It needs to be scoped to the dep so conflicting deps have independent dependencies.

If foo 1.1 takes a dep on Bar 1.2, and baz 2.3 takes a dep on Bar 1.4, both Bar contexts are tested with their respective libraries but forcing Bar to a particular global version can have problems and both versions of Bar are needed to have tested behavior.

Examples mentioned and OP change the global behavior vs proper dependency management.

One big realization I had how sophisticated the ancient world is, the Antithikara Mechanism. Device built by ancient greeks in 200BC using thousands of years of astronomical learning to build the first KNOWN Analog Computer and devices of similar sophistication are not seen until the late middle ages / early renaissance.

I got about 5-6 hours of sleep, and meals were 10 minutes. Basically most waking hours for a week.

1 week of that is not that big a deal as long as it's not expected.

I was at ER today for an ear infection due to high pain, sudden onset, and urgent care wait of 6 hrs. Waited 20 min.

Sometimes it's the best option.
