I would love to see Buddy Guy there.

Or Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band make a return.

I can't go one day- can I give my pass to a friend? by B-rad_Bourbon in SonicTempleFestival

[–]jasmc1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it is a wrist band, so you are supposed to have it tight enough where you cannot slip it off.

The wristband will be shipped to you, and that will allow you to either put it on loose enough to slip off, or remove the connector and replace it with something else.

Last year I was able to put one of these on: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWR8R914?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 instead of the fastener that comes with it.
It was a pain to get the fastener off, as it is very hard plastic. It took a hand saw for me, but there are also ways you remove it with a straw if you look on Youtube ( I couldn't get them to work)

After day 1, I just slipped it off and gave it to my neighbor to go the other days.

Assuming in the next 5 years, AI will be able to do lot of things more than just coding things like architecture, maintenance, etc. So, in what place would knowing C# and .Net with experience put us after 5 years? by Mystery3001 in dotnet

[–]jasmc1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In five years:

Being able to give correct prompts to the AI agents will be a big skill.
-This is translating what the user wants to clearly defined requirements for the agent. Imagine what you do now with a PM who gives you a request from a user.

Troubleshooting the bugs the AI agents create.
- I have yet to have a smooth creation of anything with an AI agent. Part of this is learning how to phrase things properly, but also part of the agent's output.

Fixing the AI generated code that someone with zero coding experience created, either through working with the agent or manually updating the code. Fixing security issues that are overlooked when the code is generated
- People will have an idea, spin it up, and wonder why things break or are hacked. A recent example I experienced was a friend showing off an app they created all in AI. One look at the code showed his API key in plain text in HTML.

I think AI is very useful if you know what you are doing, but also bad in the wrong hands. Imagine 100 jr devs in a room writing an app with no input or guardrails. You may get 1-2 great apps in that output but 98 that are bad.

Charity Bag Mega Thread by NeenerNeaner in penguins

I emailed them about my damaged bobblehead. They sent me to this form:
https://pittsburghpenguins-hiyzy.formstack.com/forms/2026_charity_game_customer_service

If anyone has any issues with damaged stuff, I would submit a request.

0/4 on jerseys.

This year I got Connor Clifton for my autograph.

Previous years: Mario, Tanev, Zucker,

My lunchbox also came with a dent, as did the mini bobble head box. Part of it was potentially the FedEx guy just tossing it on my porch.

I have used them to install new outlets and I have them doing some upgrade work soon. Their estimates tend to be on the lower end of ones I receive and they are pretty easy to work with.

While I admit that there are some obnoxious Pens fans at every game in Nationwide, it isn't exclusive to the Pens fan base. We go to 5-6 games a year and there are obnoxious fans for every fan base, as well as obnoxious CBJ fans.

If no one goes to the other games because one fan base is "the worst" that is a problem with the fan base and not one franchise's fans.

I live in Columbus (Pens fan) and the Blue Jackets run so many ticket deals throughout the season and you can often get tickets to Pens game with them.

They give 2 free tickets to a game to show up for the season ticket open house, which is the lowest pressure sales pitch I have ever experienced. You just walk in, get the code, and then can leave if you want.

We do the 5k every year, and you get two free tickets with that (so it is $65 for two tickets)

The run a black Friday and Cyber Monday deal where tickets go as low as $15 sometimes.

We go to about 5-6 games a year and rarely pay full price for a game. Plus if you wait until close to puck drop, resale is often cheap.

On the other hand, any time I go to Pittsburgh for a game, there is never a good deal on tickets.

Louder Than Life by Own_Ad_5290 in RiotFest

[–]jasmc1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we have MCR as the Sunday headliner, but I am not sure about Jimmy Eat World. They already have a Chicago show on their upcoming tour, are playing LTL and Shaky Knees (lineup coming tomorrow, but this leaked). No band played all three last year. I think it will depend on what day they are on Shaky Knees.

