But... the spell checker has found a lot of things despite it being code that I thought was issue-free.
@HardwareGeek–as–a–Service?
I always though he was more of a grammar checker than a spell checker...

Speaking of spell checking, I was reading the VS release notes and found this line item:
Using the Spell Checker causes Visual Studio to Crash (Often)

And how is Sunday “three days” after Good Friday?
Third day, not three days.
So “same day” would be “one day” and “day after” would be “two days”?
That’s a pretty weird way to count.@loopback0 said in The Official Status Thread:
@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:
Wait, why is Easter Monday a holiday if the resurrection was on Sunday
Here if what would be a public holiday falls on a weekend the next weekday is the public holiday. Easter is always a Sunday so there's always a Monday public holiday.
We don’t have that, which sucked for both Christmas and new year’s last year
Suckers.
Not counting New Year, which was on a Sunday, I still got another 10 public holidays in 2023 which are on weekdays.

Three day weekend.
Is this some retarded yank thing? Any time a yank opens their mouth I immediately never want to live there all over again.
Addendum: I think Tasmanians and some Kiwis are getting a five-day weekend for completely different reasons.

@error Four day weekend.
Because of the freezing rain Montreal got yesterday, I was off today.
So I get a 5 day weekend

Usually yes, but apparently not in this case. #NotAllCakes

@Gribnit crumble isn’t cake?

Nevermind, apparently hotel WiFi strikes again, will try later.
Essentially, engage your imagination and picture a two strips of neon Gaffers tape with the written words: "I said that it was quiet"
That's probably all I'll say about that publicly.

Some are, some aren't. Yours appears to be of the kind which is a cake (or at least cake-allied).

I'm reminded of the old joke.
Mister, if I buy a cake do I have to pay for the individual crumbs?
No, of course not.
Great! Can you smash me two cakes please?

Absolutely, for just a small smashing charge of $50.

Status: Annoyed by my VPN. My work laptop was making noise frequently for the entire holiday weekend. It sounded like the notification for new email or Teams messages. WTF was so urgent that people were sending messages on the holiday? Finally, I took a look yesterday. A couple of automated emails about test suites that completed successfully; no new Teams messages; nothing that explained the incessant beeping. Screw it. Nothing needs my attention. Back to ignoring it.
Later, I thought of the VPN. Confirmed when a notification popped up (and disappeared ~3s later, leaving no visible trace of what caused the notification sound) while looking at it this morning. My session had expired and I needed to authenticate again. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT NECESSITATES BEEPING EVERY HALF HOUR, DAY AND NIGHT, ON A WEEKEND! I don't care that I don't have access to the internal network; I'm not going to need it until Monday morning.

It was about 50% done downloading the 5G update when I went to lunch. Came back, unlocked the screen saver (no, the system didn't go to sleep), and it started the download over from the beginning.

@dcon It'll be 50% done again when you're ready to leave for the night, so it can start again from the beginning tomorrow morning, too.
