Yeah, but you can write, and absorb literature like a sponge. I can appreciate the written word but maybe not to the same degree you do. You're like a wine taster going over some of the great works out there, and I'm over here with my primitive palate going "needs hot sauce"
But seriously, I'm just playing the hand I'm dealt. I mean, it's cool that I have a gift for development, but my hand also has a couple of crappy cards I've got to contend with, like mental illness. I struggle with a lot of things - even things most people don't have trouble with. Development just isn't one of them.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

A typical week on Codeproject:
- Apple sucks
- Tesla sucks
- Musk sucks
- Microsoft sucks
- Windows sucks
- Everything else sucks
- I got the Diabetes
- I got the Covid
- My cat brings me dead rats.
- A list of celebrities that died this week.
Oh, hey look! Someone said something cheerful! They must be bragging, it's ruining my misery. Let's make a rude comment and then gaslight them into thinking it's just poetry.

I can remember the first day after I bought my 4k monitor. The text here on codeproject was so crisp, I thought to myself... I want to be a screen saver.

Bill,
Sometimes it's just best to keep your thoughts to yourself.

when you become the censor of what is said on the Lounge, you can delete all my posts.

Bill.
Why would I want to censor you? Why would I want to delete any of your posts?

So every year on the 1st, I create a new folder under "Old Mail" for the prior year, it will contain last year's received and sent email. It's nice for one week to see < 25 messages in my inbox.
This year, I've added a wrinkle - I decided to archive my Deleted folder. Just so you know, I'm not like corporate IT where they delete stuff after 6 months. I'm not worried about an audit, and every once in a while having past messages has saved me.
So, I selected all of the deleted messages and dragged it to the Deleted 2022-2014 folder. In all fairness, I was warned this might take a while. It's been 3 hours of 20% cpu while Outlook attempts to move 15k emails.
Oops, my bad - that's 15k unread emails I'm moving. I have no actual idea how many messages are in the queue. This is running on a i7-7700 with 64GB of ram and NVMe SSDs.
Of course, Outlook has completely stalled the UI update loop, and there is zero feedback.
Wager #1 - how much longer after 437pm EST?
Wager #2 - will it even finish?

Wager #3 - will you get completely bored and crash the machine just to stop the process?
Wager #4 - will you dig out an old machine just to have something to do?

Wager #3, not until tomorrow morning.
Wager #4, the laptop is still doing well. 64GB of ram and 8 cores keeps things moving. But I have my new laptop next to me, so all is well.
But your wager is noted.

I say it will finish after midnight!