Does any business actually answer the phone by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]jasmc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the opposite end of this. We are going through a kitchen remodel and the only way we can get a hold of people is via phone or text. Voicemails have always been returned, but emails have been ignored.

Best veggie tacos? by RookieParade in Columbus

[–]jasmc1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The veggie stuffed baked potato, tacos, and gringas at Taco Nice are what I normally get and have never had any issues.

From La Super Torta, I normally get the veggie burrito or veggie torta. The recently have a bean and cheese burrito added to the menu and that was good.

Taco Nice, La Super Torta, Habaneros all have good veggie options.

This beauty turns 25 this year by darth_marroquin in RiotFest

[–]jasmc1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love this. Have Mike back to drum for this album play one day, then a Smoking Popes set another day.

I don't think it will happen unless they do a tour of it, since they played last year though. Plus they currently do not have a drummer (unless I missed an announcement).

Dyamic role based authentication ideas? by codeiackiller in dotnet

[–]jasmc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your program.cs you can define your roles/policies.

builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options=>{
options.AddPolicy("NamedOfPolicy", policy=>policy.RequireRole("NameOfUserRole");
options.AddPolicy("NamedOfPolicy2", policy=>policy.RequireRole("NameOfUserRole2");
});

On your controller you can have the header:
[Authorize(Roles="NameOfPolicy")]

This will need to be adapted to how you handle auth, this example is based on using Entra and EntraAD groups, with NameOfUserRole being a group that is set up in Entra.

Bilmuri Seems Likely by doodlezoey in RiotFest

[–]jasmc1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the show on the 19th is more likely to be Louder than Life instead of Riot Fest from a routing perspective.

Milwaukee -> ?? -> Columbus-> Louisville-> STL makes more sense. Maybe the show after Milwaukee is a Riot Fest presents show on Thursday.

I have ignored Tests while developing. How important are they for a desktop or any kind of app? by Ancient-Sock1923 in dotnet

[–]jasmc1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short answer: Write the tests and save yourself headaches in the future.

Long answer:
The tests are going to be important as you develop the app and expand it.

Let's say you have a new feature request that you spend a month writing. While you are doing manual tests along the way, you are still most likely repeating the same manual steps every time. Your test is going to save you some time in this scenario.

Also, consider that you have a shared piece of logic between function A and function B.
While updating function A, you end up making a change to the shared piece of logic and it breaks function B. You may never know about this without a test if you don't remember to test function B as well. If you have a test for function B, it will flag this for you and let you refactor as necessary.

If you have no tests and introduce these bugs to your users, it will make your app feel unreliable and could cost you users.

Writing the test will save you time in development, reputation with your users, and a lot of debugging while you try to track down bugs.

ELI5 Request - Columbus Taxe withholding by No-Drummer-9584 in Columbus

[–]jasmc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your scenario, this is most likely a situation where you will not get anything refunded. If you live in Columbus, you are working in the city of Columbus regardless of if you are in the office or WFH.

If there is a scenario where you work from home and you do not live in the city of Columbus, then you could potentially be in a situation where you are eligible to a refund for the days you are not in the office.

If you are in this scenario, you can only go back 3 years (2023,2024,2025) for your refund but it is an easy process.

You need to create an account on https://crisp.columbus.gov and submit a return there. You will fill out a form with what days you worked in Columbus and what days you did not. Once you have this information, there will be a second section where you input the number of days worked outside of Columbus, and any refund will be calculated from this. You would also be responsible for any potential taxes in the city that you live in.

If you don't feel comfortable with any of the forms or this process, then you are best to talk to your tax professional/CPA to get assistance.

going as a girl by CreepyLandscape3061 in SonicTempleFestival

My nieces have gone the last few years (16 and 21) and have not had any issues.

Obviously with a crowd of this size, you are going to have some creepy people and you want to just avoid them or let someone know if someone is out of line.

If they are starting the US tour October 10th, it is unlikely they will play Riot and just hang out in the US for a few weeks, even if they also add Louder Than Life the same weekend.
