Reading some questions often sends me off in tangents and I do stuff that is interesting to me but likely not at all helpful to the discussion.

Does this happen to anybody else?

Yesterday, after using Arduino for more than 10 years, I learned that you can change the IDE's default startup script. This was after delving down a rabbit hole of research on something completely unrelated.

Which matters to me, because I have an informational header that I add to each script so I can keep track of what it's for.

It used to happen to me more often. I'm worried that it doesn't happen as often anymore. Because that is exactly what happens in a creative mind. A creative person controls their deviating thoughts. A non creative person kills their deviating thoughts.

In Minnesota there is the "a lot of guys..." construct. As in "Jim a lot of guys wouldn't use a cutting torch on that gas tank".

On the other hand trying "a lot of gals..." tends to get you deeper in trouble.

I actually had someone try to explain to me that it was actually safer if the tank was full of gas because an empty tank would just be full of gas fumes. I don't know if he blew up or not because I got far away at that point.
