Ok, I'm sorry, I assumed you were thinking I was a snot-faced brat with lots of schooling and no common sense!

No - I was thinking you were a grumpy old fart with lots of schooling and no common sense!

It might actually be different for you.
Old geezers are usually having old knowledge. That's obviously not the case for you.

Congrats on becoming a Doctor.
As you are a doctor, I was wondering if you could prescribe something for this cough I have and treat the pain in my back and ...

I'm not that kind of doctor, so no treatment .
I recall an ad I sawn TV fdor some sort of medicine. It said, I you experience rapid heartbeat, labored breathing and confusion, see a doctor right a way. I thought, I had those symptoms. I married her and the confusion gt worse, so I guess I should have seen a doctor instead.

Gotta love using VS to make a Visual Studio Extensibility (VSIX) project.
The first one you create works.
Every one after that gives you E_INVALIDARG as soon as you try to add an AsyncPackage to the project.
So I figured VS2017 was dodgy like everyone was saying.
So I installed VS2019.
Same problem. Only I couldn't even create the one VSIX project before getting that error.
So on my system, I have one VSIX that works. I just keep adding everything into that one as a result. It's stupid.
Naturally, google turns up nothing on the problem.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Thanks for the Microsoft Rant. I'm pretty convinced IBM would have done a better job, if only OS/2 warp had a chance.
Currently on Ubuntu and experiencing the joys of installing Steam and Battle.Net.
So you found something that doesn't work. Have you tried recompiling the kernel?

I'm not. At one point, I had to work with OS/2; it was a giant pain-in-the-ass.
