Neil was unlike any other rock drummer. He was quiet, softly spoken, introspective, articulate and loved reading books. The complete antithesis of a rock musician. He will be sorely missed

I have two of his books and they're both excellent. Ghost Rider is particularly poignant and a real insight into a very private man who always shunned fame and recongition.

When the news came through on Friday people on my various social media feeds started posting about Rush - people I would never have considered to be Rush fans. Even some punk pages I follow wrote eulogies. Like many of them I can't say I have listened to much Rush recently (although I did have a 2112 revisit a couple of months ago) but Rush were a huge part of my musical upbringing - for several years in my late teens 2112, All the World's a Stage, Hemispheres, Farewell to Kings and Exit Stage Left were never far from my turntable.

My first concert, July 5 1981 Alpine Valley Music Theater, the Moving Pictures tour. Will never forget it, Neal was THE guy to watch, good god what a monster! Saw them many times after that and never once did they fail to deliver the goods. A huge talent, a seemingly humble man, that will be sorely missed. It's hard to think that we'll never hear him play again.

Same. I've seen Rush 4 times including their amazing Time Machine tour. Always put on a brilliant show. There were always far more air drummers at Rush shows that air guitarists. The eulogies coming out from other musicians and drummers is a testament to how highly regarded Neil was amongst his peers.
A truly sad loss to music and the likes of which I doubt I will ever see in my lifetime again.

In VS2017, I think, stashes are handled by an extension, and there is a "Stashes" tab on Team Explorer. Now in 2019, I haven't added any extensions, but see the ability to stash is already there, on the "Changes" tab of Team Explorer.
However, this stash feature only auto-assigns a read-only name to each stash based on something like the most recent commit message. Unlike 2017, I cannot enter a name for my stash. I have a particular naming convention for stashes, and now with 2019 taking that away from me, what am I to do to understand the contents/phase of each stash.
Doesn't anyone else miss this feature, or have I missed something and you can happily name stashes?

If you add some text in the comment box before stashing your changes it will be used as the name of the stash...

What comment box? The one used for commit messages normally? There is no other comment box anywhere near the stash menu.

That's the one...
When you are going to 'Changes' enter some text then pick 'Stash all'... it should do the trick...

...without sugar, beer and alcohol. Running 3 miles a day, no meat, dairy or flour. No caffeine! The change has been fantastic! I feel great! A healthy diet, gluten free, caffeine-free and sugar-free, and a 2-hour workout every day.
I don't know whose status this is, but I was really proud of them. So I decided to copy and paste.

It's always nice to improve yourself but friendly reminder that gluten is only actually a concern for an estimated 1% of the population. For everyone else it's purely a placebo effect. Whole grains have important vitamins you will need to find a replacement for in your diet to stay healthy

I read it. He's posting a message from someone else and he's saying he's proud of them. I'm responding that there's nothing wrong with self-improvement, but anyone that reads that and thinks "hey, I should do that too because it sounds (and says) healthy!" might want to know it's not so cut and dry.

Your answer is really confusing... either you didn't understand them, or I didn't, or you went surprisingly off topic 
But otherwise, continuing this off topic line of thought, before declaring many people hypochondriac, I like to bring your attention to the confirmed fact that food allergy are indeed on the rise. For totally unexplained and puzzling reasons...

A little off-topic to be fair. Just a caution to be responsible with health trends that aren't always healthy for everyone. I have a close nutritionist friend so I hear rants about these fad diets all the time
