Oh, my, so much fail in such a small space.

The primary advantage of this is it is sortable and the canonical way to sort is to covert into ASCII strings and compare them?

That is just one of the fails... I will stop before I go into rant mode...

How to get access to The Soapbox?

I didn't realise that the Soapbox still existed yet when I search for messages I get recent hits from it, I just don't seem to be able to access it.
Do I need to request access somehow?

If you notice all those message are date 1 Sept 2021, so something odd there. Maybe @Chris-Maunder needs to clean them out.

So, you are saying there is a "possibility" that a covert, underground, secret society of soap-boxers exists?

very interesting. Big Grin | :-D

You must know the secret password and the secret handshake. Only then will you be allowed to start down the eldritch path to the Soapbox, with terror and death lurking on both sides of the path. Smile | :)

Actually, no. The Soapbox was shut down some time ago.

Trailer: Star Trek: Picard | Season 2 | Official Trailer - YouTube[^] Looks interesting.

Release date? Ah ... well ... "February 2022". A little vague, but it's still five or six months away. Sigh | :sigh:

Not to get off on a tangent, but I thought the Mandalorian sucked. I have no desire to see any more of it. Felt like a Disney fluff piece. After reading The Expanse, I just expected more out of a space opera.
