GAH. working with the raspi pico just makes me angry because of how confusing and unhelpful it can be. like I wrote some code, which I know works (because I've used it before!) and I copy it onto the device. I reconnect the device and... it doesn't enumerate. it doesn't even error. it just acts like there's no USB there

@foone Fixed for certain values of "fixed" eh?

I somehow managed to break Visual Studio so that it can't render text in source code.

Everything else seems to work fine, but if you click on a .cpp file, it just shows you a blank window.

@foone Possibly a dumb question, but how do you know it's a rendering issue?

@foone I always used the Letraset-style stickers and a special marker pen. You needed a drill press, too, unless you were doing surface-mount (which I don't think we'd even heard of).

Why US hockey players often speak with “fake Canadian” accents

They don't want to sound Canadian, but like a hockey player—a "linguistic persona."
