My favorite part of stackoverflow was asking a question because every result from Google at the time was either not helpful... Or lead to a SO page with the same question with no answer, but was marked as a previously answered question by a moderator... And was then told by them to use Google

Like bitch I did use Google, the first 2 pages of answers filtered only for SO results were all marked as previously answered and closed by moderators!

That was the last time I used SO. Never figured out the answer to my problem either. At least chatGPT might point me in the right direction to figuring out the problem
