Here honey, here's the color you like, and also I've explicitly selected things you can't shiv me with while I sleep.
See, it's win-win
@JasonC cause they're chained to the kitchen. The knives preferably.
Also, I mean who doesn't want a 12-pack of half-sheet pans

We could probably use that.
I don't. I want a 48-pack.
Go big or go home, I say.
I refuse to believe you actually have room for that many sheet pans in NYC
I have a storage unit. It should have a few cubic feet left in it.
I've always wanted a storage unit with a power supply.
Just enough wattage to run a hot plate and maybe a space heater. Which... I guess is quite a bit really.
Yeah that's like a full 15 amps, heh.
03:20
Just occurred to me that if such things were more common around these parts, they'd be used as grow rooms, and now I understand.
I wish my storage unit had power. Theoretically I could get a light socket -> power outlet adapter, except my lighting fixture gets no power, and I've been playing tag with the electrician there for six years.
Does anybody have any interesting recipes that use a shit load of red miso paste?
Because "1 US shit load" is apparently the smallest unit you can buy.
I have actually never used miso paste in anything. Should probably try it at least once before I die.
I got it because I never used it before either and wanted to use it in a glaze for salmon. Which I did. And it was good. And now I have enough to do it for 3 meals a day every day for the next month.
You should ask on vegetarianism.stackexchange.com - sounds like their kind of thing.

What does grass eat
user202362
soil
Lol, me, vegan.
well, you do live in NYC
@JasonC sunlight, mostly. Negligible amounts of soil.
I'd guess cows eat more soil eating the grass than the grass itself consumes
So you get some soil eating grass, but more eating meat

Q: Did Jon Skeet ever ask a question on any of the stack exchange Q and A sites?

Simba MeekI might earn "the most idiot guy on the universe" badge for this question, not bad eh? Just curious. Did Jon Skeet ever ask a question on any of the stack exchange Q and A sites?

This would've been a stupid question, but it actually isn't rantish and annoyingish or annoyedish so it's fine by me. Ish.
If I have the time I write a SEDE query for that.

for both. I have difficulty to get your rantish criteria captured in query parameters
@bjb568 What's the cat up to these days?
08:52
@bjb is prolly trying hard not to be a pebble.
Last time he posted he boarded a Canadian made plane?
I'm not implying anything but I did warn him ...
@rene Nah don't worry. Cats can land on their feet from high above the ground
I think their survivability actually increases after a certain height threshold
that is because the cat has more time to turn around and get "ready for landing", but it works if you compare a 30cm fall to a 1,5m one, not for a 1000m one.....

Disclaimer: I blame qwer for giving me this idea.
@Telkitty ^ here, I made you a new avatar :P
@Stijn huh? What IDE?
@ShadowWizard Visual Studio. But I think I was mistaken and it should take C# syntax in a C# project, and it gave an error on foo != null for an unrelated reason ("the expression could not be evaluated")
I gave up and put some temporary code in it to simulate the conditional breakpoint
@M.A.R. trivialish
@Stijn yup, C# syntax for me
@Stijn just write into text file
Made 2GB log file once to catch a bug
@Stijn maybe because the vbscript engine is the only one guaranteed to be available on the OS since 1998 so the IDE can reliable take an dependency on it. That is not true for the other languages?
@rene but he was wrong
10:23
Òh, so am I then?
I think at some point in the past it only supported VB syntax
yeah, that is what I thought
When I tried foo IsNot Nothing, it said it didn't understand IsNot, when I tried foo != null it said it couldn't parse the expression
@Stijn isn't it just <> Nothing? What is IsNot?
@rene let me try that, one sec...
10:27
or at least Is Not Nothing
> Error CS1525: Invalid expression term '>'
It's a C# compiler error, so I think it wants C# code
try Is Not Nothing a space between Is and Not
'Is' is not a valid format specifier
hmmm
which version of VS?
2015
stackoverflow.com/questions/32332611/… is for a VB.NET project and says to use the "Is" syntax
github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/7901 could be related to this Roslyn bug, I'm not doing LINQ in the statement but you never know
cause that's the error I'm seeing with C# syntax
10:43
test == null works for me in VS2010
test !=null works as well
Perhaps something to do with the project properties? The project being recognized as C#? (just a guess)
What you try to debug? @Stijn
this is what I get on a c# project: i.sstatic.net/q3Ka2.png
so: works for me, YMMV
