I've actually had an excavator take out my network. I've also had networks taken out by forklift, train, and a semi-truck towing three other semi-trucks.

For some reason their API would not return anything for assembly. I was curious to see where it would rank too,

The book I wrote. When I first talked with the publisher he asked, "what skills would you look for in someone who wants to do your job?" And that's the premise I stuck with writing it.

From personal experience, it seems like things outside of your normal listening don't affect too much. At least in my case, my daughter making me play the Encanto soundtrack 250,000 times hasn't affected my weekly or daily playlists.

That's pretty similar with what happened with me and the train. Kept getting random drops from a plant. I went out to investigate and everything tested perfect and the network was staying up. That was until a freight train rolled by. Turns out AT&T had run the line by shoving a piece of PVC through the gravel between two cross-ties, then running the cable through it.

Basically every Windows sysadmin is indebted to Mark Russinovich and SysInternals. Fortunetly, PowerToys has come a long way because I'm pretty sure sysinternals haven't been updated since Windows XP.
