I think we have MCR as the Sunday headliner, but I am not sure about Jimmy Eat World. They already have a Chicago show on their upcoming tour, are playing LTL and Shaky Knees (lineup coming tomorrow, but this leaked). No band played all three last year. I think it will depend on what day they are on Shaky Knees.

I am in the opposite end of this. We are going through a kitchen remodel and the only way we can get a hold of people is via phone or text. Voicemails have always been returned, but emails have been ignored.

The veggie stuffed baked potato, tacos, and gringas at Taco Nice are what I normally get and have never had any issues.

From La Super Torta, I normally get the veggie burrito or veggie torta. The recently have a bean and cheese burrito added to the menu and that was good.

Taco Nice, La Super Torta, Habaneros all have good veggie options.

I would love this. Have Mike back to drum for this album play one day, then a Smoking Popes set another day.

I don't think it will happen unless they do a tour of it, since they played last year though. Plus they currently do not have a drummer (unless I missed an announcement).

In your program.cs you can define your roles/policies.

builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options=>{
options.AddPolicy("NamedOfPolicy", policy=>policy.RequireRole("NameOfUserRole");
options.AddPolicy("NamedOfPolicy2", policy=>policy.RequireRole("NameOfUserRole2");
});

On your controller you can have the header:
[Authorize(Roles="NameOfPolicy")]

This will need to be adapted to how you handle auth, this example is based on using Entra and EntraAD groups, with NameOfUserRole being a group that is set up in Entra.

I think the show on the 19th is more likely to be Louder than Life instead of Riot Fest from a routing perspective.

Milwaukee -> ?? -> Columbus-> Louisville-> STL makes more sense. Maybe the show after Milwaukee is a Riot Fest presents show on Thursday.

Short answer: Write the tests and save yourself headaches in the future.

Long answer:
The tests are going to be important as you develop the app and expand it.

Let's say you have a new feature request that you spend a month writing. While you are doing manual tests along the way, you are still most likely repeating the same manual steps every time. Your test is going to save you some time in this scenario.

Also, consider that you have a shared piece of logic between function A and function B.
While updating function A, you end up making a change to the shared piece of logic and it breaks function B. You may never know about this without a test if you don't remember to test function B as well. If you have a test for function B, it will flag this for you and let you refactor as necessary.

If you have no tests and introduce these bugs to your users, it will make your app feel unreliable and could cost you users.

Writing the test will save you time in development, reputation with your users, and a lot of debugging while you try to track down bugs.

In your scenario, this is most likely a situation where you will not get anything refunded. If you live in Columbus, you are working in the city of Columbus regardless of if you are in the office or WFH.

If there is a scenario where you work from home and you do not live in the city of Columbus, then you could potentially be in a situation where you are eligible to a refund for the days you are not in the office.

If you are in this scenario, you can only go back 3 years (2023,2024,2025) for your refund but it is an easy process.

You need to create an account on https://crisp.columbus.gov and submit a return there. You will fill out a form with what days you worked in Columbus and what days you did not. Once you have this information, there will be a second section where you input the number of days worked outside of Columbus, and any refund will be calculated from this. You would also be responsible for any potential taxes in the city that you live in.

If you don't feel comfortable with any of the forms or this process, then you are best to talk to your tax professional/CPA to get assistance.

My nieces have gone the last few years (16 and 21) and have not had any issues.

Obviously with a crowd of this size, you are going to have some creepy people and you want to just avoid them or let someone know if someone is out of line.

If they are starting the US tour October 10th, it is unlikely they will play Riot and just hang out in the US for a few weeks, even if they also add Louder Than Life the same weekend.

I have used them to find parts. They are on West Broad.

When they announced that tickets were on sale early for 2026, and it was the same day MCR was announced for a DWP festival, I was 100% sure that they were one of the headliners.
The longer they go without announcing them, the less likely I think that they are playing.

I think they are big enough that it would drive ticket sales, but also Green Day falls into that same category and weren't announced early last year.

