You’re totally welcome. Btw, Richard was referring to some posts that were deleted. Was a different dude he was talking about, promise.

Also there a ton of functional concepts worth chatting about. Maybe it’s my C background but I love the functional paradigm more than OOP. It’s like the cool kid that nobody talks about.

I will be getting back after I digest the material you provided.
Like going back to school.

Still working, javascript/React app - not impressed with either javascript OR react.

New job?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Yeah, starting in 2022...
The hardest part of the new job is to get the other devs to comment their code...

If that's seriously the hardest part of the new job...you're doing better than most. Wise are those who avoid incurring the wrath of JSOP.
And - good to hear from you.

So am I. I’m still writing code for my game with GDI based graphics. No intent to hijack Original Poster’s thread. I think there are plenty of other silent CP users following the daily CP activity.

Of all the people who have left Code Project over the years, you're probably the one I have thought about the most.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You didn't think about me?

Hey John, glad you're still here. The place has been rather ... bland without you .

Mate - good to hear from you again.

My wife said "The kettle's not working!" – She's been claiming that it's getting old for a while.
It's a "cordless" electric kettle, which can be lifted off an always-plugged-in base. Usually the on/off switch dies or the base connector wears out.
The first thing I did was to rotate it on its base. She said "I tried that"
Then I pushed the plug all the way back into the wall and it came to life.

Reminds me of my first site visit on my first job. I was asked to look at a computer that wouldn't turn on.
I'm sure you can guess the resolution!

Sometimes just pushing the plug in doesn't work. I've taken to unplugging and then plugging back in to overcome this issue.

To be honest, I did that next to see if I needed to replace the outlet that it was plugged into. "Just how loose is this?"
I should also check the outlet's temperature after the kettle boils.

I was at a friend's house and he was saying that the TV was not working. Since I have a BSEE, could I take a look at it?
- I tried to turn it on. No response.
- I followed the power cord to an extension cord.
- I followed the extension cord around the perimeter of the room until I found the plug.
- Yep! You guessed it. It was unplugged. His daughter, doing her homework at a small table, had unplugged that extension cord to plug in either a laptop charger or a cell phone charger.
I highly recommend replacing some of your duplex outlets with ones that include USB power ports. The are readily available at your local hardware store, Lowes Home Improvement Centers, Home Depot, and your local Tractor Supply Company store.
Note to builders: One duplex outlet per wall is no longer sufficient!
