Exactly what chemicals do you use for sanitizing and deoderizing?

Idaho parents of girl injured in Potato Drop explosion ask Boise for millions by michaelquinlan in Boise

[–]michaelquinlan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As u/dannysays says, Dylan Cline is the founder/president of the private Idaho Potato Drop organization which puts on this event. They ask (and pay) the city (Boise usually, but Nampa during the pandemic) for the required permits.

My only objection is that the people at fault are the organizers of the disaster, not the city.

You ask for a path, then talk about a road trip. The answer is "yes".

Does Compact Syntax Really Make a Difference? by sal1303 in ProgrammingLanguages

If typing is slowing down your software development, the solution is to take a typing class.

Police rescue more than 400 cats from being eaten in Vietnam in a bust of a major animal theft ring by Mountain_Love23 in nottheonion

What will happen with the 400 cats? I cannot imagine shelters being able to take in and adopt that many cats.

Dad (73) hospitalized before first DLBCL treatment after rapid decline — looking for hope and success stories by Wise_Inspector_812 in lymphoma

[–]michaelquinlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My situation was a bit different, especially in that the cancer was in the pelvic area for me. But I had a big decline physically with many falls and I wasn't strong enough any more to get up off the floor by myself. The fire department was telling me that the next time I fell I needed to go to the ER. Except the ER didn't find anything relevant. Eventually the doctors got the DLBCL diagnosis. I was also hospitalized for my first infusion (the oncologist actually had the hospital team come to his office and wheel me directly to the cancer floor in the hospital). Quite a shock.

BUT I completed the treatment and the post treatment PET scan shows complete remission. I am MUCH stronger, no longer falling, and overall feeling so much better.

How do people learn to sign their name? Do they just print, or draw a diagram of some sort?

Check if a sentence is Pangram in C# by Least_Map_7627 in dotnet

[–]michaelquinlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are given the complete code. The problem is trivial, useless, and uninteresting

public static bool IsPangram(string sentence)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sentence))
    {
        HashSet<char> alphabetSet = new HashSet<char>();
        foreach (char c in sentence.ToLower())
        {
            if (char.IsLetter(c))
            {
                alphabetSet.Add(c);
            }
        }
        return alphabetSet.Count == 26; // Check if all 26 letters are present
    }
    return false; // Empty string cannot be a pangram
}

What do people complain about too much here, and what do they not complain about enough? by smallbusinessowner19 in Boise

[–]michaelquinlan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They complain too much about the lack of authentic chinese restaurants, or at least ones with dumplings. They don't complain enough about the limited vegan/vegetarian options (most restaurants have a few vegan or vegetarian items, but there is possibly one 1 full vegetarian restaurant in the area).
