Why the angry face ?

Maybe this will help a bit: "my grandparents are dead" ... "that's nice"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, in her defense, when my grandparents moved into a retirement home, they couldn't bring along a full house worth of furniture with them, so my parents/uncles/aunts "inherited" it even though they were still alive and well...

My Answer - "Yeah, we're relocating to our disaster shelter, and the only thing left to move is the guns and ammo. If you want this house, it's yours, and here's a map to the property - don't dig where you see a red 'X'."
Before closing the door, whisper, "Don't trust ANYONE."

you can inherit items from living people, not just "passed-on" people. Maybe she thought that.

I thought the same thing. Then again, for many people, it is not too sad of an issue when old people pass on.

Yeah but for stuff like furniture I wouldn't use the word "inherit".
Nothing prevents you from just giving things like that away. With "inherit" I'd associate some legal process involved. (Like transferring the ownership of a house or a company)

In the world of object orientation parents are always alive when their children inherit. But guess what happens when the parents die...

Wiktionary does not agree. Also, I'd expect the greeting "have a great day" after such a conversation.

Oxford Dictionary word: inherit
** Section 1.2 Receive or be left with (a situation, object, etc.) from a predecessor or former owner.
** North American Section 1.3 Come into possession of (belongings) from someone else
I do not acknowledge your citation with Wiktionary whatever, blah, blah, blah... 
inherit: definition of inherit in Oxford dictionary (American English) (US)[^]
Basically the word can be used with or without the context of someone's passing or death.

Perhaps she's an optimist. You got stuff, which is nice.

Don't download code from a 6-year-old article using an essentially deprecated framework, and then leave me a message about a null reference exception, and ask me what you're doing wrong. The resulting message exchange will not be pleasant because I don't f*ckin' know what you're doing wrong (other than not being a programmer, that is).

Assuming it's the message on your Wizard article, even a quick glance at the line of code from the exception is enough to see what the problem is.

To be honest, I didn't even browse the code.

I'm guessing "chepetla" didn't either.

Actually, I blame you for writing a 6 year old article. It's your own fault. Next time, write a more recent article.
