STATUS:
Battle.net account is apparently comprimised or something. So I go to log in.
Turns out I need a 2fa code sent to my email.
OK, cool, whatever.
Buuuuuuut.
This email is a shitty ISP one. The code expires in 10 minutes. It would be a miracle to have an email show up in my inbox in 15 minutes.Welp, looks like I'm not getting into my battle.net account. Thanks Blizzard. So much for assuming that email wasn't instant

UPDATED STATUS:
Submitted a ticket...I cannot log in due to the verification code expiring in 10 minutes. It takes at least 15 minutes for any email to show up in this email account (blame Time Warner Cable for that one)...
It would be much more useful if the code expired in a reasonable amount of time, like an hour or something, since some people are stuck with crappy email providers like this (I normally use gmail now, but this is the email I created an account with).
If the email could be changed to another address (such as the gmail account), that would solve the problem for me, but I think there's still a problem with a 10 minute expiration....
Also, I had to put "Phone number" in twice in the above form - what's up with that?Let's see where this goes.

Anyone want a free string of random characters? Well look no further than https://www.youtube.com/feed/watch_later
So, sometime in the last few hours, this route no longer works anymore and the only way to get to watch later is via https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=WL - I didn't even know my bookmark was out of date until it 500'd.

Status:
[redacted, I can't read properly. Random Guids that differ by one character 'B' to 'C' are evil]
Entity framework is kicking my ass trying to make a 1:1 with a GUID primary key work. This shouldn't be that hard :(
-
@Cursorkeys You managed to get a duplicated primary key? That's impressive whether GUID or int
-
It turns out it wasn't duplicate, the two autogenerated Guids were:
FBE41D06-8A0B-E611-AF5F-842B2B18581F
FCE41D06-8A0B-E611-AF5F-842B2B18581FMy test complaining about duplicates had the assert backwards, and it looked identical at first glances...
Edit: After running the tests a load of times the second character is always 1 character ahead, and the only difference, on subsequent Ids.
I've never seen GUIDs come out that similar before, there must be something special about how EF makes them.

I can't remember what I was working with but if a duplicate guid was detected it would lowercase the sixth letter. That was a couple hours of my life I'll never get back.

Status: Had a £750 utility bill reduced to £16, because it was all down to a series of massive failures on the provider's part. After dealing with several of these companies over the last few years, I'm cinvinced that there's something about taking money for someone to access the gas and electricity that are already connected to a house that makes it impossible to be even vaguely competent. I have never had a satisfying interaction with British Gas, First Utility or Scottish Power. Southern Electric weren't too bad, apart from the fact that I had to download a 5 year old version of Firefox to be compatible with their live chat system.
I might write up what happened with this one, as it's a pretty epic WTF spanning 18 months. Can't be bothered right now.
I think the exchange I had after tweeting about this sums it up:
@FirstUtility
Is there anything I can help with at all?
I doubt it, based on your company's track record

I'd never heard of that place before. I was thinking of places not that far from Manchester, UK, where snow is possible in almost any month (though a bit unlikely in July…)
