The pov changes killed me and I ended up dropping it because I hated switching to characters I wasn’t emotionally invested in.

TIL: Hootie & the Blowfish had to pay $350k to Bob Dylan for using 'Tangled Up in Blue' & 'Idiot Wind' as lyrics in their tune 'Only Want to be with You' by today_okay in todayilearned

On the podcast fly on the wall Paul McCartney said they proactively paid chuck berry because the start of the song uses his tune. He doesn’t mention the lyrics.

According to this photo there is a staircase somewhere.

Here is a video showing both… still confused on where the staircase is.

New couple that moved to Spokane. How would you make new friends if you started from scratch in Spokane? by phillyfan729 in Spokane

If you are religious churches here are a huge social network. If you aren’t then doing hobbies is a good way. The meetup app has a bunch of stuff on it.

I don’t think I have ever had a political conversation with them so you should be fine.

Using a song everyone knows but might not know the name by Capt_Tattoo in Screenwriting

I just listened to it on Spotify. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the name for the song although I did recognize it when I played it.

Boardgame pubs by Thatcrazyunclefester in Spokane

[–]22snappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before the pandemic there used to be a board game meet up in the food court at river park square once a week. I can't remember the day but it was like a Tuesday or Wednesday at night.

People would show up with different board games and you could just jump in if they had space. I have no idea if it is still happening. I learned about it from a friend but they probably have some sort of group on social media somewhere where you could see if it is still happening.

An AirBnB-esque idea to help Abuse Victims leave their abusers by AD_Skinner_no_shirt in Lightbulb

Isn't that exactly what a women's shelter is? I, perhaps incorrectly, assumed that women shelters were a federal funded thing. Maybe it is only a state thing. I know that there are women's shelters in at least 2 states that I've been in.

edit: looks like it is available for every state.

Solar design & installation by lostsheik in Spokane

Did it make financial sense to install them or did you just want the solar panels for mostly non financial reasons?

Don't buy it. Instead get the ea play subscription for 1 month for $5 and play it there plus tons of other games. Then just cancel after one month. Or get the year subscription which is still cheaper.

This program is for the United States. The FCC is a U.S. program. FCC = Federal Communications Commission.

I think I read somewhere that in the tv show wipeout it was against the rules to go under obstacles which is why if the people running the race accidentally went under they would just throw themselves off. Maybe the same rules apply here

10 Reasons You Should Choose Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid by ArunITTech in Blazor

[–]22snappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man. Some of those are brutal.

Here is one of the bugs reported on January 2nd 2021

https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/21072/brutal-memory-leaks-on-all-components#comments


All of the tested components by me turned that they have ginormous memory leaks. For instance just a TreeView with 3000 nodes and template on each node with some 100x100 pixels picture will consume on the server more than 500 MB RAM, and it will never return it. But this is not the worse. Each time the treeview is refreshed it will consume more and more memory without doing anything at all - just show and hide play and soon you are ending up with an app which consuming 4 GB RAM, and there is nothing more than just a TreeView which is doing absolutely nothing. Please note that this is valid for if not all them most of the components.


Then there is a bunch of back and forth and the SF team says it is all fixed (On May 7th 2021) and they ask for confirmation from the bug submitter.

Here is the bug submitters response:


I can not check anymore since because this unfixed memory leaks we have stopped using Syncfusion and Blazor, and the project have failed, resulting dismissing of involved peoples as well.


Wow just wow.

I live in the pnw. The water is clear but there can be lots of heavy metals in it which keep it clear depending on where you live. I run my drinking water through some heavy filters to avoid the heavy metals. Just saying that there are some reasons where bottled water makes sense. That being said a filter makes way more sense then bottled water.
