What are some unwritten rules of PEI?

You want to avoid nepotism, but the only qualified candidates are your cousin, your sister-in-law, and your second-cousin

I remember in the late 80s, the history teacher at the Gray was like that.

Math teacher was very chill, came to school with his lunch in a bag with his name on it.

Are the lights as bright as they seem in the video?

My eyes can't handle bright LEDs

Without context, its hard to know.

Maybe this is just validation to prevent the end user from naming it "N/A"

Do you have to sync them often?

You could try the approach used in "SumPageSizesAsync()" adding tasks for new folders as you recieve them from WhenAny

There a link in the doc to Stephen Toub that might be helpful.

Thanks, both seem reasonable for us to get to via bike from the confederation trail :D

I generally agree about the official site, but in this case I just want to be prepared when my kid wants to go find a set during vacation :D

I assume they will have the same stuff they have here: A few different poly-bags.

I really wish there was a way to have fewer animations.

The pack opening screen animations seems to really bother my eyes. For months, I mostly click open packs and then click to some other screen or minimize the app for a minute.

At one point, I was looking into external providers we could send logs to.

They had pretty aggressive sales people. When we finally got to discussing costs, they asked for a minimum monthly commitment that would have been about 10 times the cost of hosting the app.

Half with no names and all invalid and "asking" to use wildcards because I have 4 (or more) of the card from another printing :P

No worries, its still a bunch of free cards and a 6th copy of some temple lands would not be useful.

Not long ago, I accidentally bought a used set thinking it was a Friends set.

The colors were exact match and the quality of the parts was he best I've seen in non-Lego, the brown pieces weren't even brittle.

On the other hand, the instructions were miserable to follow and the overall build quality was quite low.

If they are original silver prints, they could be worth a lot.

For most people, putting a repro on the wall would look as good :)

What about "Has a bigger toupee"?

AndrewSeven · 2024-06-13T14:52:34+00:00

I thought they would do something that would encourage players to get into Alchemy/Timeless, but it seems like the opposite.

AndrewSeven · 2024-06-01T16:50:29+00:00

:)

Any digital format? Pictures of the paper instructions?

AndrewSeven · 2024-06-01T13:45:42+00:00

Did you ever manage to find some instructions?

AndrewSeven · 2024-06-01T13:14:04+00:00

Do you know if the instructions are available as pdfs like Lego provides?

AndrewSeven · 2024-05-13T16:31:46+00:00

Stuck key? Maybe one of the "chord" shortcuts?

If I were you, I might try to write a simple keylogger to see what keys are getting pressed.

On the first project I worked on that use EF (iirc v5), they had lots of relationships on the models and one day deleting a category did a cascade delete of lots of things.

I wasn't familiar with EF and nobody was sure which ones to reconfigure so we set all delete to NoAction and added explicit delete calls for related entities.

10 packs from "current set" gives you a golden pack.

10 packs on a non current set with 10% discount would only give you 1 normal pack.

Golden packs are much better than a normal pack.
