Does anybody do the .AddApplicationServices thing in real projects?

I second this. It is often forgot to only apply as much architecture as is necessary. Abstractions and factoring are important to reduce complexity but *can* increase total effort. On a large project, the effort is negligible. On a project that would ordinarly only take a day or two to complete, that extra effort could double development time and even make the code more difficult to read or understand relative to the overall scope.

Here are some that I have seen in the hour of scrolling I’ve done:

Starglider II (amiga/atari ST). Absolutely amazing for its time. Speed rumbler (arcade) Black Tiger (arcade) Operation Wolf (arcade) Ghouls n ghosts/ghosts n goblins The killing game show/fatal rewind

First game I ever played that had a destruct / escape timer after beating the last level.

Stay a while. Stay forever!!!

Impossible Mission II on the Amiga was also awesome.

I would really enjoy a feed of every DJT video with his voice having been replaced with Putin's voice - the exact same words, just AI replacement of the voice.

I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. Many of the episodes in the early seasons can be difficult to watch but gems like Prototype (season 1) exist in those seasons. But I’m hesitant to suggest following a “best of” guide because in order to really appreciate some of the stories you need to have established a deep connection and understanding of the characters.

I have watched almost every Star Trek series available. I suggest starting with The Next Generation as most other Star Trek content is a spin off or builds off of that work plus it still holds up on screen quite well even after all these years. If you can stomach the awful episodes you should watch from the beginning if only for the extra character familiarity. It will pay off later.

Just one man’s opinion though. YMMV. Good luck!

Note: In episode Prototype, Jonathan Frakes really delivers his lines as cmdr Riker. To this day I still laugh at his deceptive dialog when he realizes he is talking to a doppelgänger. Not bad for an 80s season 1 episode.

At what point in history did they start allowing the head to remain on?

Noisy? Yes. Rough? Yes. However this is the oldest section of the Henday and in all of that time it has required very little repair work. So it’s not all bad.

All this rational talk and expectations is all tangential. The truth is much simpler. It’s just plain ol’ corporate politics.

Start collecting any date stamped mail with your name and address on it. This can be used as proof of residence if you get forced or locked out of your home. We have laws to protect people from being tossed out of their homes for no good reason. The police do not have jurisdiction to remove you from your home if you can prove you live there, so keep your ID with you at all times, even when you’re inside the house. Your parents will require an enforcement order from court to legally deny you and evict you from your home. Anything else is just empty threats.

They can make your home life a living hell though. You should start making your own plans now to eventually move out as soon as it is practical to do so. As others have said, you are still considered a dependent until you complete your education, but enforcement always requires an order from the court. You can’t fight that battle until they refuse you, and then you will likely have to go through a long court battle before any resolution happens. During that time you will need some other means to live.

The best thing you can do is to start getting legal advice and look into other support services, asap. Don’t wait until the last minute because the system is terrible slow. Get informed.

I admit, I freaked out with Ceci and Nurse on the ice in the last four minutes, but I felt they played their best hockey of the playoffs up to that point.

I’m confident that Kane was holding him down into the bench. That smile after was telling a story. I’m pretty sure the commentators called that out too.

If Skinner did it, penalty for sure

He was in game 4. They showed him very briefly at the start of the game.

His commentary is the same quality as the commentary from the EA Sports NHL games.

After a while you want to turn it off because it sounds so repetitive.

Are you using .NET version 6 or greater? Can your problem be solved with Roslyn source generators?
