1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I just spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out why a very simple Linq2Sql, basically "where...foreach...update record...submit changes" wasn't working.
Turns out Linq2Sql breaks badly and very very silently when you override GetHashCode and Equals in the class.
I'm rather annoyed right now.

Mira Furlan: Babylon 5 and Lost actress dies at 65[^]
She had some great lines: Quote: The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make this station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star-stuff. We are the Universe, made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And, as we have both learned, sometimes the Universe needs a change of perspective.

A friend of mine, an avid B5 watcher, made the observation a few years back that there were a number of actors/actresses from that show who passed away not that long after the show concluded. Granted, it's now been a while, so obviously more and more are getting older, but his point was - Star Trek was on in the late 60s, and so far of the main cast, we've only lost Scotty, Bones, and Spock. B5 has had more actors die, and at a much younger age.
Not talking about those who played minor parts like Majel Barrett or Grace Lee Whitney. I don't know enough about B5 to even tell who was one of the "major" characters or not.
[Edit]
Some people are even discussing a "Babylon 5 curse". :-/

If you get the chance, it was worth watching - it was one of the shows that started the transition from 60/70/80's style "it must be all sorted in an episode, two at most" to the more modern and realistic "long story arc" version that gave us shows like The Expanse, Stranger Things, GoT, etc.
It had problems, and some (very) weak episodes but it was damn good for the time!

At least a proud legacy - a major player in what may end up being the best Sci-Fi series, ever.

... who the heck thought this was a good idea?

OK, so you don't want to have the vaccine. I get that - you read too much Twatter and Farcebook and believe everything you are told without any critical thought about what they say. That is your right.
But trying to prevent others getting it ... that's close to attempted murder.

Sorry to inform you, but until this panicademic, it was well documented by the CDC, the WHO, and other heath organizations that mask wearing doesn't protect you from viral infections and several studies, including a recent one by Danish heath researchers, have shown no statistical difference in infection rate of people who do and don't wear masks.
Instead, masks are actually face diapers that prevent the uncouth from sneezing, coughing, or otherwise spitting on others. In this regard they do work.

Which was exactly his point if you reread his post : By not wearing a mask, you have higher stakes of infecting others, which they may die of.

I'll tell my dentist and staff they're idiots for wearing masks and goggles because you say so.

Hey, if they told the world to wear pots and pans on their heads in order to stay alive, they would, and then they would call the others who don't comply, idiots and murderers.
I can't go much more with this topic without flaming someone, and that is what got me banned before.

What you say may be so - take the anti-maskers and anti-vaxers, for example - with the tin-foil wrapped around there heads.

I am 0% vaccinated, and it looks like I won't be getting this life saving vaccination anytime soon (see NY state government and covid vaccination supply). So, it must not be that important, really.
