Hi
Two things. One, sorry for the delay today. Had to clean up some messes from spending all day doing production server updates yesterday. It's always a ball/ovary clenching moment when you finish a production server major OS version update. I had to do three yesterday. Fortunately the fallout was minimal. Two, I forgot the research paper for the issue yesterday! Luckily a reader reminded me of it in the Discord channel yesterday, so I just added it in today's issue. Anyway, here is that juicy content you've been salivating for.
