I got a negative result.
How do you do that with only two multiple choice answers?

I was positive I would pass, but it didn't happen.

New conspiracy opportunity:
The tests are rigged so that only a certain percentage of people can have a positive result at any one time. This is to ensure the economy doesn't come to a complete stand still.

You'll never get an answer there.... unless of course you mention that it's urgentz!

Since pkfox has changed his vote[^], I'm counting this one as a draw: 2 for, 2 against. I abstained, so I guess I have the casting vote.
I think it's a good idea in principle, but it'll be a PITA to organise, and sounds like extra work for me so I'm going for "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
The result becomes 2 for, 3 against, and they stay as they are on this one.
If anyone can come up with a system that is self notifying / policing then I'll reopen voting - but for the moment, it's DOA.

Spot on. Quicker than I expected. YAUT!
I intended 'score' in the sense of acquire.

This shrinking-walls image sometimes occurs to me when i realize a coding strategy i have invested time in implementing will never work, and i'm back at "square-one" empty-handed. Those experiences are rare these days, since over time i have become "religious" about identifying key unknowns and testing them in isolation to get "proof of concept" before moving ahead ... and using "divide and conquer" and "stepwise refinement" strategies.

You left out Sciatica from sitting in front of the keyboerd and screen in a crappy Office chair.
Got an epidural injection yesterday. don't know how women can stand it. If I was a woman, I would be childless.
As a man I enjoyed my 2-3 minutes of effort, and was done with procreatng.
SWMBO deserves to be.

Hi, i had severe sciatica during a very stressful period (age 40) of my life; my right leg was losing muscle mass. They were planning to remove some of my bulging disk with micro-surgery, but, on advice of a physical therapist, i started using ice packs on the right lower spine and buttock.
Relief was immediate and dramatic: i was able to recover w/o surgery. Turns out the hot baths and packs, and the acupuncture, and constant massaging and stretching, i was using/doing were contributing to the inflammation.
Of course, there are many causes of sciatica, and what worked for me may not be useful for anyone else.
If what they injected in you was a standard dose of the usual steroid, you should be mobile after several hours.
As you can, keep visualizing/seeing your new life on the horizon. i know it is there, moving towards you.
take care, Bill

I haven't used WinUI much.
If I have a big application in WPF, I wonder if it's worth moving to WinUI3?
From past experience I take it that the data models can be reused and View can probably be copy pasted and the tweaked the xaml namespace.. isn't it? (didnt really do code migration, so not 100% sure about possible snags)
Another bonus question.. does it offer any performance benefits to move from WPF to WinUI3?
