Lousy ambiguous temperatures! Why can't it be -40°?

lucky you.
Nothing beats a nice cold day.

Do they pay you for living there? and, if they do, is it really worth it?
Otherwise I'd move to a warmer place like sunny Cancún or beautiful Cozumel.
We are having a cold winter here in Guadlajra at 20°C and can't wait for spring!

Go with Kelvin. It'll look warm, in writing, and you won't have to deal with minus signs.

Up in north Norway, some years ago (I think it was 1999), they had a long period of even colder weather; they were down to -51.2°C. People were joking that they didn't need street lights - the power lines were glowing enough to light up the roads. (Lots of Norwegian homes are heated by electricity; from newyear, oil furnances are no longer allowed for heating.) The authorities were seriously afraid that the power system would break down.
The sheriff of Kautokeino (a Sami village in the middle of the Finnmark plain) was interviewed on TV, and asked what whould happen in case of a power breakdown.
Well, he answered calmly, That would lead to significant reduction in the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.

I love how SSMS 18 reconnects tabs automatically. For example, I work in the office and from home each day and so with SSMS v 17 I had to always be reconnecting my tabs each time I opened my laptop back up; but I recently got a new laptop and installed v18 and they automatically reconnect.
If a previous version did this, I was unaware of it. But I love it.
It's the little things in life that bring joy.

oh my!
microsoft have added a useful feature to one of their products
...again though it's something others have had for years.
who knows, one day they may just catch up to the rest of the industry in actual user-useful features instead of their usual pointless bloat and at best barely useful new items.
better warn the grandkids, at this rate [very optimistically] it may be in their generation.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Interesting perspective. I am unaware of any software companies making better products than Microsoft makes. Typically, when one makes a better product than another the company will become more successful.

mycroft holmes is a true ms lemming, for him they can do no wrong.
for mine, I appreciate their products are good,
but they do have a problems:
1. bloating with features often that few if any needed
2. slow (sometimes non) including features and fixes people have been requesting for long times
ms are still all about bling, not so much users.

While I agree with both your points I am not interested in denigrating a suite of products I have made a living from for over 30 years and still consider best of breed (this does EXCLUDE office).

Never mind that; did they update the icons?

They did, in fact, update the app icon...or was that already there back in 17? I can't recall. Either way, they've ensured it's now uglier than ever.
In the name of "simplifying" things, y'know...'cuz you can't handle seeing too many colors at once on your screen.

Normally, acupuncture works more quickly than that. You might want to get a new puncturist.

I mean they never announced the winners.
I suspect I won, which is one of the reasons I'm eager for the results.
