We had a big pow-wow today.
We used Skype.
Four humans; widely dispersed locations.
Three of us were crystal clear, but the one guy who was connecting across 3G was the victim of his circumstances, big time.
Major case of dropped calls, and even worse time lags; I'm guessing 5, 10, or 15 seconds.
Was 3G the cause of this ? Or should we look for a more culpable villain ?

Yes, it can... and it Works perfectly well.
I've been doing videoconferences using Skype on 3G and it worked...

Hi, A logical thing to do would be to ask the person having the problem with Skype to run one of those internet speed tests, or some other network/web diagnostic ?

Hint: don't go there in August. For any reason. Great place, clean, modern, good roads and infrastructure. It was just elephanting hot, too hot to be outside so you just move from one air-conditioned building to another. Felt like the air was on fire. 
Also, TSA were not only pleasant and polite, both airports, but the one in Phoenix was making up poetry, cracking jokes and talking about astronomy and physics to anyone that would listen. Hilarious.

I remember Lake Havasu at 120F, in late August. Ugh. 90F at night.

I grew up in Phoenix and remember the heat, brutal!

How on earth did you deal with it? I mean, it gets hot where I live but not like that; it was oppressive. It was a relief to get off the plane and be able to breathe!

I lived there from 1959 to 1966, I was young so I could handle it better, but for the first few years this[^] was all we had to cool the house.
I can remember a week of 120F+!

Bah, try 100° weather in high humidity. Then we'll talk about hot.

Houston!
At 7 pm, my one visit to the city, it was 97 degrees Fahrenheit with 97% humidity!

That's what I'm talking about.

Huh? We're having a cool spell just now. It'll get hot in a few weeks.

We go to Phoenix to cool off some. Phoenix is a great place, if you want Los Angeles without any cultural offerings. Traffic, crime, decaying infrastructure, never ending road repairs... even smog!

And we have newer casinos than Laughlin.

With low humidity though its not too bad. It was 38C when I left home in France, but with a light wind its not too bad.
We have had 44C though, back in 2002, before GW stopped. 
The main thing is don't get used to air con. Wear very light cotton shorts and shirt, ,undone, a straw hat and drink a lot of water. Once you get to depend on air con, as you are finding, it is impossible to go outside.

Unfortunately, it was quite humid and oppressive with no breeze of any kind. There was a rain storm one afternoon which did clear the air for a while, but back to normal the next morning. i am used to heat in the 80/90s with the odd foray over 100 (it gets very hot where I live but rarely humid and cools down at night, usually) but not like that.
Tip: never go to Phoenix at the height of the summer!

If its humid too, that's a different matter, you cant keep cool at all. Provence can get very hot, but its very dry with it.

So the project stub actually compiles.
Unfortunately it took so long to get to this state that I have forgotten what exactly I wanted all these packages for... 
|
|
|
|

Reminds me of how I have been working on some OAuth connection software together with all the dependencies and the fixes I had to make to the dependencies to get the project to work - it filled me with a certain horror that there is all this seemingly bloated code that may break at any point.

NuGet is an utter piece of sh*t. I refuse to use it, instead, I track down the actual source.
