Please assume I just inserted an eyeroll into this laughable nonsense.

You'll find that I'm not the one that brought the ridiculous nonsense to the forum. I just rightfully scoffed at it.

LOL. First of all, there are like 16 people living in New Zealand so obviously it's going to be a lot easier to contain than a country that has multiple cities in the millions. Secondly, China is *KILLING* infected people. If that's the kind of treatment leadership you want then, by all means, get going. Time to step out of whatever echo-chamber bubble you've been living in. You're not even getting half the story. You're getting a distorted 5% of it.

I voted against Trump, but it's posts like this that make me wonder what planet some of you are living on.

Being a high-risk person, because of underlying lung problems (which don't affect me day-to-day, but would sure as sugar be best pals with covid-19), **I'm wishing I lived in New Zealand or China. Their leadership has been much more effective in saving lives.** You must be joking. I mean, you have to be. Right?

Make a flash drive that boots to the memtest86 (or whatever it's called) and let it test your RAM for a while. I've seen quite a few funky PCs fail this test, replace the memory, and problems all gone.

Good story. It's good to see someone who identified the problem and chose to do something about it instead of just saying "well, I can't help it, I have a physical issue so that's why I'm fat". Good for you.

Good stuff. I love it. I do crossfit at least 5 days a week, and what you describe is one of the types of workouts you could potentially see while doing crossfit (which is a bit of everything including barbell movements). I've been going for 9 months now and I have lost 38.5 lbs and am far stronger than I have ever been. I have people stopping me all the time asking what I've been doing because of how I've changed.

Not tech related, but I did find it giggle worthy when the doctor told us that my wife needed T&A. He meant "tonsils and adenoids removal", but I'm very immature :)

I have used the Samsung utility that works with both the EVO and the Pro lines a number of times and it has always worked flawlessly.

I don't use Apple products, but have used a number of these: Amazon.com: Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LR Networks Enterprise Wi-Fi System: Computers & Accessories[^] And they are excellent.

I'm American and I have made no secret of my disdain for mm/dd/yy to friends and co-workers and the problems it causes. In software I always use dates of yyyy/MM/dd or MMM dd, yyyy so there is never ambiguity.

I don't disagree with anything you've written. I frequently have code with LinqToSQL and without. No reason you can't mix in the same project. I just don't get the blanket 'never use it' sentiment that some people have shown.

What's with all the LinqToSQL hatred?

It is frequently mapped to "auto-run" in MMORPGS :)

I use FireFox almost exclusively whether I'm on PC, phone, or tablet. It's not without its quirks, but it's the been the best of any of them for me. Three things that really sold it to me: (1) I DETEST webpages with small font sizes. I look at a computer all day long so my eyes get strained enough as it is, so the last thing I want is to make it worse by straining to read pages with small type. FireFox has a feature that allows you to zoom the text on a webpage without zooming the images so they aren't taking up ridiculous amounts of real estate on a page. I absolute love this feature and it would be very difficult to ever have to give it up. (2) The bookmark syncing across devices in FireFox has worked far better for me than in Chrome. It seemed in Chrome I was having trouble getting bookmarks to show up. (3) Addons. I love that I can install different addons to my android tablet that I cannot install using Chrome. On the cons, FireFox can be a resource hog at times, although it seems to have gotten somewhat better. I'd suggest giving it another try.

Ugh, that's what I get for not reading thoroughly.

In your DataGridView look at the ColumnHeaderMouseClick event. You can gather DataGridView1.SortedColumn.Index to know which column is being sorted on and DataGridView1.SortOrder to see if ascending or descending. Then next time you refill the grid sort on that column and order.

I like .AddWithValue just to save keystrokes, but never noticed any performance difference either way.

What I don't get about the homework beggars is why you would even want someone else to do this for you. If you can't do these sorts of things on your own then why are you even wasting your own time? You will have no chance of ever being successful professionally unless you can do these things yourself, so why waste anyone's time? Find a different career path as this one obviously doesn't suit you.
