Thank you, but I will defer to you for this one. Motivates me to try and guess another one.

Damn, I got it!

You can have tomorrow if you want - I've already done one this week?

most old "farts" I know (including the one in the mirror) wouldn't put themselves down...
that's the wife's job.
[us] old farts can fix anything - except 'some' things that were 'designed completely broken.'
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

Sadly, that was based upon a time and place when things were made to last a while.
For now - the "youngin's" are used to the concept of things breaking very quickly and buy replacements. The rapid breakage has become totally acceptable, or at least, the norm.

Trouble is, if you make things that last too well, you end up going out of business.
Indeed, so good were the mills produced by these two companies that they effectively ran themselves out of business, for replacements were never needed and new distilleries requiring new malt mills (in those days) were few and far between.

true, but we still must try (hence the 'designed broken.')
last "old-time" item I bought was a push mower (i.e. no motor) ... stoopid [chinesium] thing still fell apart coz it was so badly built.

I bought one when I first bought a house - decently made but still a mistake. It's only useful for tiny lawns and someone who loves to mow frequently.
In particular, I am not one who loves to mow (ever).
Helpful Hint: Don't water a lawn. Don't fertilize it. It will grow slower - less to mow. Spend all that useful energy on a vegetable garden where at least you get something for your efforts.

The older I get the worse journalism and indeed the world is getting. Proof reading, fact checking, spelling and accuracy aren't required any more. Seems if I was born anywhere in the last 20 years I could have been a professional journalist in about Kindergarten.
Currently reading First IVF baby's 40th birthday: How a tiny girl changed science and the world - Science News - ABC News[^] on the Australian Broadcasting Corporations website and find the following which makes me want to track down Genelle Weule and beat her to death with her own shoes (reference anyone?).
In July 1978...Louise Joy Brown was born in the United Kingdom...in Oldham General Hospital, shortly before midnight on July 25.
Less than a year after Ms Brown's birth, Australia's first IVF baby, Candice Reed, was born on June 23, 1980.
Bitch Puhlease! That is 2 days short of 1 year and 11 months, or less than 2 years later. She's probably proper educated and that, with a University Degree and all, but still dumb as dog shite.

How appropriate a subject. This AM, on the way to work, I heard an short article where the talking head (radio style) talked about the speed of sound (vs. a slow city bus) as 767 miles/second
Because they're all now clueless. All they know is on their phone - and their collective batteries are otherwise dead.

The ABC, like QANTAS and SBS, do not allow physical appearance influence their presenters/stewardesses, I suspect they do not allow voice quality to have an influence either. We get some of the most horrid sounding plain looking creatures presenting our news.

At least that's what Microsoft seems to think 
Upgraded a .NET Core 2.0 project to 2.1 and I got error that Microsoft.Extensions.SomePackacge version 2.1.1 is incompatible with .NET Core 2.1.
Had to install version 2.1.0 for pretty much every package for the error to go away.
Apparently some bug in .NET Core 2.1 
And my normal .NET projects can't find System.Net.Http at runtime.
VS gets it from some folder in Project Files.
At some point I had to remove that file to make it work locally.
VS went to the GAC for the package which seemed to work, but it fails (at runtime) when deployed through the build server (although it builds just fine).
Tried installing the NuGet package, but then the reference cannot be found at all (and the build fails) 
The problem is possibly that I have one or more packages installed that depend on the same package in .NET Core (or .NET Standard)...
What the sh*t Microsoft!?
Get your packages together! 
At least I get to experience what this DLL hell I've been hearing about is all about... It's not a bug, it's a feature

You are very wrong!
DLL hell is reserved for W32/64 native developers.
What you are facing smells more to an assembly hell.
