If you have .Net programs you likely have .Net developers and so the learning curve for them to get into the cloud will be easier to stay with Microsoft, hence Azure.

Thanks. We are indeed using .NET so I agree that Azure is going to be the obvious choice. We currently are wanting to move toward a browser based interface to help support the cloud efforts.
We currently have plans in place to move to .NET5 later this year, so we'll focus our efforts on getting familiar with Azure as our cloud platform.
Thanks for the helpful feedback!

and yet they are insisting on you moving everything into 'the cloud' which basically means your software and data sitting on someone else's machines.
That makes little sense to me.

Believe me when I say that I've had this exact argument with them for 3 years. Also been arguing that .NET is not disappearing in the next year or two!

Of course you could just get an Azure VM Server. If you will have multiple sql databases, this would be the cheaper route. Technically, it is still 'in the cloud'.
I have over 5 years experience with Azure WebApps using Azure SQL Server. It was very easy to setup and get going. We are in the process of moving the web apps and one remaining database to an Azure VM for multiple reasons:
0: Much cheaper
1: Better user experience since apps and databases are on the same box
2: Control over the environment
Just my 2 cents.

In all the similar threads about cloud that I have seen, this is the best "graphical" example I can relate to.

Finntroll - Forsen[^]
The Finish troll metalheads are back!
Their last album was released in 2013 and their newest album was released today.
Personally, I stopped following them after Ur Jordens Djup from 2007 though, so I didn't know that until I read an interview about their new album 
I'm glad to hear not much has changed.
The new album sounds like Finntroll should sound, blackened folk metal.
This song was their second single for the new album and I've been listening to it for a few weeks already.
Listening to the album now and I can say this one is going to blast through my speakers more often

I can't seem to get into the vocals. Even on the other tracks I explored, the music is great, but the vocals sometimes feel out of place. Maybe it's supposed to be that way?
Ormfolk stood out, but an instrumental version would be more suitable for my taste.
Still, thanks for sharing. Exploring new genres of music is enjoyable.

I hear that for more metal.
Me and a friend's girlfriend listen to a black metal band whose vocalist sounds like he swallowed a frog.
My friend really wants to get into the band because his girlfriend and I are listening to it and going to a concert together, and he really likes the music, but he just can't get over the frog vocals
My parents used to listen to the intro of a metal song, but either reset or skip as soon as the vocals started.
It's a shame that most people don't listen beyond the vocals because the music is often really good, technical and/or challenging.
Not that most people would care
If you like the music of Finntroll, but not the vocals, you may be interested in something like TÝR - Hold The Heathen Hammer High (Official) - YouTube[^], who have a more clean style of singing.

Oh yeah, I prefer the cleaner vocals.
Started the song with coffee; ended with mead.

Has anyone let the household toilet roll supply get down to the last roll since March?

I hope not, because SWMBO acquired something close to a lifetime supply.

Never do anyway.

I keep two spare rolls in the bathroom*, and when I (or more rarely Herself) replace the "active" roll, I get one from the cupboard under the stairs and replace it. When I remove the last roll from there, I put new rolls on the shopping list.
When I next go to the supermarket, I buy a pack of 9, 12, or 16 rolls (depending on unit pricing) and replace the supply under the stairs.
* Because Herself dropped the spare down the loo by accident once...

I haven't had any problem buying rolls of TP even at the height of the panic buying ...

I did, but bought another 32 roll pack that'll last me another year or two 
I always buy the biggest pack I can find since TP doesn't go over date and I know I'll use it all.
My timing was quite bad as I needed TP somewhere in April, first time this year I bought a pack.

Me, yes. AFAIK, most people in East Asian countries use water and not paper so yes there would be many.
