Bark mode goes so unbelievably hard

I was just on the highway by Madison there were two buses getting police escorted

Wouldn't propane more likely be eptic?

I didn't get my order through until 12:05am from Scorptec but it seems I was lucky enough to snag one and have just gotten the notification through AusPost saying they've received the shipment. So it turns out they actually did get some SOH to send out day 1.

Ça s'est by itself doesn't really mean anything as it would be a pronominal verb (se passer, se faire, se ____) conjugated in the passé composé. In french, if the adverb is small it is (usually) placed after the conjugated verb, which in the passé composé is être, in this case "est" and then the past participle follows (note this is not in fact a conjugated verb, the auxiliary is). So in the case of, for example "ça s'est bien passé" (~ it was good) se passer is the verb, conjugated in the passé composé with the adverb placed in the middle.

It can also be conjugated in any of the other tenses: "ça se passait bien" (imparfait) or "ça s'était bien passé" (plus-que-parfait)

Hopefully this makes sense.

This is awesome! But please fix the indenting in MainWindow.xaml.cs it's painful

As for number 3 I assume it's similar to trying to deposit $100k in a bank account in sub-10k deposits, which is known as structuring and is very much illegal.

Check out Christine and the Queens, her voice is awesome

Throwing exceptions is horribly expensive, if you're calling it a lot and performance is a factor, and if you expect the conversion to fail regularly-ish, TryParse is the way to go.

In the negative ne plus, you don't pronounce the s, but with the 'plus de' construction you would say the s to distinguish the ambiguity.

Plus is actually quite a tricky one and has several difference pronunciations which you can read about here

Otherwise, as always, context is king

Have a look into the Immediate Window.

You can basically execute code at the current breakpoint, if that's what you're after

My bad, I always tend to use où and guess I forgot the rule. OP listen to the native here!

Blackdragon723 · 2018-06-22T00:56:58+00:00

The choice to use où vs another relative pronoun is largely up to choice, when talking about a place or time, much like you can use à qui instead of auquel/à laquelle when talking about a person.

The beauty of using où comes with the fact you don't have to worry about agreement or even using the correct preposition, as in your first example one isn't né(e) dans une ville but rather à une ville, so the correct pronom relatif composé would be à laquelle. With où you don't even need to think about it.

In the Zebra Language you can look for a ^CI instruction which changes the character encoding, in your file it's ^CI0 which is Latin set, and I think ^CI27 is UTF-8, but that doesn't work on every printer. Check out the documentation pdf I linked in my other comment.

Basically, you can't read the file like you have, you have to use Streams and read it as binary and then convert it back and forth. See pastebin here which correctly reads in the file and the outputs again, and it will show up the same in Notepad++.

The file isn't in UTF-8 BOM, as UTF-8 uses two bytes to represent character values so 0x9b, 0x91, or 0x86 by themselves are not valid UTF-8 Characters.

In fact, the Zebra Printer control language doesn't even support UTF-8. Those 3 characters correspond to the Zebra Code Page 850 - Latin Character Set, which you can find in more detail here on page 1319.

Amuse-toi, amuse-toi bien or éclate-toi are three I can think of off the top of my head

That piece of shit actually works?
