No joke: I was taking herself to Hospital this morning- nothing serious - and there were road works, with warning signs:
"Roadworks 600 yards"
"Roadworks 400 yards"
"Roadworks 200 yards"
"Roadworks 100 yards" And I realized that I no longer have an "innate sense" of how long 100 yards is - a metre, yes. 100 metres, yes. A foot, yes. An inch? Maybe. But not a 100 yards. "Y miles" I can relate to, but not "Y Km". Strange but true.

91 meters.
For all practical senses, when you're sitting in a car that is, you can substitute with meters.

A few years back I saw:
Quote: "Roadworks 500 yards"
"Roadworks 300 metres"
"Roadworks 200 metres"
"Roadworks 100 yards"
Just to show we can cope with everything - all at once!
My father went to a wood store and asked for a length of 2x6 to be cut to 4ft, 2.2cm - which they did precisely, without blinking an eye.

That's a lot to think about, but for now I think I'll keep it (at least until my peppers all ripen)>
There's no telling where I'll land up.

Madness: Doing the same thing over and over and getting different (read weird) results.
VS2019, community edition. Office/Excel addin solution, about 4 or 5 years old.
Working fine on system A, have to fix a user error. "Don't let users make errors, they create unpredictable results". OK, so it's a bug, not a user error.
Create a fix, er um, hack.
Decide to copy the project to a newer system. Both on E: drive.
Get an error on build, "can't delete some file, access denied". Fix permissions, rebuild. Now: "can't delete same file, it is in use".
Move the solution from E:\ to C:\users\source\repos
"Can't open: the blah.csproj file it is in use". It isn't. Restart VS, wash, rinse repeat.
Delete the .csproj file and copy it back (from same E: source).
Solution builds and runs as designed, such as it is.
Copy solution back to the E: drive. Still builds and runs.
Color me confused. Do I get a piece of cheese? Or the dunce cap for moving the solution?
I just declared victory and released it.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

And now you know why letting Office anywhere near a LOB solution is a recipe for disaster - or at least a load of frustrating issues.

That's hilarious. I must have misread it as "pile" instead of "piles" and thought of "scrapheap" based solely on the definition, and then dismissed it because it was only 9 letters.
