Does this have a name other than 'a wave'?

Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts

'Lincoln in the Bardo' (2017) George Saunders. A bit late to this title but got restarted with Saunders after finding 'A Swim in a Pond in the Rain'. Now I have to read/re-read all the Russian short stories but before that, I found a signed, hard-cover, first edition of 'Lincoln in the Bardo' at my local used bookstore! It's a trip but I'm along for the ride.

David Eddings? I read him way back when I was a kid (~35 years ago). Think the series was called The Belgariad or Belgarion. The first 3-6 books were fun in a light yet captivating, magicy, fantasy way.

I'm on a Galaxy S7'edge' that I really need to migrate away from. I don't want the foldable, and I'm not into iphones. How good/bad is the Galaxy S24 in this situation?

I thought 'Kay' was too obvious

As I understand it, there's a huge downside to federated software in the requirement to be Always Online. Lots of people have slow internet connections, or no connection at all, preventing them from accessing their software. Everyone should be able to use the programs/apps they have without regard to whether they are online or can get online.

Congratulations! Please, do a TedTalk or something!

There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins

Thanks! That worked

He'll probably get some total write-off when it fails and get $44B returned to him (from the tax payers, of course)
