There's a battle playing out in the world of Wordpress, and it's not pretty. There's a company called WP Engine who provide hosting for WordPress sites, and Wordpress, the underlying wordpress engine (I'm going to stick with lower case now). Wordpress is owned a company called Automattic; I'll leave you to dig into those relationships.
Anyway, WP Engine recently sent a cease and desist letter to Automattic to stop making harmful statements about WP Engine. Automattic have responded by sending WP Engine cease and desist letters to stop using wordpress trademarks (the WP part from what I can see, although wordpress previously stated it didn't have this trademarked).
Fastforward to the weekend; WP Engine provided a wordpress plugin called Advanced Custom Fields. Apparently there's a security weakness in it which WP Engine have a patch for. Automattic suspended WP Engines ability to publish plugins; took the source code and forked it to create their own version called Secure Custom Fields, and the guy in charge of Automattic has been having a meltdown in public. He's been insulting plugin authors; attacking them, and appears to be banning people from wordpress. It's all very sordid.

I'm going to commission a camera crew to start following open source projects and pitch the footage to TLC for a new reality TV program. I'll be rich.

We evacuated to get out of the hurricane's path on Monday last week. The storm left over a million and a half customers without power in the Tampa Bay area. When we returned last Saturday, our home was undamaged although the water rose high enough to very nearly get into our floor level. We had no power, but we had water and the area's sewage system worked.
Tampa Electric Company put in a gigantic effort and restored power to about a quater of a million customers per day! Way to go TECO!
On Monday my SO got very excited when she saw some cherry picker trucks working on the main power line in front of our property. About 3 hours later we had power. The Internet service, that was also knocked out, had already been restored. We were up and running as if nothing had happened. Cherry picker trucks will always bring a smile to our faces! 
All is well in Tampa now, at least for my family and several hundred thousand others! ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Starship Size Comparison[^]
It has Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer 40K, Halo, Mass Effect, Marvel, Aliens, Dr. Who, Starcraft, even Wall-E...
Pretty much every sci-fi up to 2021 is represented 
No doubt A LOT of time and trouble went into making this and it's awesome! 
I've only heard of probably half of this and I've seen maybe only 10%, so there's work to be done.
First on my list: Sex Vixens from Space  (small ship in the bottom right bottom right, left of the big purple-ish space ship from Sins of a Solar Empire)

I have the strangest urge to give you a wedgie and stuff you in a locker after reading that.

Luckily, I've always been cool enough (though probably just barely) to have never received a wedgie or be stuffed in a locker 
You're welcome to try, but I'd just scare you off with the power of curly-braced single-line if-statements

Hey now, I don't necessarily give into every errant urge that comes on. 
True story, my first Halloween at Microsoft I showed up and thought I wound up at a Star Trek convention.
They'd improve developer productivity dramatically if they'd localize Visual Studio to Klingon.

As it says at the top of the page, this is not the forum for technical queries.
Try asking here: C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards[^] or here: Questions and Answers[^]
But when you do, please try to give as much info as you can on the problem and what you are trying to do to fix it, why that doesn't work and so forth: Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - so we only get what you tell us to work on! The better the info you give us, the better the solution we can give you.

Making High Pressure Coffee With 300 Ton Hydraulic Press | Part 2! - YouTube[^]
All you need is time (lots of time), a coffee grinder, a 300 Ton hydraulic press, a concrete bunker, a blowtorch, a kettle, and a good dash of lunacy ...
Result: 14,500 psi
These folks a a bit mad, and crush loads of stuff to see what happens. Gummy bears were interesting!

Wild guess: MOLECULAR? Moles and mountains, tiny particles?
Pretty sure it's way out.

Nope. Might offer a hint in another hour or so (if I can think of one which isn't a dead giveaway.)

Antimuons
The anti-particle of a muon.
This bugs me now because I had been playing around with muon/quark/tau and so on.

Yep! My first idea was "Really big heaps of antimuons" but I went the reverse.

I am thinking of anagrams,it could be either word and I can't make anything out of either
