Congratulations once again to the Towers Watson retirement account website on winning the annual award for worst password rules:

• annual password change required (so, change on every visit if you only go there once every tax season)
• password change is done in a popup window for some reason?
• many silly requirements
• special secret requirements revealed only when you fail them

Idle thoughts: why on earth do colleges and universities allow students to double major? It's just a trap for overachieving students. In the best case, they get a degree they don't benefit from in any way and miss out on a more well-rounded and less-stressful college experience. Ain't nobody actually needs two undergraduate degrees, and we do students a disservice by letting them think it's some kind of achievement.

Thinking of participating in #AdventOfCode this year? Here's a starter project for you to get up and running in #Swift. The project works in both Xcode and using SwiftPM on Mac, Windows, or Linux.

@airspeedswift Ben, you might be our only hope, are we doing something very wrong here? This seems like a Swift issue: https://github.com/apple/swift/issues/69965

The code is not working and YET AGAIN, it is because I failed to only change one thing at a time.
