My last post ended with my recent gun purchase. Well, boys and girls, I am proud to tell you all that I have made yet another purchase! Yes, it's true what they say - Once you pop, you can't stop. This brings my handgun total to three. This means that in the event of a home invasion, I can effectively dual wield and still have a gun to give my girlfriend so she can provide cover fire to the rear. And really, what more could a guy ask for?
Holds five baby-seeking bullets.Naturally, I opted for the model chambered in 357 magnum so I can simultaneously scare the shit out of fellow range goers and sprain my wrist when I fire.I've got a speech coming up for school in which I will be informing my class of the shitty administrative practices of the Department of Veterans Affairs. For those of you who don't know/care, the VA is a government run veterans' benefit organization that is supposed to look out for the welfare of military veterans (and, to some extent, their families). They are currently paying for my tuition and rent, so I've got no complaints there. However, the one thing that they seem to fuck up like there's no tomorrow is their health care. Over the past few years there have been scandals, delays, and flat out lies, and no one in a position of power seems to give much of a fuck about any of it. Some vets had been waiting for care for so long that they fucking killed themselves because they couldn't deal with the bullshit anymore.Personally, I've got some shoulder pain as a result of some less-than-safe training exercises. I filed a claim back in April 2013 and didn't actually get a response until one year later. The real kicker was that the clinic I was supposed to go to was over 100 miles away, and with work and school there was no way I was going to make it. I called to reschedule but was basically told that my excuse wasn't good enough. So here I am with slowly worsening shoulder pain and no one who gives a fuck about it. Thanks, Obama!Now for a question that I'm sure someone here can help me with. I've been teaching myself Java for a bit now because I want to get into mobile app development. But is Java really as bad as people say it is? Is there another language I should look at that would be less of a waste of time?
I have the same experience as nap. I've never had an issue with Visual Studio. Eclipse however… yikes.
Visual Studio is a delight to work with. I love it.
I used Eclipse for a job a couple years ago doing Flash development and once I knew my way around it, it was OK. It's very clunky, though.Notepad++.
Command line compiler.Everything is well.If you're going the route of text editor, I can recommend Sublime Text, although it eventually crapped out on me and now runs incredibly slowly depending on the file tree I have open. I'm not sure if it's been fixed in a recent update.
I'm now using Atom instead, which is similar and has lots of plug ins.I'm still on the hunt for the perfect editor. A perfect editor would have the option to move the caret around without the arrow keys (or cursor). Can be done in with the keybinding in Sublime, which I use for smaller projects. In e-macs: CTRL+F,B,N,P. The rest of e-macs is like learning a new OS, but it might be worth it. Idk, I'm not fluent in it.
Going to try Atom now.You are not forced into actually buying Sublime. However, every so many saves a little message will pop up urging you to buy a copy.
Oh god. As much as I like visual studio for some cases, the other points drive me nuts. Compile error because of a dependency? Good luck figuring that out without spending an hour on google. Didn't realize it was doing some background work before trying to open that file? *crash* recover? NO. Youll just mess everything up! … Its a love-hate relationship. Newer versions are a bit better, but every so often you'll have to submit a bug report.
I need to get into netbeans for android development…
