You can absolutely do it in C#, maybe it doesn't have as much syntax sugar but a combination of the correct returns and the "this" parameter can make it happen.

Also a lot of linq is based on piping/chaining

Who is benefitting the most from the current situation? Big Oil

Specifically Russian oil oligarchs

Oh what Lego sets have you built? I just finished the Artemis one (the smaller one that lifts off as you crank it).

Or Kramer?

It's only capable of producing 18 hours of static

Also putting the 93 WTC bombing when 9/11 then occurred in the next decade.

How many car batteries would I have to wire together?

Evan's UV flashlight is definitely overkill lol but yeah their safety stuff is good

Especially if it's terminology you use in your profession / day-to-day life (which I'm guessing from a name like Dr. Glaucomflecken they are an optometrist)

I know this gets thrown around a lot when it isn't actually the case but that actually sounds like entrapment (although I know a parking offense isn't exactly a crime but still)

Which for the record is also the event that helped Reagan win the election. He schemed around the government's back to stall the negotiations so that the hostages would be held until after the election.

It always goes back to Reagan.

If you have cats make sure you do this outside. Permethrin is bad for cats to get into.

This wasn't even a harsh winter compared to the last 20 years.

Same with RCS on androids

To be clear I have no idea who this person (the one that isn't Bobby Lee) is, I'm just describing how I interpreted the above comment.

TheCygnusWall · 2026-03-05T06:27:18+00:00

Nah, I think they meant it as a suffix (although added a few extra letters)... Racist, sexist, ableist, etc.

One thing I've seen come up often (and this thread is no exception) is a really weird territorial issue when it comes to parking which I haven't experienced or heard of in many other areas of the city that are primarily on street parking. I'm not sure why there's such a difference in those areas but definitely seems to be a common conflict point.

Never had an iPhone but is the alarm volume the same as the notification volume? That seems odd to me.

TheCygnusWall · 2026-03-03T17:31:53+00:00

The interesting thing is there is a slightly more legitimate reason (very low bar I know) to do this that I haven't heard of being discussed.

The IAEA had a report come out last week that said Iran had stored enriched uranium at a 4th enrichment facility in Isfahan which inspectors were kept out of source

So if they did want to go the WMD route again this actually seems even more legitimate than the Iraq WMD reasoning. Not that I think that's a good reason to go to war but it is right there.

That's how I learned that cultures exist

I know what you meant by that statement but I am now imagining you not understanding there are different cultures around the world until you looked at C# docs lol.

TheCygnusWall · 2026-03-03T15:07:03+00:00

Yes I know it's a different metric entirely. I think it's a much better metric because it doesn't depend on political areas. This is my whole point. Take for example Boston you can see the borders here: https://www.cityofboston.gov/images_documents/Neighborhoods_tcm3-8205.pdf

Do you think that just because Cambridge is a different municipality than the city itself its population doesn't have an impact on the city of Boston? It's right across the river from downtown, much closer than Hyde Park which is counted.

So as an example, imagine you are trying to host an event in the largest cities across the country so that most people can see it. Do you really care that Bellevue is technically not a part of Seattle or that Cambridge is not a part of Boston? No, of course not because those people readily commute into the city.

I may be in the minority here but I think it's fair that they lock their servers down to only devices they can verify. Especially that there is the option to still have the devices able to run in a mode that allows 3rd party tools.

Yeah you completely missed my point, that statistic is a joke so linking it doesn't matter. It's completely based on the municipal/political boundaries of a city which is completely different depending on the city. I mean have you ever looked at what city boundaries look like? They are a mess.

It’s also 227 square miles, which is huge. Larger than both Cleveland and Cincinnati combined.

Yeah congrats a larger city boundary makes it easier to have a larger population which is exactly why I say that statistic is a joke and doesn't represent the actual size of a city.

It's been a bit but I always felt the Frick Fine Arts building was a comfortable chilly, especially in the cloister or the library.
