Huh. Close enough.

@bjb568 You may have a dental disease, infectious agents (i.e., bacteria, fungi, viruses), foreign bodies (primarily occurring in outdoor animals), weak immune system, chronic steroid use, chronic pneumonia, chronic vomiting, chronic inflammation of the ear, or cancer.

bjb568

I'm not an outdoor animal. No steroids. Not vomiting yet. My ear feels fine. Maybe cancer.

J. Musser

12:21 AM

@bjb568 Cats may get cancer from staring at lcd screens all day, and not eating their doctor recommended diet.

Infectious agents and a weak immune system usually go together.

Foreign bodies also can affect indoor cats, as in household dust (which can cause a stuffed, or runny nose as well as other allergies)

A bamboo patch.

user157982

1:48 AM

About all I want to do is figure out how to grow cabbage in a closed room, but that doesn't seem like it should be too complicate

J. Musser

@nil All a bamboo patch takes is some roundup, a chainsaw, and a lawnmower. Very easy to kill.

user157982

I was going to say, you might be missing a step.

J. Musser

@nil Or try solarization, which is cutting it off at ground level, and laying out a clear plastic tarp(s), over the entire area, and leave for months.

user157982

Leave for months, come back, the cabbage cries behind the door, "Please, let me out."

J. Musser

Or try tarping, which is similar, but uses black plastic to block out the sun; better in hot, sunny regions.

Music in the Parks is a day-long or two-day festival for student choral, orchestral, and band ensembles, held annually across the United States. Music groups perform before adjudicators who rate the ensemble in the morning, and then spend the day at an amusement park. The day culminates with an awards ceremony. Awards can be given to either a single player or a whole ensemble. The festivals are organized by the Educational Programs Network. == Company Information == The program was first founded in 1981 by Dr. James R. Wells. The Educational Programs Networks hosts over 200,000 music students each...

@bjb568 What classes are you taking?

user157982

@hichris123 There is a biology site, so if you're good, you could help out there.

@Jan it's deleted, but someone posted a comment and I can't see it, can you share it? I'm curious..

@Vogel612 it might sound like that from reading the title only that's true - but I added all the required tags to put it in the right context and I showed my work around to solve it because I couldn't find it in any msdn docs - maybe it just doesn't exist? A no would have been a valid answer ;-)

@Marwie Auto-deleted as in by Community User since it's a negative score question that's closed?

Marwie

@unihedron exactly

Unihedron

I'm not sure. You could ask a new question, but be careful. Asking questions is hard, make it count.

Marwie

@Unihedron absolutely aware of that - I know that meta question. But reposting the same question just twice doesn't make much sense to me. I mean if the community thinks it's not worth it let it be.

But seen that it has been auto-deleted because of a doubtful downvote, I'd just like to have it again reviewed to have a chance to undelete.

Unihedron

I can't see it - I'm not a privileged user. But the downvote tooltip says:

> This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful

^ So maybe if you do repost, fix those.

@Qantas94Heavy thank you

Unihedron

@Qantas94Heavy Great example. They really should give more concrete and understandable examples in the help center. The XY Problem is a good read as well.

@Unihedron I'm willing to learn - just read your link - interesting text. Maybe I nailed it too much on the technique to solve the issue. I could repost a new question with it opened up a little. However the technique wouldn't be the wrong one if the keyword just existed. I did quite some research on binding, but it remains a "does it exist or not" one. It's clear to me that I'd have to take down another road if it does not and I was prepared to accepd a simple "no" as an answer.

Unihedron

@Marwie I see. I usually recommend not-question-worthy questions to be asked in a relevant chat room instead since you can have a better discussion.

Marwie

@Unihedron I let the question-worthy out of this - SO helped me to nail down some quite specific problems. But more than 80% of the SO questions that really are helping me being efficient where the dump stupid simple ones asking for "How do I this or that in c#" - the question for a simple example for simple thing to do. I wouldn't have posed the question if I didn't find a clear answer by doing research in msdn, google and stackoverflow before.

Unihedron

Great!