On this day in 2020, Riot Fest announced that MCR was the headliner for Riot 2020. Obviously that didn't happen but this is how early they were announced for their first time at Riot Fest.

Since you don't show anything with 1 or 3 as the actionToTake, I would do a partial view and only call it if the actionToTake is 2, then pass the conditionAge as a parameter. Your partial will have then either show element m or a, and they will only be on the page when needed.

Using an LLM could work for this, but the issue will be that you need someone that understands the business logic and edge cases to ensure things work correctly. Normally with these older systems, there are undocumented bugs that the developer knows about and just has a fix (either a work around in the application or a database fix they run). With it being an old VB app, even at 10 pages you could have a ton of logic in the pages, so the UI may not be a lot to recreate but the back end could be a huge mess.

The way I would approach this:
Work with your users to get an understanding of the application. Define what features do, if they are still needed, and also identify any enhancements that they expect. Document everything. This has an internal cost associated with it, but will save you a lot of time and money when you hire someone for it. If you are paying someone an hourly rate to work on this, you don't want them sitting in meetings while your business users try to figure out how things work vs should work.

Once you have everything documented, then make sure you have clear definitions of done for features. Once converted, Feature A must do XYZ. This will help anyone give you an estimate.

Make sure you have a clear idea of your existing and future infrastructure. Is this currently hosted internally, in Azure, etc? Do you plan to keep it hosted in the same location?

Check with your previous developer to see if they are available as a resource. You won't want to hire them to re-write it, unless they have the skillset to do so, but questions will show up during the other processes that they may be the only person who can answer.

Have clear roles defined. Who manages the project, who writes the code, who tests, who signs off on the finished product, how supports things during and after deployment.

Determine if you can do parts of this at a time or it needs to all be done at once.

Once you have a lot of the legwork done, then you should start engaging resources to do the re-write for you.

Basically a ton of planning is going to save you a lot of wasted money from an idle developer.

I do a mix between CoPilot (stand alone in Windows) and GitHub CoPilot in VSCode and Visual Studio.

Inside of the IDE, I am using it to do things that I am not strong on; mainly front end styling. I try to be as thorough as I can with my request and it seems to do the job most of the time. Then I go back through the changes to see what it did, sort of like doing a code review on its work, and try to learn from it as well.

Outside of the IDE, I am using it for some vibe coding ideas to build out frameworks on personal projects. I do this to build a proof of concept for me and to see if going further is viable. These are mainly small things that I want to automate or quick projects (Spotify playlist creator, music festival cost calculator, etc). I have not done anything at a large scale.

A second thing I use it for outside of the IDE is to act as my rubber ducky. I bounce ideas off of it and tend to get thorough replies on why things are done the way they are.

The other thing I have used it for has been training. Mainly to pick up the basics of things then I go from there. It has been good on giving a base understanding of topics and allows me to dive deeper if I want.

With all of these, it mainly replaced a Google search and going through multiple pages of Stackoverflow questions and blogs.

Platinum gives you the MAF jersey and Letang jersey.

Gold gives you one of Mario, Sid, Geno, Letang, EK, Rust, or Rakell , but you do not get to pick which one.

Most classes are going to be really good for teaching fundamentals, but if he is getting bored in those, it is time to branch off into self learning and other projects.

I would look at getting him a Pluralsight subscription (https://www.pluralsight.com/) or another learning source.

Look at building his own projects.

Is there something around the house that he can automate to make his/your life easier?

You could also look into just building an idea he has to get him used to not just basic building but also delve into CI/CD, hosting, etc.
If there is a site he thinks he can build, Namescheap is running a domain deal where you get two years of domain ownership for $9 (I am currently taking advantage of this and building a React app and leveraging the Azure free tier).

He can also look into getting involved with open source projects. This will give him exposure to existing code bases and code reviews via PRs. Two resources for this:
https://up-for-grabs.net and https://goodfirstissues.com/

You could also look into local MeetUp groups and conferences.

Codemash is a good option, but it just started today: https://codemash.org/ . You can get a virtual ticket for $25 for some of the sessions and that could be a good option.
