I might be getting my Guineas confused but if I've got them right, at one point their chief export was mercenaries.
Surprising nobody, there was a coup. Gee.
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.

Interestingly, guinea pigs were never their export product, because they're not from Guinea, which is not completely surprising since they're in no way related to pigs either

Well, geotargit claims that there are:
- 6 places called "Daniel Island" (2 in Canada, 3 on the East coast of the US, 1 in Antarctica)
- 5 places called "Daniels Island" (3 in Canada, 1 in the US, and 1 in Ireland)
- A Daniels Hill in Antarctica
- A Pfeffer Lake (in Canada), and a few places in Germany

But Daniel is a very common name in multiple languages

Well, if you want the full list, they have 191 place names that start with "Daniel". In addition, there are some villages I know of personally, but do not appear in their database. This also excludes variant spellings. 
Just to make you feel better, Papua New Guinea also has the Rossel Mountains.

There are actually three Mount Rossels 
Another one on Guadeloupe, an overseas French region, and one on Antarctica.

They closest I got is a hotel in Denmark that's spelled wrong anyway, "Foroyar" so you win this round Red Baron!

Built a new computer with :
GIGABYTE B450M DS3H AM4 Motherboard
AMD AMD RYZEN 5 2600X WRAITHS CPU (6Core with hyperthreading, 12 cores)
IPSG 16GB 2X8GB DDR4 3200 KIT RAM
SAMSUNG E 500GB 970EVO NVME M.2 SSD
Nvidia GEForce GTX 1660
Sorry, not yelling -- it's copied from my order.
This computer is soooooo fast! Except...
Installed the latest Win10 1903 release.
I install the Nvidia drivers and it runs perfectly. Blazing fast running Android Studio, Android Emulator while running Visual Studio at the same time.
Except...
Every time I reboot (or shutdown and turn on computer next day) Win10 re-installs the graphics drivers it thinks is best and the computer crashes within moments of starting FireFox or Android Studio or whatever. So I install the appropriate graphics drivers again. Everything is fine until windows installs the wrong driver again.
Check this laughable BSOD out:

Yes, if you call a support person please provide them with the stop code: KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE and make sure you yell it loud enough.
Here's another BSOD I've seen : https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pf4pl.jpg[^]
Those of you who like Win10 will experience sympathy, others will let the schadenfreude rain down.
FireFox, Android Studio
The odd thing is that the generally the first time I boot up each day the machine will crash.
Then I reboot and after that everything is fine.
How could this be true? The computer cannot tell the difference from one boot-up to another. I don't get it. 
FireFox seems to always be the culprit, but Android Emulator and/or Android Studio can generally get the crash too.
Crash Dump
I've looked over the Crash Dump with WinDb and I see that FireFox is the culprit but not much else.
EDIT
I downloaded Opera Web Browser and I closed FireFox so I can test for a while.
I have Android Studio, Android emulator, streaming the Apple Event livestream in Opera window and posting here all at the same time as a test.
I immediately got an error in NVidiaShare.exe which crashed becuase it "couldn't read a file from the m.2 drive." That makes me wonder if I have some kind of disk errors.
Oy! New super fast computer and I'm moving slower than ever.
EDIT 2
Well, it's not just FF, because Opera crashed. Loads of fun here. 
EDIT 3
Apps kept crashing so I did another test. I ran the Nvidia driver installation again (in case Win10 invisibly updated them) and it seems like this is fixing it. So I really think it is the Graphics Drivers and Win10 overwriting them every time.
if (Win10_update overwrites graphic drivers)
{
Win10_update = TERRIBLE!!!
}
EDIT 4
Running for hours now after running NVidia driver installation and no apps have crashed and win10 is stable. Why, Win10!?! Why do you do this to us!?!
Well, as long as I don't reboot...
