days, and realizing that it was only a 24" monitor in a massive container, the cost of fixing it is hard...

All these years, I've thought it was a 27" monitor, but after reading up on the model number, it didn't seem possible. I measured it this morning, and it really is a 24" monitor. It's a bit of a...

Actually, before you go importing NewtonSoft, which version of .NET are you using. If you are using Framework, then you DO have to use NewtonSoft, but if you are using either .NET 5/6, which is...

You shouldn't be using arraylists. Those were deprecated back in 2005, and just confuse this issue. They can hold anything, which makes this problem more complicated because you don't know if you are...

Do astrophysicists drink rye? I would have thought they'd be more into vodka.

The monitor is a Dell 2405 FPW from back in 2005. Not as old as I thought....but still old.

I tried it out on a different computer, and the screen was black. The monitor appeared to come on, based...

Having looked more closely at a wider selection of data, UPSERT/INSERT IGNORE is not going to be happening.

The data is coming from an online DB via an automatic download. That download includes...

This thread reminds me of the golden chair.

The issue I have run into with this is that any network interruption experienced while the DB connection was open, can corrupt the database in weird and wonderful ways.

One thing that was never...

Now that I think about it, I might have one lying about. The monitor is so old that it doesn't have any of the newer video inputs, and I might not be able to cobble together cables, but I do believe...

I'll have to get back to you on that, once I get home.

I have a pretty old Dell 27" monitor that appears to have died yesterday. I was doing something, and the screen went black. A reboot didn't change anything, so I swapped in a different monitor, and...

That was in reference to some other post...I can't find it, though. Of course, I didn't look all that hard, either.

The cartoon reminds me of something, but I don't feel like explaining what.

If not, at least it pads my post race count.

Knowing what you are missing should probably help you find it.

One's the bird, another's the alien, the third is the firecracker.

That comic is hilarious.

It reminds me of one of those hot, still, summer days, when the temperature was pushing triple digits and the A/C in my car wasn't working. I was driving through town,...

Sorry, that was meant as a yolk.

Well, at least you didn't miss a beat with that reply.

Isn't that the proper term for a collection of garbage men?

Yeah, it's kind of funny. All of the STEM people seem to be horrified by the idea of having only STEM people.

That's a good Pooh quote.

I'm more like the Pooh bear of chit-chat.

Hardly. That would be DDay.

The guy who takes to the English language like an egg beater takes to eggs?

Yeah, I found that, of course. A modest change to make.

Darn. There's no pattern to the data. It's just goofiness all over the place. A few missing here, a few missing there. A few dozen on one day, a couple on another.

It would make a fine doorstop, though only a mediocre dust mop, so it should probably be valued between those two.

That reminds me of another story about a school that had a 'lifeboat' competition among the faculty to prove that their field should be included in the lifeboat. In that particular story, it was a...
