most old "farts" I know (including the one in the mirror) wouldn't put themselves down...
that's the wife's job.
[us] old farts can fix anything - except 'some' things that were 'designed completely broken.'
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Sadly, that was based upon a time and place when things were made to last a while.
For now - the "youngin's" are used to the concept of things breaking very quickly and buy replacements. The rapid breakage has become totally acceptable, or at least, the norm.

Trouble is, if you make things that last too well, you end up going out of business.
Indeed, so good were the mills produced by these two companies that they effectively ran themselves out of business, for replacements were never needed and new distilleries requiring new malt mills (in those days) were few and far between.

true, but we still must try (hence the 'designed broken.')
last "old-time" item I bought was a push mower (i.e. no motor) ... stoopid [chinesium] thing still fell apart coz it was so badly built.

I bought one when I first bought a house - decently made but still a mistake. It's only useful for tiny lawns and someone who loves to mow frequently.
In particular, I am not one who loves to mow (ever).
Helpful Hint: Don't water a lawn. Don't fertilize it. It will grow slower - less to mow. Spend all that useful energy on a vegetable garden where at least you get something for your efforts.

The older I get the worse journalism and indeed the world is getting. Proof reading, fact checking, spelling and accuracy aren't required any more. Seems if I was born anywhere in the last 20 years I could have been a professional journalist in about Kindergarten.
Currently reading First IVF baby's 40th birthday: How a tiny girl changed science and the world - Science News - ABC News[^] on the Australian Broadcasting Corporations website and find the following which makes me want to track down Genelle Weule and beat her to death with her own shoes (reference anyone?).
In July 1978...Louise Joy Brown was born in the United Kingdom...in Oldham General Hospital, shortly before midnight on July 25.
Less than a year after Ms Brown's birth, Australia's first IVF baby, Candice Reed, was born on June 23, 1980.
Bitch Puhlease! That is 2 days short of 1 year and 11 months, or less than 2 years later. She's probably proper educated and that, with a University Degree and all, but still dumb as dog shite.

How appropriate a subject. This AM, on the way to work, I heard an short article where the talking head (radio style) talked about the speed of sound (vs. a slow city bus) as 767 miles/second
Because they're all now clueless. All they know is on their phone - and their collective batteries are otherwise dead.

The ABC, like QANTAS and SBS, do not allow physical appearance influence their presenters/stewardesses, I suspect they do not allow voice quality to have an influence either. We get some of the most horrid sounding plain looking creatures presenting our news.

At least that's what Microsoft seems to think 
Upgraded a .NET Core 2.0 project to 2.1 and I got error that Microsoft.Extensions.SomePackacge version 2.1.1 is incompatible with .NET Core 2.1.
Had to install version 2.1.0 for pretty much every package for the error to go away.
Apparently some bug in .NET Core 2.1 
And my normal .NET projects can't find System.Net.Http at runtime.
VS gets it from some folder in Project Files.
At some point I had to remove that file to make it work locally.
VS went to the GAC for the package which seemed to work, but it fails (at runtime) when deployed through the build server (although it builds just fine).
Tried installing the NuGet package, but then the reference cannot be found at all (and the build fails) 
The problem is possibly that I have one or more packages installed that depend on the same package in .NET Core (or .NET Standard)...
What the sh*t Microsoft!?
Get your packages together! 
At least I get to experience what this DLL hell I've been hearing about is all about... It's not a bug, it's a feature

You are very wrong!
DLL hell is reserved for W32/64 native developers.
What you are facing smells more to an assembly hell.
Feel the difference

We get this all the time. A consequence, evidently, of some backtracking on decisions within Microsoft. I read through the whole sordid mess a year or so ago when it first hit us and the head slapping is still stinging. The details, unfortunately, have faded.

I think this started when I installed .NET 4.7 and/or .NET Core 2.1.
In any case I haven't seen this problem before last week.
It works locally and it works when I deploy to Azure from my own machine.
So the only way for me to test this is to make a small change, commit it, wait for the build server to build and deploy (takes a few minutes), test it on Azure, repeat.

If you haven't done so - have a look at the packages.config file.
Nuget can sometimes mess things up and it is possible that you have more than one reference to differing versions of a dll in there.

If only things were that simple.
The packages.config looks good.
I can manually reference the System.Net.Http assembly to look for the solution's package folder, but Visual Studio simply ignores it 
Event when I manually edit the csproj file it ignores the reference's path...
And the result is now: BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http' or one of its dependencies. Reference assemblies should not be loaded for execution.
I guess a new exception message means I'm making progress...

This is not DLL hell. Not even remotely. The real DLL hell was with Win16 or Win32. .Net destroyed all the fun with stuff like the GAC.
