Pretty irrelevant, you can exceed the speed limit easily and safely in a 1.0l Ford Ka. Having a crazy car is for the fun of getting from 0 to 60 and round corners in a much more exciting way, not pure speed (you can't legally exercise the full speed of even a basic car on public roads).

I think that was my point.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

A "crisis" would be indicated by a lightning decision made on a spur of the moment - this motor swap has been in the planning stages for more than a year.

So you mean the plate should be 427 MLC

We've got a guy in our lot with the plate MMLCRX on his MX-5.

Sweet! That should be plenty of horsepower for towing your RV when you retire.

I doubt he'd ever retire - from coding. Maybe retire from a full time job. But he's the kinda guy who'd take Visual Studio to his grave.

There's a shooter cocktail of that name. But I believe you don't drink.

Here you go: (the link won't work, so you need to replace those *s with the proper letters)
http://www.1001cocktails.com/recipes/mixed-drinks/100100/cocktail-adios-motherf*****.html[^]
I made this for a friend's birthday party. It was the shooter drink for the night. Was a huge hit!
- 1/2 oz vodka
- 1/2 oz rum
- 1/2 oz tequila
- 1/2 oz gin
- 1/2 oz blue curacao liqueur
- 2 oz sweet and sour mix
- 2 oz soda (7-up, sprite)
We did not drink it in glasses, instead made it in bulk and everyone had multiple shots.

That's half a TGV[^] and half a ladies drink.
By coincidence TGV[^] is quite a fitting name.
Also known in Australia as rocket fuel, but that recipe is without the blue wimp juice.

YEah, I'm aware.

cid = cubic inch displacement?
We've been metric all my life, so I've only ever seen cc (cubic centremeters) or liters displacement.

That's a hair under 7 liters

My first WPF/MVVM based application is ready. Only glitch is that I have to send entire PasswordBox since Password is not a DependencyProperty. I don't really care much about that one odd instance.
Time to add "WPF (Beginner, Self-taught)" to resume.

Yes, I am aware of techniques. But I do not really bother. It is OK for me have one instance. I am not a purist after all.

|
|
Do we see an article on the horizon?
|
|
|
|
|
Not really. It is linked to the product we work on and I am bound not to share technical details to outside World. However, I will think of something if I can.

A week or two ago I posted a query about which was best, LoadFooById(Int64) or LoadFoo(SomeParentObject). Really it was more just a passing question because I had read it on the Internet as someone ranting against the later suggesting that the former is the better approach. Well, I tend to do both depending on the when's and the where's and well, last night, at a soft product launch, LoadFooById bit me hard.
I needed to convert a three part string into the respective Id values. So I returned Tuple<int, int,="" int="">, what could go wrong with that! Obviously, we all know. Yes, the other solution is a simple version with Just id values
public FooResult{
OrderId
CustomerId
AsteroidId
}
But, the misses the validation which is equally important so I fully hydrated objects.
Its funny, with years of experience, you take short-cuts on personal projects, and they always bite you just like they did when you were just out of college!
BTW, I had to refund three customers for their asteroids so this mistake actually had a financial impact.
And if anyone mentions that I should have a unit test in place, well, um, *&#* you : ) [can a kid sister read gibberish]
