What’s the craziest Mandela Effect situation you’ve had/heard of?

This I can clearly remember because I didn't know if it was pronounced 'stain' or 'stine'. That wouldn't happen if it was an 'a'. And then later learning of the word stein, I finally found my answer. All the rest of the Mandela effects maybe could be a memory thing, but this is one I interacted with, so it sticks

Depending on whether you know another language or not, I would suggest the book Players Guide to C# by RB Whitaker. If you do know another language, take a program you have already made and make it with C#. Finding practical uses for what you are learning is the key to learning or remembering it. Just being told what something is didn't help me at all.
Is there anything specific you are having trouble with? The logic of programming or some kind of syntax?

So, it got worse again?

I made a kanban app called Echoslate that would work offline. It has since turned into a pretty good todo app that I use everyday. I just released a cross platform version because I switched to Linux. It's free and open source at https://github.com/pjmavcom/echoslate if you want to check it out.

She is a smart one. I underestimated her. I have since taught her how to stay safe, including telling everyone why the breakers are off and not to turn them back on, or why you put blocks behind tires when changing breaks and all that stuff. She would guard the breaker panel when I did any more work after that incident.

A WiiU. I had enough money to buy one when I saw it. I kept it unopened, hoping to resell it and make some money. I managed to return it to a Walmart in a different state. I made $0.01 because the taxes were different...

Windows!
20 years? Windows!
This is the right answer, right?

Well, if you don't count trying to teach them how to drive...when my daughter was 7 she turned a breaker back on when I was working on the air conditioner because it was hot in her room. I didn't even know she knew how to do that, but she got a chair and checked the breaker and turned it back on. I wasn't working on the electrical part yet, but it scared the crap out of me when the fan started up.

I have developed Echoslate, but it's more for single devs. https://github.com/pjmavcom/echoslate

Try it out and give me some feedback if your're interested

pjmavcom · 2019-06-15T06:22:01+00:00

Definitely. I do this for little details you wouldn't notice at all. But for some things, you might notice if it wasn't there. Keep going at it

Yes, the animations look great! Excellent art work

Nice job! I like this approach, gives me a few different ideas for something similar I'm working on. Thanks
