Feel free to downvote if you consider this upvote driving. But if you like to play around with Mandelbrots, I've just updated my fractal browser so you can save and open fractals, among other items! If you are bored on a Saturday night, hope this alleviates your problem!
(It doesn't show as being updated, but it has a 1/16/21 update at the beginning of the article, unless CP hides revisions until after they've been reviewed.)

Thank you for pointing it out. They are now working, but I had to jury-rig them because CP's system seemed to be broken. I'll post it on bugs-n-sugs to prompt a final solution.

I think there must be something wrong, I keep on zooming and it is always showing the same shape.
|

Is this a real problem, or a subtle joke about the nature of fractals? Mousewheel zoom is all it takes. Of course, if you don't have a mousewheel on your system, you'll have to code up a different solution.

First time that my garlic comes up any significant, so I do not know if there is any relation between the thickness of the stem and the bulb size to be, but if there I may have some apple-size garlic bulbs down in the soil...

There are, of course, different breeds of garlic, but I've always found that the really grow best after a good solid freeze - often poking through the snow in late February. If it's elephant garlic, then apples sized is about normal (depending upon the type of apples you like).
Somehow, it doesn't seem like this post will be at all helpful.

I hope this garlic will be good with a bit of cold (3-5 C) as show and freezing cold is not guaranteed here, just because we call it winter

I don't really think so, no. I've grown heaps of garlic.
Size is also not an indicator of quality. I tell my wife that all the time

Yes, generally speaking the thicker the stem the bigger the bulb. You'll find out in the summer.

On the same note, if all politicians, bankers and lawyers were sitting in lifeboats on the North Atlantic in the middle of a raging storm, who would be saved?
The world.

Regrettably, even sharks won't eat lawyers, so some of them would survive ...

North Atlantic, rough waters and freezing temperatures. I don't think we really need much help from the sharks.

All those politicians - the volume of hot air would warm the water pretty quick, and the sharks would follow.
We'd need a lawyer seeking missile system.

I used to have connections, but why don't we just improve the plan? We need a big ship that seems unsinkable with security doors that help only if the water does not get over a certain mark and trap many peaople inside. Too few lifeboats would also help. Has anyone rebuilt the Titanic yet? Let's treat all those guy to the maiden voyage.

A CEO, a lawyer, and a priest, friends since college, are out on a boat deep-sea fishing. A squall rolls in and the boat capsizes, leaving the three men treading water. Fins start circling around them, hungry sharks.
The next day a Coast Guard cutter is performing search-and-rescue when they find the lawyer, the lone survivor, floating amongst the circling sharks. A young seaman asks the captain "Sir? How did he survive? Why didn't the sharks eat him like the other two?"
"Profesional courtesy", the captain replied.

it is called professional courtesy.
darn someone beat me too it. LOL

Problem is, all the sharks (fish type) would tow them back to land as a professional courtesy.

There was another question (in General Programming) regarding RAM extension from 8 to 16 GByte. I was tempted to add a comment: Well, if you can't make it work, then relax: You need no more that 8 GByte!
I didn't make the comment. This user might belong to that tiny little fraction of users actually running applications with huge working sets. Every now and then, when meeting someone in person (not on the net) claiming that then "must" have 16 GByte, or their PC will be slow as a turtle, I ask them: Show me! Reboot your PC, start the programs you usually have active, and let's see what Resource Monitor says is 'In Use'! ... OK, open some large files, maybe the data segments will grow huge ...
Most of those I challenge have to dig up every piece of software they've got to come even close to the 8 GByte mark. And we all know that lots of the 'In Use' pages contain initialization code/data, or rarely used functions/data: If they were paged out, maybe a 'print' operation would be delayed by 30 or 40 milliseconds, but who would notice?
The 'real' working set is usually significantly lower than even the 'In use' size.
To prove my point, I wish I had a utility that could cause Windows to flush all its pageable memory and clear the cache/'Standby', so that all pages would have to be brought in from backing store. And 30 seconds after the cleanup operation, all active pages in memory would be those actively referenced the last 30 seconds, giving a reasonable idea about the real working set size. Your real RAM requirements.
Will Windows allow such RAM cleanup? (In other words: Is there an API for requesting such operations?)
If the answer is 'yes', has anyone created any utility to do it?
Preferably, the utility should be a service running cleanup at regular, configurable intervals, and it should be able to log 'In Use', 'Modified' and cache/'Standby' sizes, both before and after the cleanup. A switch for flushing modified pages as part of the cleanup would be a bonus. I take for granted that Administrator privileges are required to run it; that is OK.
If such a utility is available, I suspect that lots of people would be in for a surprise.
(Note: I am not talking about huge computer centers with true experts keeping the hardware configuration tuned at all times, but about hobbyists and small scale developers - and also developers in larger companies insisting that they need 16 or 32 GByte on their frontend PCs to edit files using vi, for compilation on the company build server park.)

I admit I only read half of your post, but I'd like to point out that if the page file is enabled, then the RAM use will *never* (OK, rarely) go above approx 50 to 60%. (Not scientific. Those are just my observations.)
If you really want to see how much RAM you require for your applications, temporarily disable the page file and then do the test.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
