    Building a database system to book students in to hotels

    To reinforce what Colin said, we really have no objection to cross-posting itself as long as you're upfront about doing it and explaining why you're doing it. On the other hand, if I spend 3 hours coming up with a solution for someone, only to learn they got an answer somewhere else the day...

    Shootings in US schools

    Oh, also, with a few strict exceptions, all weapons firing more than one shot per trigger pull are illegal for civilian ownership in the US. That's why the Las Vegas shooter was using a bump stock to fake it. If you see someone walking around with an SMG, get the hell out of Dodge, because...

    Shootings in US schools

    'Pants' in American English is, indeed, 'trousers' in British English. For underwear, we just say 'underwear' or else refer to the type. When you're carrying a gun, it means you have one on your person somewhere. It might be a holstered pistol, it might be a rifle slung over a shoulder; both...

    Shootings in US schools

    Apparently the actual phrase used in ancient Hebrew was Lo tirtzach!, which literally translates as 'Do not murder'. A treatise on it written by a rabbi is HERE, breaking down justified vs unjustified vs necessary killings, linguistic breakdowns, relevant legal history, etc.

    Shootings in US schools

    The most common holster for concealed carry seems to be on the belt, inside the pants in the small of the back or slightly off to one side. The shoulder holster is more for people who expect to need it at any time, but still want it hidden. For open carry, it's a simple, compact belt holster...

    Shootings in US schools

    Hell, I live in a city that has on several occasions had the highest murder rate in the nation, and work in a different city that has ALSO held that 'honor', and the only weapon I even own is a katana I won in a card tournament. The only time I've ever felt the need for a gun was the night...

    Changing which form loads in a subform

    They can get out of hand if you have enough subforms, plus they all have to load, which can slow everything down badly if you have too many or they're too complicated.

    What's the best/worst video game of all time?

    Meh, I think it's the biggest name in the MOBA field these days. It's still one of the biggest genres out there; it's just toxic as all hell. I got enough of that kind of behavior playing Magic: the Gathering at a competitive level, thanks. I quit M:tG in large part because it was bringing...

    Changing which form loads in a subform

    Yep, what I typically do in this situation is bypass the Master/Child Field properties entirely and base the subforms on parameterized queries.

    What's the best/worst video game of all time?

    I dunno. They're just action cinematics to hype the game; vignettes, basically. But the new one - AWAKEN - is just a damned cool cinematic regardless of whether or not you like the game (which I don't).

    Changing which form loads in a subform

    All the time. Have the subform default to no SourceObject and invisible. When you determine which version needs to be loaded, update the subform's SourceObject property, do anything else you need to do to or in the subform, then make it visible. If you start with a default, skip the...

    Run-Time Error '438': Object Doesn't support this property or method

    It's SelectedItems, not SelectionItems. The error you're receiving means that the provided property name doesn't exist.

    I'm not a League of Legends player, but holy HELL do they put out some great cinematics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF5Ddo9JdpY

    US "Government Shutdown"

    But...but...they don't deserve it! They made their choices and chose to be poor and homeless! Both common arguments used by conservatives to oppose every single freaking attempt at helping the poverty-stricken and homeless. Then those same people come right back and blame liberals for not...

    US "Government Shutdown"

    That difference is why they can get away with blaming Democrats, and it's one reason a lot of independents DO blame Democrats. That used to surprise me, but not any longer. There is a certain tendency to believe what you're told by those you consider to be 'rightful' leaders, but both studies...

    NASA Study Indicates Antarctica is Gaining More Ice Than It's Losing -

    The fact that you think caring about other people and the planet is fascism says everything everyone will ever need to know about you.

    NASA Study Indicates Antarctica is Gaining More Ice Than It's Losing -

    Isladogs, Galaxiom, you're jousting at windmills. Doc and the rest will continue to believe precisely what their masters in the Republican Party tell them to believe regardless of such inconsequentials as facts. The GOP politicians and their corporate paymasters find ignoring climate change to...

    US "Government Shutdown"

    Just to clarify, Trump didn't veto it - he THREATENED to veto it (despite its unanimous passage through the Senate), which led to the still-GOP-controlled House to tack on the $5.7 billion for the wall despite the Senate Democrats stating that they absolutely, positively would not vote for a...
