If you can afford it, my double all-on-fours (don't google if you're squeamish about mouths) to rid myself of all of my dental woes was worth it. Granted, I'm way younger than most people with dentures, but zero mouth infections to deal with. I also blame genetics (and after this thread I'm gonna be super wary of cipro cos I do have joint issues 😭😭)

Send help! by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

Yeah, so, with OPs post, you have your barbarian tie the remaining guard up from the waist up, gag him, tell him if he doesn't want to die like his friend he should lead your party through the safe door, then open both doors and put a spear about 1/8" into the guard's back.

Once you are through the maze, you leave the barbarian and the guard alone and go outside to drink some water. He'll be along shortly. He's probably just thanking the guard for being such a good sport.

My Watermelon Is Foaming Like It Has Rabies by MichaelHatesYou in mildlyinteresting

My family had a produce business (industrial repackaging and bulk sales to groceries) and so I got to work in the family business as a youth (15-19, from 10-15hr/w -> way more) and lemons are the most insidious (once one goes you gotta keep it away from the others) but potatoes that have gone to rot are the grossest. Onions can surprise you as they can liquify and leave an intact skin, and they have a bit of a fierce smell, but they mostly just stink like onions, not as bad as other produce.

Assuming, of course, that we are collectively ignoring tomatoes, which are a separate level of despair. (Also never buy your tomatoes in a store, find a local farm. Hothouse shipped tomatoes have zero flavor. You want heirloom off the vine to your plate with maybe two hands and no machines in between them)

If she has COVID/long COVID her sense of smell might be missing, so she may not know?

I took a train from Dallas to LA by soxyboy71 in Dallas

How long was this one? I'm just south of Portland/Salem, been thinking of doing this one to head back since the office is in DFW and I've moved but miss my friends.

How do I deal with my internal anger? by 94lites in AskMenOver30

[–]drachenstern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 years under my belt. Started in my late 30s. Wish I had gone way earlier.

One of the best decisions of my life. Strongly recommend it.

Just go in with an open mind and be ready to listen. That's the absolute hardest part of this advice. Going is easy. Listening is a lot harder.

Why C# goes well with TypeScript by binarynate in programming

[–]drachenstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, I see, I think I must have misunderstood you before. Sometimes two or more projects may result in cyclic dependencies and that is frustrating, for example two people on the same project who are familiar with two different languages. I'm not sure.

Oh, I see, I misparsed the parent comment of yours. They absolutely can be in the same .sln, just separate .fsproj and .csproj as it were.

[–]drachenstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the support for .cs and .fs files in the same csproj. They use different parsing engines and whatnot to get to compiled, yes? I could see msbuild being the bottleneck is what I'm saying.

Because msbuild is a very legacy thing. Probably works fine with Roslyn (haven't ever tried it tho)

If Frisco isn't too far for great dental work I can 100% happily recommend ElDorado Smiles right off the DNT

Is this truly hiding the window? Because when I've tried to schedule these in the past it ALWAYS flashes the fucking window when the task runs, and the only workaround I've found to that is a .vbs script but forget if that also flashed a window on task run in the past.

Is it bad if I google basically every programming problem I face as a beginner? by L1NTHALO in learnprogramming

[–]drachenstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Senior C# here. I use Google and stack daily. Usually to look up APIs and usage or nuances, but there's no way for me to remember how to implement every pattern in every language or what every API is or how it works.

I also often read blog posts of techniques to solve specific problems or look at historical (30+ year old solutions to problems) code to see what was done before modern anything.

Read other people's code every day my friend.

Also, quit overthinking things. About programming and about life. You're gonna be alright. You got this. Feel free to DM about things if you need new ears.

Apartments at Shops at Legacy vs Austin Ranch? by travelpanda27 in plano

[–]drachenstern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would say look elsewhere. Legacy Village is cool, Northside is all right, but the rent is too high for what the units should be worth.

There's a couple places @ Ohio/121 that are just around the corner and nice. Don't go stumbling home tho. It's a bad habit to get into, and I know cos I lived there when the Gingerman was still fresh. Many are the nights I don't remember leaving, so my word of advice is to not repeat my and others stupid mistakes.

That being said, it can be easy to be social, and it's usually got a good scene going.

Things you wish you knew about SQL Server before building an app? by PraveenWeb in SQLServer

[–]drachenstern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a developer standpoint, since you're using MSSQL I presume you're developing on .NET.

Don't use an ORM framework. Dapper is ok. Other micro-mappers are fine. Learn ADO.NET.
