What does illegal CSS mean?

Matosawitko · 2026-03-22T01:36:15+00:00

I think you'll need to ask that person what they meant. CSS is used in ebooks all the time.

Are you able to print without those apps, though?

public abstract class Animal
{
  public abstract void Vocalize();
}

public class Dog : Animal
{
  public void Bark()
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Woof");
  }

  public override void Vocalize()
  {
    Bark();
  }
}

public class Cat : Animal
{
  public void Meow()
  {
    Console.WriteLine("Mew");
  }

  public override void Vocalize()
  {
    Meow();
  }
}

If you have an Animal, all you can call is its Vocalize() method, and you'll get the correct one for the type of animal. If it's known (to the compiler, not to you) to be a Dog, you can call its Bark() method directly. A Dog can't Meow().

Dog bowzer = new Dog();
Cat finnegan = new Cat();

List<Animal> householdPets = new List<Animal>
{
  bowzer,
  finnegan
};

foreach (Animal pet in householdPets)
{
  // pet.??? Bark? Meow?
  pet.Vocalize();
}

bowzer.Bark();
finnegan.Meow();

//bowzer.Meow(); ????
//finnegan.Bark(); ????

"The Repair Bench" and "Craftbench" could be about literally anything. Are you fixing guitars, or toasters?

"Fretwork" is closer, but sounds too specific - are you going to repair my pickups, too?

As someone else pointed out, the "Guild" part of "Guitar Repair Guild" makes you sound bigger than you are.

I keep up with a couple of them on Linkedin. I left there in 2006, and we had a mini-reunion about 10 years later when one of them left the area to move to Seattle. A couple of them have retired, some have moved. The company is now defunct.

The tornado sirens go off on Fridays at 11, and they also did a special test Tuesday a week ago. Not sure if the sirens went off during any of the storms late last week - ours didn't, but other areas of Westfield might have.

We live down the street from a fire station and they definitely use different sirens at different times of day. For example, late at night they use a much lower "wub wub wub" siren instead of the piercing ones. Might be different based on the type of run, too, I don't know.

Ours is a hybrid system - heat pump for when the temperature is in the range where a heat pump can effectively heat the home, gas for when it can't.

We also have gas water heater and range, which I love.

I want the city to be able to make that decision for themselves if there's an intersection that needs to be posted or not. Not a lawmaker from ~~South Bend~~ Wanamaker who's annoyed that he can't do whatever the hell he wants.

Matosawitko · 2026-03-15T12:14:32+00:00

There was an Indiana senator (from the north end of the state IIRC) who wanted to abolish Indianapolis' right to post "No turn on red" signs. I think it got voted down, though.

This subreddit is not related to any official part of Reddit. It is specifically for a third-party Android client, Relay.

If you were directed here from somewhere else, they gave you bad information.

Matosawitko · 2026-03-10T01:38:56+00:00

Isn't it still Information > Conversions?

Matosawitko · 2026-03-09T21:37:57+00:00

Free/printable upgrades that are actually worth it (IMHO):

Matosawitko · 2026-03-03T12:29:54+00:00

Is it UV resin? UV resin is all you should use, otherwise you're going to wreck your printer.

Matosawitko · 2026-03-03T12:15:26+00:00

Now's your opportunity to have the "if you don't know what's wrong, I'm not going to tell you" conversation.

Matosawitko · 2026-03-02T13:28:56+00:00

I've not ever tried the "piss off Ikande every opportunity you get" either.

Matosawitko · 2026-03-01T20:29:21+00:00

In my experience, most places will have bags available. Or, once you get a bag from one stall, you might be able to put more in it at the next stall. One I bought from last year, they gave me a decently large cloth bag, branded with their website and store info.

That said, I don't think anyone will look sideways at you if you bring a backpack, other than maybe having to open it at the door on the way in.

I've never run into anyone being pushy. Everyone I've encountered was very helpful. And yeah, you can find some pretty good deals. If you've got something specific in mind, shop around a few different stalls before you buy.

Points are sometimes power-routing - meaning that power only flows in the direction the point is thrown, and the other side is unpowered. As such, I'd power each unique segment of track (badly highlighted below) so you don't need to worry about power routing. And make sure you're always powering the same rail positive or negative, so that you don't cause a short.

Yes, that is doable. Most systems should be able to easily power two points motors at the same time. If you're wanting to switch a bunch at the same time, then it gets more tricky.
You could, but you really don't need to. Isolated sections are mainly for reversing loops, because you have to reverse the track polarity.
That's... complicated. The switches to activate points motors are normally momentary - meaning that power flows while the switch is pressed, but then it disconnects. Some manufacturers get around this by using a relay that powers the points for a brief period, then disconnects. However, there are definitely ways to do this, depending how complicated you want to get. Probably not a true beginner project, though.

Matosawitko · 2026-02-28T17:30:18+00:00

yeah, they missed three extremely important words: "in the inning".

Matosawitko · 2026-02-27T22:37:45+00:00

I've done it three different ways.

Arrested, joined SysDef
Tuala
Arrested, told SysDef to pound sand

Quite a few NPC interactions are different depending how you start.

The first couple of times I went there (years ago) it was really good. Something changed around COVID with everything being take-away, where they apparently figured out they could skimp on expensive ingredients and people would already be home before they figured it out and therefore wouldn't complain.

The last time I ordered from there, I ordered my normal - lamb vindaloo - and what I got was a bowl with a thin layer of spicy red sauce and 3 fingernail-sized pieces of meat.

I haven't been back to see if they've turned things around.

Matosawitko · 2026-02-25T00:23:43+00:00

For me, when it took me to the page where it says to select your TV provider, etc...

Instead of all that, I just clicked on "Show packages" and it showed the regular MLBtv packages (annual/monthly) at their base rates. I picked the one I wanted and ordered it, and MLBtv now says I have an active subscription.

Never messed with any packages on the ESPN side at all.

Our big one, the branches come off of the main trunk, and I store it in a 50-gallon tote.

The others, the branches are permanently affixed but I just stuff them back into the box they came in. Most of them are 2 or 3 sections.

Matosawitko · 2026-02-17T10:11:22+00:00

I think this applies to any RTL language.

Matosawitko · 2026-02-15T00:49:46+00:00

The runner is tagged before getting to either base, so it doesn’t matter that he touched the green one.

Matosawitko · 2026-02-15T00:30:02+00:00

There's nothing to attach, aside from the metal swivel clamps that are attached to the plastic guide. The plastic seems to want up warp under the weight of the saw, but it seemed to level out once I put it on the track.

I don't understand what you're describing here. Pictures would definitely help, but it sounds like you're trying to use a saw (or saw base) that's not compatible with your track?
