Are the posted questions getting worse?

Yeah, I was just being juvenile rather than commenting on the merits the of various beers 😀.

This isn't a comment on JS v any other language. This is merely a statement there is JS in use here, too much of it that attempts to handle so many items in the editing process that it causes issues with someone entering an answer.
Your response seems a bit overblown to a simple comment.

Steve, I completely got what you meant.

🙂 That was what I was sniggering about, certainly, although mostly because of recollecting Top Gear's discussion about the Growler car. I only hear one person a decade make the pork pie reference - and I assumed it was a Yorkshire thing.
Careful googling also shows that it's a type of aeroplane.

It's good to know that I'm not alone in my despise for IPAs. I don't understand how they became so popular and some bars here will offer them as 80% of their beer selection. I can attest that Europe has amazing beers, but I've tried some that are really good on this side of the ocean.
I really don't understand how people call Budweiser (the american brand) or its bastard light version a beer, but if Jeff likes them he can have them all. -
I am a hop fanatic. IPAs are glorious and wonderful.

There's definitely a time a place for an IPA but like Luis I've no idea how they became so popular. I think there's an arms race going on in some breweries though and I suspect we're only a matter of time before somebody gets a pintpot full of hop flowers and a lengthy explanation from an achingly trendy barman about how 'it's the latest thing in the IPA's flavour profile.'
I've found some good lagers recently from both sides of the Atlantic. It can definitely have a lot more flavour than I thought. I can sometimes be persuaded by a cold pint of Bud on a hot day, not that we get many of those in my neck of the woods.
On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I've recently taken a liking to imported Lagers. Japanese seem to be my favoured choice at the moment (for example Asahi and Sapporo). Still like good English Ales still though; won't say no to a good Badger Beer for example. 🙂

I narrowed it down to one line of the SELECT clause via repeated commenting out and uncommenting, and retyped the line. No idea what the character was.
I don't have any more details, sorry. Can't even recall what thread it was.
However, there's definitely odd stuff. When I hit start a new line, the cursor is a couple characters back from where it should be.
I should not be behaving like this
I use this, enough vendor files with issues to make this handy, not that you need this code, but makes it easier for the whole team to use it when they need to
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_ALL_MHI_ASCIIvalues] @string nvarchar(max)
AS
SELECT T.N AS Position,SUBSTRING(@string,N,1) AS characterValue,ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string,N,1)) AS ASCIIValue
FROM dbo.ALL_MHI_Tally AS t
WHERE t.N<DATALENGTH(@string)
AND ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string,N,1)) IS NOT NULL

I suspect is is my security settings, because it's happening on every single page on this site. I'm getting an shield with an X that displays the warning when I hover over or click on the the shield.

I've run into that one too. The work-around I've found is to put in a couple spaces, then go back one or two, paste in the link, hit end, and keep typing.
But it's easy to forget to do the extra spaces. - Jeff Moden - Sunday, September 3, 2017 5:37 PM
I'm a long way from the nearest place I can get either American or Czech Budweiser, and ordering it by mail or phone is rather chaotic and fraught with problems as there is real confusion between the two. In most of Europe, the American company calls its beer "Bud" because it has no right to use Budweiser and no right to use Budvar, but in the UK, both the Americans and the Czechs call their beers "Budweiser Budvar", which means you have to read the small print on the bottle to work out which it is.
But you can easily get a least one of the Czech Budweiser brewery's beers in the USA. They're sold under the name "Czechvar" because the name "Budweiser" (German for "from Budweis") was hijacked. There are maybe 10 varieties of Budweiser from the Cech brewery, but at least one of those comes in casks not in bottles and I haven't seen any Czech cask Budweiser in the USA. I'm not sure how many of the different bottled versions are sold in the USA. At least one of them is available in Canada too (in green glass bottles instead of brown glass as in the USA) under the same "Czechvar" name. Avoid the variety marked "B: Free" - that's the alcohol-free version! The original Budweiser Budwar may be marked "B: Original" (or not - iit was in the UK last time I looked).

Kopřivnice - Wikipedia Sean Lange - Sunday, September 3, 2017 12:47 PMOk, you have a point. I most definitely must do my best not to emulate JC's commenting style (except when commenting on his comments, perhaps).
It's long time since I formed my view on American beer and decided that when I was in the UsA I would stick to wine or whisky or gin or vodka or brandy or cocktails (but sadly I never found a Barman in CA or WA who knew what a Manhattan was) when in the USA. Perhaps the beer has improved since then (in fact it seems probable, as a lot of my American friends/colleagues shared my view on American beer, and that encourage brewers to make improvements) and I didn't noticed because I'd given up drinking it.

If instead of saying "JS" you had said "code" or "superfluous processing" or "interference" something long those lines I would hve seen what you meant and agreed with you. But by choosing to say "JS" you seemed to be making a comment about that particular language, or perhaps about what sort of mistakes people coding specifically in that language tend to make. So as I see it my response was not at all overblown, it was a perfectly sensible query - and your respnse, although it does provide an answer to that query, does so in what seems to me to be a thoroughly overblown manner.
