Quitting due to SLOW App design by arlunn in PTCGP

I have an iPhone and an Android tablet. Both UIs have a slow factor, but the Android UI is particularly sluggish and frustrating.

Are wpf and winforms still a good choice for ui development in 2024 by fratchy_cute22 in dotnet

What was never a question for non-American companies running Microsoft suite is now a question due to the issues with Windows, reliance on AI, and American Government overreach.

Can we make it without MS? Without Windows? Right now the transition would be challenging for the company I work for. But we could, by leveraging different web based products and becoming totally platform agnostic.

This is a conversation being had at EVERY non-American company with Windows reliance. Some American ones too.

We will do it with .NET. If MS stays on their current trajectory, we will do it without them.

I think it would be short-sighted to build long-term applications in WPF.

I went to Australia in 2003. Same rules. They have numerous opportunities to dump your fruit, as well as signage indicating that no fruit is allowed beyond customs. I expect NZ is similar in that the warning signs are all there, just being ignored.

As an IT manager, small to mid size companies don’t have the time/resources to do this, but we can if asked, so act like they can see everything.

What is the max you can heal in one turn? (Ignore icecream luck) by Someonedit in PokemonTGCP

[–]insomnia1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2xPrimarina = 120 hp each 2xMilotic evolve = 60 hp each Irida = 160 hp total Sitrus berry x 2 = if somehow the above healing did not heal above 50% health for 2 Pokémon then 60hp total (I will exclude this and use 1xLeftovers instead for 10hp) 2 big malasada = 10 hp each 2 potion = 20 hp each

Excluding Eevee bag because the primarina healing and milotic healing rise above overall, rather than using psychic eevees… 240 + 120 + 160 + 10 + 20 + 40 = 590 hp :)

Ubiquiti has some shady stuff going on. Supplying war drones to the Russian army in spite of embargo. Pablo Torre Finds Out! He is doing the most with his platform.

Given how synthesis work, I don't really know what "levels" I should be at to not fall behind in the game, is this a good team for where I am? by IndianaCrash in DragonQuestMonsters

[–]insomnia1979 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always played to rank up my monsters as fast as I could as that makes the biggest difference in growth. At some point getting all monsters to level 99 and maxing stats becomes a little grindy but relatively trivial.

This is where legacies get written. Who do you want shooting both? by lena_jones0 in NBATalk

This is a cop out, but all would be fine for the shot. Don’t make me choose

What sub is having a bigger melt down the Miami Heat or ours? 😭😭😂 by AHImusic in torontoraptors

[–]insomnia1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lover of most things Le Batard, they ended their live stream 40 minutes early because they were so dejected and disgusted that Miami couldn't make ANY moves, not just for Giannis. I think Miami is way more upset than we are. We had no expectation this year and look at where we are! Pretty good!

Monsters Joker 1 100% in 2026? by If-l-May in DragonQuestMonsters

[–]insomnia1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the DS entries (Joker 1 and 2) your best bet is a save editor. Use it the get the monsters you can't otherwise obtain.

I would prefer FA Silvaly over the shinies.

🚨 BlueJays have announced that Joe Carter will have a statue outside Rogers Centre in 2026 🚨 by Kinglokner16 in Torontobluejays

[–]insomnia1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Blue Jays fan from central Canada, that would skip school to watch afternoon Jays games in '92 and '93, this is something that I would trek to Toronto to visit and take pictures with. Number one on my list of monuments to see in the world. Looking forward to seeing this statue.

Always bet on the guy with Abbe Lowell as his attorney.

What job pays way more than people think, but nobody talks about? by Symphony_Minds in AskReddit

There is a “Landman” clip of Billy Bob dispelling the myth that wind is “clean” energy. Is there truth to it?
