pisses me off

I am with you 100% and the last time i worked on a project where they kept baning on about coding standards, well the job was over engineered and after 2 years a $3m project got thrown in the bin.
This little baby ended up as 12 solutions, not projects, solutions and it took a day of hacking the registry just so you could run a copy on your own PC.
Programing if you are good is an art and not a science.

My nice burr grinder broke some months back and I have been using a yucky rotary blade jobby since. Well not any more!
I took the plunge and dismantled the grinder using cut up bits of offcut plastic to act as mini-leavers to hold the panels apart so I could separate them; usually design of easy to assemble but f'awful to take apart.
The problem was with the switch or, to be precise, the button that activates the switch. I removed said button and repaired the broken mechanism using glue and odd bits of plastic to strengthen the cheaply made and badly designed button.
Re-assembled, plugged in, filled up and *wizzzzzzz* I have top quality coffee properly ground and passing through my poor body.

MacGyver would have used a chewing gum and a paper clip.

I do know the difference between an angle grinder and a coffee grinder.

Are you allowed to fix things these days? I thought it was compulsory to ask why it doesn't work in QA and then get someone to buy you a new one? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Last time I asked anything in QA, I was told that I must be a total newb not to know the answer and then I was given an answer that bore little, if any, relevance to the question I had asked.
I won't say who that was...

I'm guessing you're referring to the question from last October? You've posted two more questions since then; the last one has no comments or answers, and the one before has an answer that "looks likely".

If the answer was correct but not helpful at all, I think I know who it was.

If you want I can send you a couple of link to how to not void your warrenty stickers while still opening the case! When you do something like that (fix things) that are broken I find a sense of acheivement course through me. If you do a fix for a friend you can usually get several drinks out of it!

As the grinder is at least 8 years old I fink the warranty isn't an issue

Well DoneTM!
I suppose you'll be wanting a glass of gin, now? Or was that what gave you the guts to take it apart?

Pffft! MacGyver would've turned it into a car.
That runs on solar power.

@Th3F3aRR - where's the FSOW OTD?
Not that I can solve the damn things, but...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What's Going on of the Day?
I am not quite sure if this is a rant or a question...
The "CP featured article area" has lately been flooded with IoT[^] articles. Nice, but I wonder if this is due to a huge increase in influx or if there is some Maunderistic [or such] editorial decision behind this. (I also wonder if I should be looking for a new job.)
Life is too shor

|

It get's worse, under the Java tab I just saw one of my articles as top of the feature list. This thing is really broken!

It's my Little Brother[^].
Well he was my little brother, he's somewhat outgrown me now.

Heros are the people who go where others won't, do what others can't, speak when others stay silent.
Buy your brother a large drink next time you see him and tell him he really is a hero but he'll always be a little feck to you

So he's PompeyFour?

Absolutely a hero!
Sitting and listening to the chap afterwards was also incredibly kind - it bought a tear to my eye reading the article.
What a fantastic man!
