Take it easy. No matter how thoroughly you clean, a major dust storm will blow in the day before Passover. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I was going to do some spring cleaning, but couldn{t find any springs.
I guess that goes on the shopping list.

Vacuum Cleaner will be an option. Gets rid of all that nasty space dust and micro-meteors that collect in the carpet collectors.

Have you ever googled a very specific error, followed a few links, found a relevant page for your problem, then work your way down the page, trying different solutions with no joy...finally arriving at the last well written (and winning) solution and realizing that it's your own post from a few years ago!  I must be getting old!

No, but I have come across old post of mine on CP from many years ago and thought how well reasoned they were.

Yes, but the previous versions of myself are all strangers, now.

I have to agree - I saw it a while ago, and thought it was excellent!
I have to say that the Oz and NZ film industries put Hollywood to shame: films with actual plots instead of "big names" and special effects. With the exception of "3 Billboards" of course - that felt "very antipodean" if you know what I mean!

Yes - a proof money can't make good movies...
It had a budget of about 3 million USD, while movies like that low-level Last Jedi had about 200 million...

Yeah - you'd probably have to pay more than $3M just to get an actor as bad as Nicolas Cage in a hollywood movie.
