Thanks very much for that. It's going to be one hell of a learning curve!
I tracked it back to ONS and read a lot of stuff.
I now know 10 times what I used to - 10 x zero = er… zero.

Bluno Beetle[^] is 29x33mm, about the same as a SD card. If you need smaller than that you will probably need to design and build your own board.
HC-05/06 are serial to Bluetooth modules and need a separate microcontroller.

It's my first time with a Borderland game, and I am having a blast! 
I have to stress it out to wash out the bad reviews on the web! ^_^
I was listening to this youtube critic which make a good critic of the good and bad of it! 
Borderlands 3 Has Made A DAMN Point - YouTube
For me, the 2 things that I caught while cooking potatoes:
The shooter - vehicles - parcours - semi open world game play is awesome.
It's not an RPG, no multiple ending depending on player choice. In fact the player feels more like a spectator than the main protagonist in the story. Got front row seat though!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

They are using it at my company! 
On the stock take tables, I can see items arriving at their destination before leaving their previous location!

Our corporate overlords are farming time travel for their own benefit and keeping us from enjoying it!

for mine travel agents are becoming a thing of the past too.
I'll either go direct (nearly always for airlines), or if using "cheapest deal search" websites for accomm prefer those that pass bookings straight through and let you interact directly with the ho/motel for payments / deposits.

What I don't fully understand is how they can go bust before they have paid their bills (and hoteliers get paid 60 ~ 90 days after the guest has left) but they get fully paid by the holiday makers months in advance. So they know their income well in advance, they know their major outgoings well in advance, they have their own air fleet, ...

Perhaps the managers' bonuses were calculated at strategic times in the year (after receiving payment, but before paying their suppliers). This would tend to inflate the bonuses well above their justified level, based on an annualised calculation.

Exactly what was going through my mind. They know the future operating cost of the planes, give or take to allow for fuel price charges. They know what the hotels will cost them when they sign the contract with the provider, they know their staff costs, airport charges etc. etc.

Isn't that just what companies with financial difficult do though... pretend the problem doesn't exist. Carry on as usual and assume it will sort itself out.
Ever heard of a company saying: "Hey, we aren't doing well, we are going to close before we get into debt and can't afford to pay our bills"?

Because they have been paying bills on future incomes.
So whenever those future incomes don't arrive anymore, because people are afraid to travel because, well, let's not go there. This isn't the soapbox.

Do we not usually get a british travel firm collapse every year or every other year? I think it is traditional.
Do other countries travel companies not go bust? Never seem to hear about them if they do.

I don't see the british ones in the news here. We certainly have our fair share. My guess is that your favourite search engine will produce a zillion hits on
travel agency collapse [insert country]
This caught my eye because Thos Cook was the archetype of a travel agent. Hell, I think I even bought some of their travellers cheques half a century ago.
And "Cooks Tour" entered the vernacular a good century ago.

"Cooks Tour" I never though of that, I always assumed it was something to do with Cooks going out to search for ingredients...well dang!
