    1. Well, I finally converted the Wait Wait Stats Page database from using utf8 and utf8_general_ci to using utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci for character set and collation, respectively, across the board. That was a chore and a half! Also, thanks a lot, MySQL! /s

    I mean, who really thought that using 3 bytes instead of 4 bytes per character for utf8 was a smart idea? So many silly and stupid decisions that were made towards the earlier years of MySQL development really are coming back to bite a lot of people.
