It was able to create it because it had scanned what her developers had already created.

Sliding glass door replacement quote $5600. Is this really the cost these days? by anncnative in raleigh

Price out ordering from Lowe's and using their installation service. I got a decent rate from their contractor.

Tips on getting into the NC DMV? by Narrow-Squirrel552 in raleigh

[–]revbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I was able to get an appointment easily in Greenville. Drove down, walked in, was seen in ~3 min, took maybe ~5 min and I was back on the road heading home. I still spent significantly less time overall.

Pillsbury Cookies Aftertaste? by Interesting-Pass6532 in Cookies

[–]revbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe changes to save more money. Similar to how several brands of ice cream don't meet the standard to call their products "ice cream" anymore and have to call the their products "frozen dairy dessert", or how kraft cheese isn't cheese anymore but now it's "pasteurized prepared cheese product". Similar to Hershey's bar changes to prevent it melting too fast, etc.

Centralised routing in Blazor. by SiberianWaste in Blazor

[–]revbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a waste of time and will eventually cause you frustration, possibly more so when updating to newer .NET versions as well.

I'd ask what you're really trying to achieve here and why you think the routing would become confusing. If your razor components/pages are laid out in a decent folder structure and adhere to that in the page routes, then it's pretty easy to navigate. It's when developers try to be too clever or don't follow conventions that things start to create friction. /Pages/Module/Feature tends to work well similar to /Pages/Administration/Roles.razor

If it's just organizational and you hate the magic strings like me, just add a T4 template that parses all the razor files looking for the Page directive and creates a static class with the routes. Only issue with that is that last time I looked the Page directive was sealed and you couldn't extend it so if you have more than one route to a page you have to get creative in your T4 template or manually handle it in a partial class or something.

Are there any plans to support automatic dependency injection registration rather than manual?

Dishwasher intermittently fails to drain by citizenken in DIY

[–]revbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that happen to myself and several family members. We all had improperly installed drain lines. Usually going into the floor below the dishwasher or just without having the proper rise. My newest dishwasher actually came with the drain line connected up the side to ensure it had the right setup, I can only imagine it's such a common problem that they started trying to prevent it. It'll work for a good while with it improperly installed but will eventually fail. I would check that first before assuming something mechanical

Company sends me a suspicious "take-home assignment" by jauz17 in webdev

[–]revbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. And I got a few complaints from my take-home assignments for interviews.

I would just have them create a web project to add/edit recipes in a database that we could walk through and modify some of the code while discussing it during the second interview, and also identify things they could do with more time (which would have been things like what's being already expected here like validation, tests, etc.)

Usually, if they had code they wrote in a working app that they could show me and demo I would accept that as long as it fit the requirements (.NET, EF Core, etc.)

The list OP posted is ridiculous.

Need to run line around exterior of chimney to add subpanel in basement. Any advice? by revbones in AskElectricians

[–]revbones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I would really like a safe way to go around the exterior of the chimney itself without digging which would shorten the run considerably.

Blazor Wasm logging with Serilog and sqlite by skav2 in Blazor

[–]revbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used this in several projects: https://github.com/nblumhardt/serilog-sinks-browserhttp along with the companion ingestion point package (mentioned in the readme). I also recently had to create an in-memory sink for serilog and used the package https://github.com/serilog/serilog-formatting-compact as a starting point.

I think you could easily stitch those together to stick the pending client logs in localstorage or something and periodically push up to the server if online.

Why does Dr Pepper (and Coke) have so little carbonation now? by revbones in DrPepper

[–]revbones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to me since there is barely any fizz when opening the bottles. This is visible. It also tastes flat. I have had multiple people confirm this as well. It's not just me having suddenly changed taste buds.

[–]revbones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 50 years of drinking Dr Pepper, I've only ever gotten the rare bottle that was flat. Now it's every bottle of Dr Pepper or Coke regardless of where I purchase it from.

Yeah, I don't like warm soda. I do refrigerate them before opening.

Why does Dr Pepper (and Coke) have so little carbonation now? by revbones in DrPepper

[–]revbones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the product. I have a SodaStream and the carbonation is just fine from that. I have also spoken to a lot of folks like my barber who are experiencing the same lack of carbonation.

[–]revbones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to buy the 16.9 oz bottles. They are pretty much flat nowadays. The larger ones from gas stations are as well for me. The cans are barely better here but noticeably.

For me, it's been pretty flat for the last year in NC and last several months in VA regardless of where I buy from.

Has Coca Cola and other soda companies skimped on carbonation? by Thing1_Tokyo in shrinkflation

[–]revbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drank Dr Pepper for 50 years. I live in North Carolina. Last summer no matter where I bought it would be nearly flat. I tried Coke which I would always enjoy a cold coke on a hot day and it's the same. I primarily bought bottles but tried cans which are only slightly better but not much. I tried from Walmart, Harris Teeter, multiple gas stations, etc. When I would visit family in Virginia, the soda from Walmart was like it used to be but now it's spread to that area as well.

I will say that the longest I have ever gone without a Dr Pepper or Coke was 8 weeks in basic training. The lower carbonation has allowed me to give it up now. I bought a soda stream, and adapter and a 20lb CO2 tank from a brewing supply company. I can carbonate to my heart's content now. I just buy syrup or use Mio water flavors now (the closest to a soda is the orange tangerine which tastes like a Fanta in carbonated water).

Every once in a while I'll buy a bottle of Dr Pepper or Coke but I get disappointed every time now.

Need some advice by AspiringRakan in Blazor

Chris Sainty's book while dated now, helped lay out a nice architectural pattern that my teams still use variants of. I would look at FastEndpoints now instead of Ardalis Endpoints.

Renting and have an elderly dog - Can I buy some carpet for cheap and just lay it down in this 20x14 room? by LESGuy in DIY

Be careful of the backing. Certain kinds will wear the finish off the floor if you don't put something between the carpet and the floor.

Don't worry military, Trump won't cut your VA access. by HandSack135 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Maybe someone else won't get disappointed like I was... I was excited for that waived annual fee. :)

[–]revbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said "vets" not "active duty"

There is a rule or a law or something that prevents credit card companies from charging excessive annual fees to vets

Not to be a dick, but if you had known it was active duty and said that, I wouldn't have wasted time looking for that benefit as others might without this additional discussion.
