actually, i'm taking this instead:
And in the end, you'll only use the Phillips screwdriver
not true!
i only ended up using the antistatic wrist strap because my case is toolless (with thumbscrews but i never tighten them down with tools so they come off with finger pressure)
i also used the triwing bit for putting the old WD green (i could have sworn it was a blue) into an external case because the chinesium brand i cot for 2 bucks had triwing screws and the included driver to use them was a phillips so...... yay chinesium! but of course that doesn't count because that's not my case upgrade
but anyway....... i always have way more waste/spare parts than i think i will after take apart my case.....
I just can't figure out why that would be.
FUCK YES!
I have no idea why the previous install of windows refused to go an inch above 60Hz, it spazzed out to the max when i tried.
but i reinstalled because new SSD and the new install said "100Hz? at 3440 by 1440? Nah problem, mate. I got this."
so...... yay!

I have officially declared war on the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
I will hunt them to fucking local extinction.
To date, they have been annoying. But today. Today they cost me money.
I had four circuits suddenly fail in the garage. WTF, yo. Must be a bad batch of breakers. Weird for Square D QO's, but whatever.
While I was in there replacing shit, I noticed the bastards had decided to get cozy with the zappy bits of the breaker box:
In an effort to determine if I should notify Square D about a run of bad breakers or some shit (these had all come out of the same case so a uniform manufacturing flaw was totally possible), I went ahead and drilled out the rivets on one of them to open it up and see if there was anything obvious wrong.
2 stinkbug corpses in the air vent.
A third stinkbug corpse RIGHT ACROSS THE FUCKING CONTACTS.Opened up a second one. Stinkbug parts everywhere and burned contacts.
Fortunately, they only buggered up $6 wall outlet breakers, not the $40 heavy equipment ones.
That said, I am going to set myself to R&D to improve engineering of stink bug traps. The commercial traps suck shit and cost a ton of money. The common DIY ones operate only as traps, and don't actually kill the fuckers. I, however, am armed with a variety of gnarly fucking chemical weapons to deploy inside these traps. I know I have several things that will actually dissolve their fucking chitin.

Exactly. That package will likely have a nice little DLL, which will need to be added to the repo.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but every time I "let NuGet handle it", it never works, and I have to do powershell incantations to get it to "restore" the packages before even attempting to build.

Or rename it. @Magus experienced that not too long ago IIRC...

Will do. Well, will add to the JIRA for after this first public release.

@Magus said in The Official Status Thread:

I believe this package has both. Maybe it's a different package, but the .config transform targets are definitely available with NuGet, since our environment provisioning script pulls the package and installs the targets globally just in case before build.

In the IDE? Right click the solution, Restore Nuget Packages.
On a build server? Configure your fucking build properly to do a package restore first.
That said, Restore is a fucking stupid name for the fetch feature.

On a build server? Configure your fucking build properly to do a package restore first.Thing is, I don't expect to go into a non-obvious context menu to do something that should happen automatically.
In any other non-NuGet dependent project, I open the solution, hit F5, and it compiles and runs the default project.
My expectation is like getting a setup program for some game, you run it, say yes to all the things, and play the game.
Your solution is like getting a setup program for said game, then being expected (because it's an Initrode game) to traverse to the installation directory, open a config file (that's in XML, because of course it would be) and filling out registration information (and save it!), and then finally launching the game. Without instructions that that is what you should do (besides maybe some small text in the splash window saying "User login not found in GameCred.inf!")
