Face it. There are 2 types of people:
0: Self-reliant problem solvers
1: Help vampires

You know you're in trouble when Google returns < 2 pages! Laugh | :laugh:

I've only asked 1 question in the 12+ years I've been here...and that was because I simply did not have access to the SQL environment my customer was having problems with. (availability groups)

I've only answered a half-dozen or so questions in QA (when I was really bored) but have found it to be a thankless experience and not worth the effort.

I also wonder if the 'give me codez' mentality is more prevalent in the millennials/younger generation where they've never had to work to find their own answers. Before Google when we started doing this, you had to be type 0 to even get by. Answers were found on the local MSDN or in thick paperbacks...usually accompanied by a lot of trial and error! (and swearing!) Laugh | :laugh:

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
