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,

Too zen for me to ken. 
If the chicken led to eggs, which led to dinosaur gingerbread, I could see it.
But I don't see the path from chicken meat to dinosaur gingerbread.

I was a Calvin prototype, because I kept making dinosaurs (sometimes T-Rexes) during art in grade 2. The teacher must have found it incredibly tedious. 
Those are chicken nuggets? I don't know if they existed when I was 5. I never had 'em, but gingerbread are a big Scandi thing. The image isn't just zen, but a good Rorschach test.

Considering what they put in chicken nuggets they are probably illegal in europe

Like Greg, I've never seen them in "real life" - ads on TV don't count.
When I was a kid chicken came in a chicken-shaped lump, often with giblets in, sometimes with feathers on.

When I lived in Turkey they came with heads on as well. If you were very squeamish the butcher would wrap the head in a paper bag.

My mother used to make Brawn[^] from time to time, so you'd open the fridge to get milk for coffee, and there'd be a pigs head staring at you ...

Fridge? Ha! If we wanted something kept cool, it was put on the kitchen outside windowsill. (During the summer, we didn't buy stuff that needed to be kept cool; milk was delivered in the morning and was warm by lunchtime.) We did have a fridge, but it didn't work so we just used it as a cupboard. So: "a fridge? You were lucky; there were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road."

It seems so useful, i just can't stand the syntax. I couldn't even tell you why except I can't get my head around it. Just give me C# or something with a Shell object.

I have the same problem. I don’t know if it’s the pipeline, the “you can do it like this or that”, or the feeling like stuff is barely bolted together. It just feels off.
Making things worse, a significant part of my current job depends on it.

same here, I keep trying to learn it but it just doesn't seem to sink in properly. I did manage to create a small script recently when moving from VS2017 to VS2019, which upgraded all my C++ projects, and tidied up the rest. If only I could expand on what I learned.

Powershell is very useful. It is a major tool in our shop. Mostly used for pipeline processes and deployments, etc.
I think the general consensus for most people is that you get better at PS, but you don't ever "like" it.

Has it just not been posted yet? Understandable, just curious.

It takes the hamsters a couple of days to get the list together - it'll be up early next week, it usually is.
