Yeah, such an important skill and many people miss it... 
Maybe they should code a little in Piet[^]. It doesn't get more abstract than Mondriaan 
On a side note, one of the windows in our building has a sticker of part of Mondriaan's Victory Boodie Woogie

Even that's too specific for my tastes.
I'd prefer something along the lines of
public void DestroyLocation(latitude, longitude, radius)
|

How about something that could take out that pesky driver in front of me.
public void DestroyLocation(currentlatitude, currentlongitude, direction, velocity, radius)

I think you might need a somewhat accurate timestamp too; else if there is a time delay of even a few 100 milliseconds, you might instead destroy yourself.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

That seems awfully specific as well!
public void DestroyStuff(stuff)
|
|
|
|
|
Why stop there? We're on a roll...
public void Stuff(action, latitude, longitude, radius)

Actually the method would be called "Destroy" and the class, derived from the class "Target", would be "City", "Bridge", "ToyotaPickup" or whatever.

Moderators, please direct me to the proper group to discuss domain name registrations.
I looked at the various lists here and didn't see anything immediately obvious.
I will happily move this topic to the right place; just don't know at this moment.
Short version
Last month I paid company #2 to transfer my domains to themselves.
Company #2 included an extra year of registration with their transfer fee.
Today I see several E-Mail messages. From them I learned that, last month...
- Company #1 did not allow the transfers
- The names expired (two weeks ago)
- They (company #1) demanded $191.88 to renew them (which I paid)
Company #2 says that this, if legal, is unethical.
Ideas from experts are welcome.

The last question was over a year ago and it was VB related

Most registrars these days have what's called a registrar lock, so that one can't transfer your domains. It's supposedly done to increase security.
EPP Status Codes | What Do They Mean, and Why Should I Know? - ICANN[^]
That being said, all you have to do is log into company #1, unlock your domains, and then company #2 can transfer them. It's just one extra step. As far as the expired domains, pay your bills man. Let's be real. Most companies will hold off on doing anything if they expect payment. Company #2 is just saying that to get a sale. Just be happy registrars tend to give a grace period these days for a few weeks, so you were able to get them back.

Now I'm waiting to the upgrade to remove all those scheduler entries I had to disable to stop W10 to update suddenly...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

This is just such a weird strategy. I'm outa here anyway. I am moving the household to Ubuntu and so far my experience and theirs (my partner) has been entirely satisfying. I am sure there are glitches to come but the people are back in charge.
