Flattest or most level? They're different, but related measurements.

A surface can be flat while still increasing or decreasing in relative elevation.

If you haven't already read it Ben Rich's Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed is truly excellent read. Highly recommended.

>there is indeed a huge logical error at the heart of the whole enterprise but it was not discovered until much later by Kurt Gödel.

I'm right there with you bud. I just wish it wasn't such a pain to get my hands on a bottle here in Portland so much of the time. So many cocktail nerds to compete with.

Now I want a Last Word, is quarter after two too early for a cocktail?

>I've got 10Gbps fiber at home (egregious, I know), and the only OpenWRT router I found that can saturate it is the Turris Omnia NG[0]. The price tag is a notch up from others but it's legitimately one of the best pieces of hardware I've ever owned.

Why not use OPNsense on a mini PC?
