I've had an unprintable character in my source code that would foul up VS. They'd be at the end of a line and I would only notice them if I hit End. No idea how it got there but removing it fixed things.

I have my Windows installation and all my apps on an SSD. Everything else (so all my data, including my VS projects, my email folders, etc) are on spinning rust. This gives me excellent performance without hammering the SSD.

That's how I have my DAW in the rumpus room configured because the latest written tune of the month is also a never finished source of obsession.

What Daniel said. I have SSD's in various laptops and am constantly doing code development and database operations. Never had a problem, and some of these SSD's are 5+ years old.

Did you try rebooting the PC

Elephanting elephant! I must have spent an hour finding a single matching word after 4. Gotta recalibrate my radar it seems.
At least my Worldle OTD was fine:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

you surely are thinking lateral...
3rd word as slightly off track...

Not really - with that one known letter in the middle and all the "excluded letters", I'm down to triple vowel or "exotic consonant" words. And there aren't that many of them (that I can think of, anyway!)

No, really!
I just remembered we own an electric fan, so I'm now getting cool breezes every couple of seconds (and so is Herself in the next room).
That's better - there isn't a breath of wind out there, and it's hot and sticky.
For Wales, it's really hot - it's actually not raining and hasn't for days now

I guess A/C is too expensive and would not be used after the current conditions.
My sister-in-law lives in San Antonio, and they are running temps at 108 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm American and too lazy to look up the conversion.
They haven't had rain since February. It's sort of OK, as I don't like her husband at all.
BTW I'm sure you have a lot of fans on this forum. I myself am one.
A/C is Cool!

Although we have several fans, even big ones, we decided to flee the house and went biking in the woods near the town of Epe in the Netherlands.
We biked close to the edge of a military shooting range (didn't get hit luckily), and as always my thought was:
those military always seem to take the nicest spots for themselves.
Very nice woods and patches of purple heather, even spotted a fitch and a wild boar with piggies!
We also decided to try the famous "Ossenstal pannenkoek", but that proved a bit too heavy, it's a kind of pancake but deep-fried with bacon

Every room has 1 or more ceiling fans, some have standing fans as well and we have ducted A/C - welcome to the tropics. We also go 3-4 months without rain and everything goes brown then mother nature dumps huge volumes of water and the trifids return.
I do hope the rain, when it comes, is you're usual drizzle and not the torrents we get.

Then I wouldn't wail about it.

Same over in the Netherlands.
I have a fan in the attic, but it hasn't been used for a few years.
Tried it a few weeks back, but it screeched so much I don't want to use it anymore.
27C inside the house now (keeping everything closed to keep the heat out).
28.5C yesterday afternoon

My house was built in 1989 before building codes went bat crap crazy with insane levels of sealing and insulation. One of my favorite appliances in the house is a "whole house attic fan." I'm in the SE US, so we run 32-35C most of August. But when September comes and Autumn cools things off, I open all the windows. I love the fresh air.
