Cancer Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 More signs of 2020, holiday season chapter: You decide to bake a batch of gingerbread, and when you go into the staples cupboard (where the flour, sugar, shortening, etc are) you also find a half full 1.5L bottle of vodka.

Old Man Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 The point is, it was in the staples cupboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 And only half the bottle remained. The decision to put the vodka in the staples cupboard was not made by me, but in these times I am not going to argue with it, either.

Cancer Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 There is no 2020 soccer thread, so I put this here... In the conference final (winner advances to the MLS Cup final), down 0-2 in the 74th minute, Seattle wins 3-2 in stoppage time to advance.

Old Man Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Man you need to put up a trigger warning before posting C code here. Now I'm having flashbacks of troubleshooting string pointer problems in the computer lab at 2 AM. Also you might want to escape the single quote in the third line, I can't remember whether C reacts to those or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been over 15 years since I've done any C++, let alone ANSI C, but that snippet of code ran OK when I posted it in July 1985.

Cancer Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Finally got the tube feeder put back up yesterday. There'd been an infectious disease outbreak among pine siskins up in British Columbia which had come south, and pine siskins have been present in numbers at our bird feeder in the back yard. The recommendation was to take the seed feeders down and keep them down for two weeks, wash them well and disinfect them with bleach water. (Suet feeders could be left up, and we did that.) Last week being insanely busy, as it happened our tube feeders were down for three weeks rather than two. But I finally got them reassembled, stocked one and hung it out there. The juncos were the first to find it and seemed quite pleased at the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
