pet rocks beat them all. low maintenance, can live on their own. Great for telling the weather. If its wet, its raining, if its dry, its not. Never whine or piddle in the house. And they're great for delivering messages to your neighbors through the window...

Aren't they somewhat unruly when they get stoned? And aren't they stoned most of the time?

Hmmm, for a very long time the children well outnumbered the pets. At the moment, there is one dog, two cats, and a bird in the house. None of the pets are mine, but one cat is thinking about adopting me. Over the years (I have to think hard now), there have been 7 other cats - all deceased, 8 other dogs - mostly deceased, two left when a daughter moved out. Two of the gone-dogs were Siberian Huskies - never again.
All in all, I think I lean toward cats, but apparently we're no longer allowed to let them outside due to societal pressure (means litter box work).
Don't ever call a cat or a dog a fur-baby in my presence. I will give you a disgusted look and snort in your general direction.

Hell gods exepedition[^] - most likely Norway's most photographed sign.
Hell is a small village i Mid Norway (location of the airport for Trondheim). "Hell" is derived from "helle", which is a flat, disk like stone.
Gods is goods, cargo. Expedition like in English - receiving and collection point. The spelling is ancient, modern spelling is "ekspedisjon", but they have kept the old sign for the amusement of turists.
There is also a small village near Bergen named Paradis. The train no longer stops in Paradis, but when it did, you could buy tickets from Hell to Paradis, or from Paradis to Hell. I suspect some people just bought the ticket and had it framed to put on the wall - there is not much to do in either place, so very few people had a need to travel that distance by train. (And it would probably take you a full day!)

Is anyone here using Asp.Net Core Razor Pages in production code yet?
If so, do you have any tales of woe or wild advocacy?

I am using Razor in a current project. It's a bit weird at first but, once you get used to it, it's not bad. We are using it with MVC of course for which I can say the same, "it's a bit weird at first...".
Once you get going it can save a lot of time and effort - you need to avoid the temptation to "work around it". There is usually a way to do what you need to without bypassing it. I had to fight my impulses to do that at first.

There's talk about bringing our app out of the asp.net/javascript dark ages to a newer technology. We won't be using Entity Framework (if my vote counts for something).
I've done MVC, and as a site grows, scrolling in the Solution Explorer pane becomes a royal PITA. It appears as if Razor Pages mitigates that issue to a large degree.

Yeah, with the MVC thing we keep breaking things down into smaller and smaller sections to keep it under control. However, with that, the Razor makes things fairly easy.

Your vote counts!!
We do not use EF either. It might be nice for prototypes, but otherwise you can easily code yourself into a corner with its magic. I'm sure there are people using it effectively, but it seems like a dream that may turn into a nightmare.

I've got an app with a user fornt end in Angular and an admin front end in Razor, and I much prefer the Angular front end, it feels slicker and more maintanable.
Also, we're using EF Core in production now and it's really working well, yes it's a bit of a PITA because you can lost relationships if your not careful but once you've worked out its nuances it's a great tool.

A few things I noticed at some point, but because I don't use Razor, take this with a grain of salt:
1. Razor compiles the HTML in C# that is the run to generate the actual string that gets sent to the client. At one point, I had hundreds of temp DLL's lying around, probably because Razor wasn't compiling in-memory.
2. Because Razor does this compile thing, first time page loading is slow.
3. Because Razor does this compile thing and subsequent page loads are fast because it "knows" nothing has changed (caching the HTML, I guess) I noticed that sometimes changes to the page HTML/JS (or maybe even the backend) weren't reflected until I forced IIS to restart so it reloaded / recompiled the pages. Something like that.
While it's convenient, I loathe, and I mean really loathe, mixing back-end code with front-end layout in one file. Like I said, convenient but I really disliked it.

But from what I've read, it's not one file - the html is still separate from "code-behind". The only thing they appear to have done (with regards to old MVC file structure) is removed the need for controllers because each page "handles" events.

Currently sipping a cup of Taylors Of Harrogate "Cacao Superior" coffee: Dark, velvety, hints of chocolate and blackberry. Black, naturally, with one sugar to "lift" the bitterness.
And the only biscuits in the house are for cheese ... 
This is while on hold to my energy supplier - who wants to raise my monthly direct debit by 40% - to tell them "put it back or I go elsewhere" given they owe me money, not the other way around...
