Ah, perhaps you will want to disable host cache on your virtualized controllers? At least, that's a known problem on my much old version of VirtualBox...

Looks like it's already disabled.

@heterodox said in The Official Status Thread:
strep throat
The worst part of moving to another country: your entire medical knowledge becomes useless because every single illness, body organ and medicine has completely different name than you're used to. Even the most basic stuff takes years to learn. For example, it took me almost 20 years to learn that angina is "strep throat".

MicrosoftCanada!Fun fact: a burger place that my colleagues and I often go to for lunch, has a burger in their menu called "Blame Canada". It consists of beef, Mimolette cheese, grilled bacon, grilled banana, maple syrup and peanut butter. I haven't built up courage to try it out yet.

I was thinking it was the keyboard shortcuts in general being disabled, indeed, it's the functions themselves that don't do bolded-text if there's not selection...
-
@tsaukpaetra Yeah, after Ctrl+B failed I tried the toolbar button and it also didn't work. RIP in peace quick and easy bolded text joke.

20 years of learning English. I haven't really tried to actually learn all those medical words, but then I never tried to learn what all car parts are called, yet I know most of them. Vocabulary is mostly learned through exposure to the language, and illnesses is a topic that comes up very rarely in casual conversation - so you pretty much have to actively look for a list of these words to know them, unlike most other topics which just come up naturally sooner or later when talking to people, browsing internets, reading books etc.

@gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

Uh...angina ISN'T strep throat unless where you're from uses a wildly inaccurate definition of "angina". Angina is typically a heart/bloodflow problem, not an infection.
-
@gąska Right, and I'm familiar with that myself as English is not my first (or even second) language. But to the best of my knowledge, angina and strep throat are completely unrelated.

That's the fun part: in Polish, "angina" means bacterial inflammation of throat, and nothing else. What you are describing is called "stenokardia".

Because they occasionally reset a feature tons of people abuse to get access to games they have never paid for?

Status: In a good mood, because Path of Exile's April Fools prank this year was to implement a battle royale and run it for about 48 hours, which I disliked, but was entertained by the existence of.
However, Skyrim VR's price tag? That is making me rather unpleased.

No longer being able to play games that I haven't actually bought where I was able to before due to exploiting a technicality.

Fuck SSIS added side bonus edition:
Even if you're using actual CSVs, there're plenty of ways to trip yourself up with those too!- The default setting for a flat file connection manager in Delimited mode is comma separated with {CR}{LF} as line delimiters, which is great.
- But said default also includes no text qualifier
- If your file happens to have more columns than the connection manager is expecting, and either actually no text qualifiers or has text qualifiers (
"
encapsulating each field, typically) but you didn't tell SSIS about them, then SSIS will read ALL THE EXTRA COLUMNS as your last column.
Meaning, if the CM is expecting 6 columns, it will interpret this...
"foo","bar","baz","bob","april","jane","doe"
as...
column 1 = "foo" column 2 = "bar" column 3 = "baz" column 4 = "bob" column 5 = "april" column 6 = "jane","doe"
So, if, say, you later strip out the
"
characters and then when column 4 has a certain value column 5 and 6 should be empty, well, you're gonna have some processing problems when the CSV shows up with 7 columns.And yes, this is less specifically a problem with SSIS as it is with the process not being set up to use the text qualifiers the input file was set up to use, combined with an invalid input file format. But still, it's like SSIS goes out of its way to assist you in shooting yourself in your own reproductive organ.

Being able to play games other than In The Approved Way is feature of non-Steam platforms, not a bug.

Just wait until you find out what it does if one line has too few delimiters.
(It just swallows the line)
