More good parts, I would say?
For example, once I bought a book from some hare krishna and that helped me raise my consciousness (and, surprisingly, improve my golf skills).
But on the other hand, I'm not so proud of having stolen a precious statue from a nice lady's mansion.
Actually, I AM proud.

Short answer: No
Long answer:
If those parts are microservices (MS), I'd make sure that the system level tests are not exhaustive.
Within a MS, I'd make sure that my integration tests are not based on behavior (I'd rather unit-test behavior).
My behavioral tests shall not repeat.
Hope it made sense

That's a crazy coincidence. Just yesterday I reconfigured my retro console after almost a year and Wind Jammers was one of the first games I tried.

Been using mp3 players for many years. I only caved in a few months ago, because I was tired of losing scrobbles. For old nostalgic farts like me, I need my stuff to be scrobbled on Last.Fm.

That's super sad, but I don't get why there needs to be an explanation. Don't women take their husbands names most of the time in the US? In many countries that is so common. Why the big fuzz?
