You'll probably remember, CP used to have a special forum for that called the soapbox. They had to stop it due to all the negativity  .

Personally, when this happens to me I turn on the TV news. All optimism is wiped away very quickly.

Huge amounts of things are most easily explained when considering that kids now have platforms where they aren't just shoulder-shrugged on account of having zero life experience. They get taken "seriously" when they really at least should be filtered through that lens.
Not dissimilar, Americans (me) also tend to assume Americans on the other end.
The huge differences in social norms sometimes leads to head butting by itself.

You explained what you are trying to accomplish (that looks a little like homework) and you posted some code. But you didn't explain what the problem was.

Definitely not homework wow bit condescending there my dude, have you seen the code? I was basically just trying to optimize. The part where I have to create another file for writing but I already have the decompressed txt file open, the target of the copy to
(Also, not posting code here merely referring to the Q&A where I posted the code. If this breaks the bylaws still, my apologies). Will stop here, thanks

I'm with Chill on that - it has the structure of a homework question, and I have to admit when I saw it my immediate thought was just that: "not another lazy student posting his assignment and expecting use to finish it for him!"*
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But ... it doesn't ask a question, it just posts an assignment and some code which doesn't appear to try and solve it. I'd say it was closed for good reason.
* Well ... the actual version involved words which aren't KSS

Fair enough, I'll structure my question better and repost. Bit tired atm

That's a good idea!

Just to reiterate what was said, you'll get better responses if you ask a specific question that shows you at least went through the code rather than just post a problem and a code dump. The peeps here love to help, but nobody will do the thinking for you.

If you live even longer, you become calcium.

I just spent a delightful (and obscenely expensive) weekend in Las Vegas, attending the Xfinity and Cup Series NASCAR races. Wow! What a great time!
But what a noise! I just got home to Bullhead City, and I'm nearly deaf, even though I wore earmuffs for most of the time. Earmuffs work great, but at those sound levels, it's impossible to talk to your buddy sitting in the next seat. And I like to eavesdrop on the drivers as they talk to their crews, but it's impossible to understand what the scanner is picking up during the race. Yes, it's possible to hear during a Caution, but not under full throttle.
The product I'm looking for is an earmuff/headset that has a Noise Reduction Ratio of 124 dB or better, and speakers that can connect to a Bearcat 125AT handheld scanner. For the bonus round, I'd love to have BlueTooth capability and noise-cancelling microphones built in to allow voice communications between two people attending the race together.
If there's a product out there that can do this, I'd love to hear about it. If someone here would like to tackle the project - I'm looking at you, Honey the Code Witch, but anyone is invited to join in - I'm in for two units, and available for Beta testing. If it turns out to be useful and reliable, I think I can safely guarantee many thousands of sales, and I wont charge you a thing for the idea. But I do expect to get mine free, no matter how many millions you rake in. And that's for the life of the product, all upgrades included. Heck, my idea is making you a millionaire - that's the least I deserve.
So go and put on your thinking caps, consume your creative herbal products. I think this is a product idea that can extend well beyond NASCAR, and has the potential to generate some serious profits. I look forward to buying stock in your company, after you make this idea a reality.

WOW! 124dB is a lot...
For all the other specs check "3M peltor" devices, they offer different solutions from industrial to militar.

Oops. Fat fingers. I meant to type 24 dB, which most ear muffs currently provide.
