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.

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.

I'm out. Too many possible substitutions and combinations for me.

OK - I'll take it ...

Two fish MARLIN,PIKE
with direction S
help a tar splice.
MARLINSPIKE
(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.)

Never even heard the word. 
Thanks for saving me some time. I was about to revisit it starting with COD...

I learned splicing, using a marlinspike, at college but failed to get the answer today. Just another example of my creeping senility.

Well, better luck tomorrow!

I looked at the linked article Dissipative Kerr Solitons.
Trying to read a couple of paragraphs of it made me realize, yet again, that there is so much in this world I will never understand before my time runs out.
Though if I did understand it as written, I probably would not be able to enjoy Doctor Who. Even a little bit.

Hi,
Sorry about that, I've updated the link and replaced the link with the equivalent on the Nature website. The paper is mostly irrelevant and covers alot of their experimental setup. The target audience for the paper would be their peers looking to duplicate the experiment. Not really worth reading.
The speaker in the MSR video (Tobias Kippenberg) works at the K-lab/EPFL[^] and if you are interested they have a YouTube channel that covers the research in-depth.

The last paragraph of the 2nd article is a classic. 
I'm still grinning and chuckling now, an embarrassingly long time after reading it.
Nice find.. the three of 'em.

Regarding the first; this does mean that literally I have an old head on young (relatively) shoulders.

Those are interesting articles. The one about time being quantized actually doesn't surprise me given that space is quantized.
