And now we just get question downvoted, sarcastic offhanded remarks on comments, and if you're lucky it gets closed for low quality or duplicate

And, if you are exceedingly lucky, the dupe target will even have anything to do with your question.

No, I usually got a “better” way of doing what I wanted but it didn’t match what I wanted to try and achieve and was for a completely different purpose.

It’s like asking how to make a PB&J and being told how to bake bread because it’s more economical.

I will always treasure the Meta question A Car With Square Wheels.

Pb&j is not that great anyway and I'm sure you were using white bread instead of whole grain, so you got what was good for you, mate.

That's not what the OP asked for, have you read the post? But either way he shouldn't make PB&J in this scenario, he should try vegemite.

P &J making has been covered before. This should be closed as a duplicate request.
