      This will sound super-n00bish, but oh well. $args in PowerShell has changed my life. That is all. Continue with your regularly scheduled ML trolling, lurking, and posting.

      How so?

      I really only ever used it to check for extra arguments/parameters in my functions / scripts to output an error if the $args.count is higher than it should be, for example.

      What are you using it for?

      I'm working on a script right now that will make use of start-job and using $args lets me pass the value of a variable between scopes. In this case, I'd be passing a value from earlier in the script into the start-job scriptblock.

      Man, it took me forever to figure out how to do something similar!

      You could just set the -scope of the variable to global...

      I've never used -scope when defining a variable. I'll have to try that out. 🙂

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/set-variable?view=powershell-5.1

      Change to version 6 documentation if you are using that.

                      @Romo had a small car accident this morning, so we are extra busy around here. And we have four people to interview when he gets back!

                        3-5 cups a day will definitely cause sleeping issues.

                          I sleep just fine, and i drink way more than that. But my body has had so much caffeine on a daily basis for so long it just isn't funny.

                          I know it cannot be healthy.

                            your body has gotten adjusted to it. I had quit coffee, beer, and tea for 3 years! Now i'm a lightweight!

                              I used to drink over the standard toxicity limit and felt okay. But long term, it takes a toll.

                                    I had a tripple shot of espresso and a Mocha frappucino from Starbucks this morning... I should be floating about six inches off the floor right now... but it didn't do a dang thing for me.
