They're just waking up now. Today is Australia's equivalent of July 4th. Bob is holding two mainstays of the Australian diet: a beer and a jar of Vegemite[^]. The logo also features an Australian flag and an Aussie Rules football[^].

What's worse than Vegemite? Marmite. What is Vegemite? Vegan Marmite...

There was this ad for Marmite a few years ago that implied that you're born either liking it or hating it. 
The professional complainers got it withdrawn because it might imply racism or some such.

I saw on Google that the Sydney Grind in Etobicoke has some...
Hope that helps Chris.

I have been going round and round in circles trying to get a (fairly) simple class to work with both foreach and Linq .Select, .Sum methods.
The foreach part has been working for hours.
But the Linq stuff? Nope, can't even get it to compile ... Time for a break, I've done this before and had no problems, so why the heck are you playing me up today?
I'll come back to it tomorrow, but I've had enough of useless google results and my head hurts.
This happen to you often?

Well, you know this programming thing is just a fad. Try Wordle.

I just did:
BEGAN - G+A Green, others Grey.
CIGAR - G + A + R Green, others Grey.
SUGAR - Five Green.
Lucky, lucky, lucky!

Spoiler alert!
SHEAR - S+A+R Green, other grey
SOLAR - ditto
SUGAR - All Green
Typical. I've played five times, and usually get it in three, yesterday's in four.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Damn! Took me four tries today. I have only done one in three guesses, in the last 10 days.
Incidentally, I don't know if you saw it, but there was an article in The Telegraph last week with the headline "Physicists Crack Wordle". Apparently a physics professor and a Computer scientist inspected the web page's source and found the link to the 'secret' word list. Obviously extremely clever people.

You call that lucky? My first attempt often is SOLAR; triple green today. So I got sugar in 2.

The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

I came here to get away from the ubiquitous Wordle posts on Facebook and what do I find? More elephanting Wordle!
Try this instead, it's even more addictive, Wiki History Game[^]
So old that I did my first coding in octal via switches on a DEC PDP 8

I'm not sure why it's funny or cool and deserving of an upvote to (hopefully pretend to) not know a standard part of .NET that's been around for 15 years 
Imagine buying a new car and the salesperson asks "what's (adaptive) cruise control?" or "what's BlueTooth?" or "electric cars?"
Not so funny then and you'll probably go to another car garage.
But when it comes to programming it's totally okay to bash technology that hasn't been around since the 90's

We really need a sarcasm message type! 
Honestly, I only deal with linq enough to get through the problem at hand, then I forget it until the next time! Is that dementia?

That's the problem, I'm not even sure it's sarcasm
Plenty of people in our industry who are always bitching on those new technologies and claim things were better and easier in the old days.
For example, I knew someone who started a new VB6 project... In 2014 
This was a professional developer (although I guess "professional" really wasn't applicable), hired by a professional company, for a commercial, well-paying client.
I just heard from a friend who has been hired by a company to solve problems with their new application.
It was built two years ago, but using 15 year old technology because that's what the architect knew.
Long story short, he can't wait to be out of there because all he does is fight said architect because the architect doesn't want to budge an inch.
An ex-coworker of mine once said "oh, that's one of those places where you actually have to learn and stay current" when I told him about a new job
I have examples to spare, so tell me, was this sarcasm?

What’s .NET?
And why are you .SHOUTING!???!?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
