Oz is just toying with the idea of assisted death, hopefully they bring it in before I need it, we don't have access to weaponry (the only good reason to be able to get a gun IMHO).

You can do that in c# too.

In .Net stringA==stringB invokes stringA.equals(stringB). In Java stringA==stringB isn't ignored. It compares the object references, which similar to Object.ReferenceEquals(A, B).

Yes ... looks like you have some fun indeed, which is good  . I had my share of it, too, with Java 8 Eclipse and dynamic web projects for Tomcat 8 to manage local documents. I wasn't very happy as Windows services in C# would be somewhat more efficient for the use case, but, I had no choice ... Indeed IntelliJ looks great, will be using it soon with Gradle as a side-kick for my C# projects ...

Games, more specifically 3D games, were shown to exhibit anti-dementia properties. Apparently, 3D spacial reasoning (which is pretty much a requirement for playing 3D games) is a great way to keep the brain from atrofying.

i'm really glad you have fun. i'm slowly approaching 50 and building up empathy for persons of older age, respect is granted.
i must admit, that is the first time i hear 'fun' and 'java' in the same sentence
maybe java operator == compares strings by their reference?
JetBrains, the creators of IntelliJ IDE are known for making superb software.
i hope you have lot's of fun

Being 71 myself, I can relate.
Just learning C#, is more than enough for me. I always worked in VB, still do until I get my code converted.
Yes I am still working for a living. Plan ahead!

Awesome. 🤩
This grows my expectations to finally 🙏learn Java when get in these times.🤣
After all, enjoy programming is what it matters😃

If you are seriously interested in Java, I recommend the book "The Definitive Guide to Modern Java Clients with JavaFX" by Chin et al. It is available from Amazon as a Kindle download. It helped me getting IntelliJ set up and configuring my first app, which is a little tricky. Read the sections: "Setting Up Your Environment" and "Your First Modern Java Client". Good luck!

Sorry for my delay! Thanks for the tip! I definitely will look about it ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Every object in Java inherits the equals method from Object, but the default implementation simply compares the object references (so to be true it must compare the same object instance with itself). It is part of the specs that every class has the equals method implementation replaced to provide the desired functionality.

Sounds like it was intentional- I’ve seen reports that an announcement was made from the RV to evacuate before the explosion. That, combined with it happening today makes it seem like they didn’t want to kill people, maybe just destroy a building/business?
Still, three injured. I hope they recover. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

You, at least, paid some attention. The various news outlets persisted (at least through even last night) that it "may" have been intentional. After all, it only announced is was going to explode and everyone should run away. I mean WTF? Are the writers getting that stupid?
As for its intent - one may be pretty sure the intent was to make some sort of statement (although what statement has yet to be seen) because:
1 - it was set off at a time when few would be around
2 - on a day when that few would likely be none
3 - and they called in "shots fired" to get the police there immediately
4 - who, upon hearing the message, cleared everyone they could away.
5 - and, considering the size of the RV, they could have blown those buildings away. It had enough room to meet or exceed the Oklahoma City bombing.
Three injured and some human remains. They're looking into the idea of a suicide bomber.

It's appearing that AT&T was the target. I don't live in Tennessee but my understanding is that AT&T down there makes all other telecom providers look good.

They are now reporting it was a suicide. I guess the guy wanted his .0037 microseconds of fame.
There is no situation so bad that suicide is called for.

Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven."
Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Six."
Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?"
Johnny: "Seven!"
Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!"
Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"

A farmer has a herd of one hundred cattle. When slaughtered, each cattle provides two sides of beef. If the farmer slaughters one cattle each week, how many cattle will remain after he has produced one-hundred-and-twenty sides of beef?
