I have studied some affects of it here:
On why to use DataViews[^]
In a few simple cases I do use foreach, but when performance is critical I do not use foreach, I am more likely to use GetEnumerator() and use multi-threading to iterate the items.

That is definitely one of the magic words for choosing something other than foreach.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a multithreaded foreach at some point. They've added all manner of kitchen sinks to C# in recent years, what's one more?

Sometimes heavy enumeration is just par for the course. When you're computing parsing tables for example, you have to do a lot of iteration over grammar constructs. It's unavoidable because it's baked into the math. If you found a way to do something like say, subset construction without doing as much iteration you could probably make a lot of money demonstrating that technique.
One reason I tend to avoid foreach in C# these days is I port a lot of code to C++14 sans STL for use on IoT devices so foreach isn't really available, and is harder to translate.
I know that's a special case, but it comes up a lot for me.

I think these are more theoretical statements than coding questions. I find them interesting.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

My comment was meant to be ironic, but, it has a context which involves my (unsuccessful) attempts, over years, to address what I see as the issue of useful technical content getting submerged in the tidal waves of Lounge activity.
imho, a lot valuable content is not curated in a way that newer users or visitors are aware of it ... why would they sort through the usual banter, CC's, etc., to find content relevant to specific technical needs ?
The solutions to this ... I can see ... are, unfortunately, impractical: having intelligent people curate takes either paying for employees; or, motivating a large number of members to pick up an oar.
The "ideal" solution would be for posters to actually use the Forums that exist. But, then, the spotlight for folks like Honey Witch might not be bright enough
Like I say, I've given up on this ... but, I still enjoy CodeProject as much as ever !

Did you know that in 1763 the Cold Air Balloon was invented – but it never really took off?

Beyond All Recognition - Characters[^]
From the classics of the 10's week.
Not really a classic I think, although it got high reviews at the time (2013) and it's certainly got a kick to it.
Beyond All Recognition mixed metalcore and dubstep, an electronic musical genre that was popular at the time, and did it well.
Dubstep proved to be a temporary fad and so did Beyond All Recognition, unfortunately.
I didn't actually expect to share this last week, but one of my friends shared an album that reminded me of this one and it still deserves to be heard.

No, but the question you should be asking is: do I care? 
I rarely listen to lyrics, the voice, to me, is just another instrument 
Sometimes I can even sing along without even knowing what I'm singing.

I think I'm getting old I know I'm getting old.
I liked the sound but as Nelek[^] said I didn't understand the lyrics either. But that's not what bothered me.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to catch Billy Idol in concert just up the road from me. He was great, singing voice was still amazing. Between songs he talked to us, but his voice was so raspy. Still great at singing, but can't talk. So I'm listening to your SOTW and all I can think of is that he isn't going to be able talk in a few years time. As I said, I've gotten old.
Your SOTW had up this one for me as the next song SEMBLANT - What Lies Ahead (Official Video) - YouTube[^]. I didn't mind it, have you (of course you have ) heard of them? what do you think of them?
