First time sharing this one.

The messages I never sent
are longer than the ones I did.
They fill a folder in my chest,
the ones I wrote but kept well hid.

I draft them still in quieter rooms.
I press no button, press delete.
Some things are better left as seeds
than words that land wrong on a street.

I don't know, I had a different experience. Let me know what you think. :o
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

QuantumDay

That is pretty much it. Nice one.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

ElPresidente

Not worth cutting corners on that part. Usually the annoying part is not the job itself, it is fixing the bit you did not plan for.

Let us know how it turns out.

Completely agree with that. Cashback is only worth it if you actually remember to claim it.

Worth a look if you have not already. :)
Measure twice, post once

QuantumDay

That is exactly it. Could not agree more.

Thanks for that.

I got to the same conclusion a different way but yes. Event viewer is your friend on Windows, most people never look at it.

Let us know how it goes.
Coffee first. Questions later.

There is something else going on in it I think. This is exactly the kind of conversation I come here for.

That matches what the more reliable sources are saying. It is worth looking at who benefits from a particular framing before accepting it.

I will keep following it.

Grover26

I hear you but I think that is the wrong read. Ask me again in six weeks.

PlanetOftheApes

Same here. I had something similar happen.

Cheers for sharing. :D
Honing my coding katana to slice through complex problems with precision.

BackRowBob

Been following this thread and that seems right. Useful to know.
Forum veteran. Battle hardened.

Plateau65

I would wait for a bit more before concluding that. Most people form opinions on things like this before the full picture is available.

For some reason that framing works well. I find that the things that stay with you are rarely the ones that shout the loudest.

Really good thread this.

BretHart

I see it slightly differently. Really good thread this.

Zero-Point

Seems like it from what I have seen. A lot depends on who is making the claim and what they are trying to sell alongside it.

Curious to see how this develops.
First post best post

VoidSentinel

That is the part most people skip over. Sometimes the value is in the details people nearly leave out.

Glad this came up.
Somewhere between inspired and overwhelmed

DQ Eric

Keep an eye on it, yes. Cheers for sharing that.
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Craig

That reading works but it loses something in the reduction. I find the most honest reactions come out a while after the initial response settles.

Curious what others make of it.

QuoteThat is the part most people skip over. Sometimes the value is in the details people nearly leave out. Glad this came up.

I tried that and the catch was not obvious until afterwards. Cashback is only worth it if you actually remember to claim it.

Might save you more than you think.
Lurker since the beginning

Candle

I hear you but I think that is the wrong read. Good debate though, fair play. ;)
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
