My ten year old nephew - the kid you can't get to sit still, the kid that plays on travel baseball teams - was singing it almost nonstop on a family beach trip a few weeks ago. Drove his father crazy but his girl cousins loved it!

512. I have 256 and been running into space issues. Probably my fault for having half of Amazon Music cached on my phone though.

The start time for the next run of all agent jobs gets set to the next time it would run after that new time in the future, even after the clock returns to correct time. We disabled this and the issue never occurred again. It would be better if this were disabled by default, or removed completely.

This bit us badly earlier this year on several SQL Server AG nodes. Nothing like your SQL server jumping several months into the future, then returning to real time...

Where did you have the film developed? Will they scan old negatives too or just new ones? I have about 30 rolls of film worth of negatives from the 90s and early 2000s, mostly 35mm, but some Advantix (look it up) that I'd love to get scanned.

Personal devices... My last desktop was 12 years old when I built a new one 2 years ago. Laptop is 7 years old and works fine. Work devices... I can squeeze 6 years out of the crappiest hardware. But considering I do most of my work in VMs on server hardware, I don't need much for Git and VS Code.

I've started kicking off the update installation when I get into the office on Work Church Monday, so I can start the reboot when I leave the office for Work Church.
