But this time, so is the spam detector.
Expect to see a fair number of "message closed" messages - I'll tidy up as we go, but if anyone else wants to close 'em, I'm absolutely fine with that - but hopefully, they should get discouraged soon.
Ah ... and relax ...

My "cheat" version:
INGREDIENTS
For the rum syrup:
• 150 g sugar
• 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways and seeds scraped out and set aside
• 150 ml rum
For the chantilly cream:
• 200 ml double cream
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
For the doughnuts:
• 6 plain doughnuts
• honey, for drizzling
METHOD
1. For the rum syrup: Put the sugar and 750ml water in a pan over heat, stirring regularly. Add the vanilla pod and bring to the boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the rum.
2. For the chantilly cream: In a bowl, mix the cream with the caster sugar and the seeds from the vanilla pod. Whisk together until the consistency reaches soft peaks.
3. For the doughnuts: Drop the doughnuts into the hot syrup and using tongs, turn them so that they absorb the liquid.
4. Arrange the doughnuts on a plate. Drizzle the rum syrup over the top and use two spoons to form the cream into 2-3 dollops (technical term: Quenelles) to place on top. Drizzle with honey and serve.

Hung, drawn and quartered would be too good for you. Don't faarrrkkkk with Rum unless it's that clear or spiced sh*t, don't care for either of those abominations.

I never took you for a rum snob.
Personally, I'll drink any variety of rum that you're buying.

Any dark and strong rum it is. No different to beer, light (low alcohol), mid strength or cat piss coloured not a chance.

Some standards have to be kept, I may try stuff you buy, but that's because I won't feel bad leaving them if I don't like them.

As far as rum goes, if it's not Wood's 100, it's not work drinking.

I am working on a WPF app at home.
I am really excited about the new .NET Core 3, Preview 1 announcement. Many things are great, but if I were to single out one feature in particular, I would single out that I will be able to deploy my app standalone, no .NET Framework dependency needed! 
However... I don't really want to install preview product on my machine, nor work in a VM...
So.. well.. mm.. I guess I will have to wait.
The wait is unbearable...
Any ideas when this will be going gold?!

Windows Client: 7, 8.1, 10 (1607+)
Windows Server: 20012 R2 SP1+
macOS: 10.12+
RHEL: 6+
Fedora: 26+
Ubuntu: 16.04+

For Linux, ARM32 is supported on Debian 9+ and Ubuntu 16.04+. For ARM64, it is the same with the addition of Alpine 3.8. These are the same versions of those distros as is supported for X64. We made a conscious decision to make supported platforms as similar as possible between X64, ARM32 and ARM64.
Docker images for .NET Core 3.0 are available at microsoft/dotnet on Docker Hub, including for ARM64.

Give in. VMs exist for that reason. They let you test the water with both feet.
When the worst that can happen can be undone with a Rollback command, why hesitate at all? That's what being on the bleeding edge is all about.

Mm.. I guess if I want to be on the bleeding edge, I must pay the price hey?! Mmm...

My point is that VMs reduce that price. Consider rolling back a screwed up VM, vs restoring a physical machine (even if you have a recent full-disk backup) or even worse, re-setting it up from scratch...

It's been a messy morning with the spammers and we're looking at why our filters have been a bit suboptimal, but I wanted to say a big thanks for all your help in playing an extended version of whack-a-mole, It's very much appreciated.

Hmm ... you might need a bigger limit on that card.

Shouldn't that be 2*n? (Unless beer in Canada costs C$2.53 per two liters...)

I assume you are talking directly to me. 
Though I had nothing to do with resolving the problem.
It's just that you said thanks and good things and I'm a developer so I figured I was responsible for the good stuff happening. 
So, I most humbly accept your thanks.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Will you be posting a video? I'd like to see that!
For myself, I'm off tomorrow to whack an elk, if I can. I have one week to locate, stalk without detection, and shoot a lady elk, for the crime of over-production. I know it seems cruel to many, but without hunters to thin out the ranks to match the available food and water, the entire herd would die. I can't allow that, so I'm going to do my very best to bring home about 500 lbs of delicious meat. If successful, that will become a year's supply of steaks, roasts, burger, and sausages; if not, it will be a memorable experience in the woods, in sub-freezing weather, with my best lady friend, Denise. We both drew tags in the lottery, against all odds; it would be very cool if we both fill our tags, and take an elk apiece home, but I think that unlikely. Just getting drawn was extremely unlikely! I'm hoping that I need to buy another freezer...
