I thought of URINALS - but missed the anagram completely and couldn't justify it ... was trying to fit THRONES in there!

Yeah, but if we start making special cases for people you'll be 18:00 before we know it ...

When I went to design my epub reader I tried to make it dual mode, such that it could operate in low memory conditions, like with 300kB available albeit more slowly.
I did this by streaming everything from files, including fonts, zip files, markup and images, thus avoiding RAM allocations, while using the 4MB of extended RAM when available by loading the files I was streaming into RAM and then using the same code to stream from them, since seeks are virtually instant and reads are really fast compared to file streams.
So for example, on a WROOM I extract EPUB zip content by reading directly from the file, but if I'm on a WROVER with 4MB of RAM I can load the EPUB/zip into memory and then quickly extract from it.
I made this design decision and took on the inherent risk that it wouldn't get me the necessary performance gain before I wrote the first line of code.
I've been sweating bullets hoping it would meet my requirements and thus not relegate the entire project to the dustbin.
It works. My hypothesis held. I am so relieved right now.

Congratulations

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.

Wow. That's pretty bad.

Many months ago Griff mentioned how he enjoyed The Expanse. I had never heard of it, so I sampled one episode. I ended up binge watching all 4 seasons (twice - I blush to disclose). Now I am anxiously awaiting season 5 in December. Then a few weeks ago he mentioned Clarkson's Farm. Another good recommendation. It was good for a frequent giggle. Now I am awaiting season 2. Somehow my funny bone seems more in line with British humor.
Thanks Griff! Please keep the recommendations coming!

Morphine. No one chooses to, it just happens. 30 cm scar on my stomach.
I'm an addict. It helped me work. That's a lousy excuse, but only those who work are fed.
If you in a similar position, seek help.

I have been clean (narcotics and alcohol) since 2001. You can do this.

I have to. Some people depend on me just being alive.
Tomorrow will be my last day, for sure.
