I Tried Creating a Game Using Real-world Geographic Data - YouTube[^]
At 3:55 he experiences the "SQUIRREL!" phenomena, where a programmer is working at a blistering pace, and then sees something in the data that makes him go, "Hmmmm", and his brain force him off into a non-productive tangent.
And at 18:06, he has another "SQUIRREL!" moment, and spends a whole day on that tangent. I can hear the next day's meeting now:
"Sorry. The project is a day behind..."

Yay! You are up tomorrow! 
I figured that would either get solved pretty quick, or I'd get questions about "did I forget something?" - but I liked it!

I see there's a lot of versions, and the variants names are very confusing.
Which is the latest, good one that I can under $2000.
My requirements:
1. 256GB+ Disk
2. intel 11th gen or Ryzen equivalent
3. 16GB Ram
4. Stylus
5. 13/14" display
6. Max 3.5lbs
Any suggestions?

This video is hilarious : https://9gag.com/gag/awzbwX4[^]
It shows a parking lot dude pulling a prank on a guy who refuses to move his cart to the corral which is just a few parking spots over. There is a narrator who giggles throughout and is pretty funny too.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

This one is staged. There's no way the guy never looks on the other side of the car or notices the dude in his mirror.
I've heard a guy on radio do Cart narcs (sp?) that's very funny. He confronts people that are too lazy to put their cart back.

Might be staged, but the LOLing of the girl is spontaneous enough to be contagious

Like I mentioned before I got the greenlight to use a WROVER and my GFX library in a commercial product I am working on, since the end client wanted all the screens moved from landscape to portrait anyway, meaning all the graphics have to be redone.
The new library has changed the game for me though. It's like stepping into civilization after being lost in the wilderness.
Me to my client (with the old graphics lib): Where does the end client want this text placed on the screen?
Me to my client (with the new graphics lib): I want the company's branding package, preferably in digital media - company colors, fonts, logos.
It's an entirely different playing field. I went from struggling to place junky fonts pixel perfect to wondering if I have the flash space to hold all the digital assets/content I can now display. It's a good problem to have.

This remind us, once more, that the tremendous progress in computing power is not just hardware... it's also better software!

Does anyone have reliable information/links as to when Azure development (i.e. Azure Functions, app services, etc.) can be done based on .NET 6?
Yes, I did a search, and no, I did not find anything definitive. It could be too soon, or maybe my search pattern needs improvement.
Thanks in advance.

(A maritime tool used for rope work, including splicing two ropes together: Beginner Friendly Splicing - How To Splice 3 Stranded Rope Together - YouTube[^] - you need a Marlinspike for the thicker sheets they used on Tall Ships.)
