I am wishing a return to normal weather for you very soon. The heat is really nasty and dangerous for some people and critters.

Nice Spring weather! It's been around 48° C here for a few weeks. Everything I've planted since March is already dead, since we've had no measurable rain this year.

A cold shower/soak does wonders. Saves on AC also.

STEPPE?
Not sure about the PE bit though ...

plain STEPPE

Once I'd posted the "dunno what PE is" bit, I realized what it was ...

I have no idea how you could come up with that without realizing what it was!

"Plain" gave me "Steppe" right away, and "Stage" is a "Step", so that confirmed it. But I couldn't get "So to speak" to give me "PE".
I blame dehydration ...

well I blame the dehydration too, but in my case the "PE" still hasn't dawned on me... come on, do tell!

"Steppe" sounds like "step" - so no "PE" clue part needed.

Runway
Runway (UK) = what aeroplanes take off from / land on. Plane is a homophone for plain (so to speak)
Runway (US) = cat walk (UK) - stage for fashion shows
Hope I'm wrong

Ooo! Seen YAUT for OG came up whilst I was posting. Phew!

In my struggle to get the M5 Stack Core2 working with all of its peripherals I've been writing a ton of code.
I got the screen working, the power management module working, the real-time clock working, the gyro working and the touch panel working.
*cracks knuckles*
And I'm really close to getting the speaker and microphone working, after teaching myself I2S and the ESP32's hardware I2S driver. That's what I'm happy about right now.
It was actually pretty easy to set up once I figured out what parameters to give it. I made my Core2 sound like a little siren.
Pretty soon I'll have it playing MP3s.

Bravo!
Maybe you can duplicate my favorite app from the DOS days. It was a little pop up that read, "Water detected in drive. Beginning spin cycle." That was followed by a whirring noise from the onboard speaker that sounded just like a washing machine spin cycle. When it spun down, the message continued, "Spin dry complete," and closed the pop up. It was fun to install on a victim's machine and tie it to a less commonly used key as a hotkey. I found a copy a few years ago, but there's no way it will run on a modern machine. I miss clever programming like that. Much more fun than anything practical...

Linkage : APOD: 2022 July 18 - Stephans Quintet from Webb, Hubble, and Subaru[^].
That's the APOD from Monday, the 18th. What I found most interesting about it is the text where it describes how the Hubble and Webb telescopes are sensitive to different bandwidths of light. The effect is really cool when images from them are combined.
PS - today's image is pretty cool too. Be sure to check it out.

Looks like the Hubble imaged Stephan's Quintet around "July/August, 2009". And Subaru took it's image around the same time on "2009-05-25". So there is around 12 years between those and the Webb image.
I wonder how that affects the composite image.

Given the distances involved - I doubt that you could notice any difference.
Given a star moving transverse to the line of sight at the speed of light, its angular movement would be 12/290,000,000 radians, or 0.009 seconds of arc. As stars typically move at a dmall fraction of the speed of light, the difference would be immeasurable.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yeah, but I'm wondering about brightness difference[^], not motion across the sky. There's alot of dust in there, I wonder how it affects the composite image.
