Yeah, I’m not a morning person either, so it’s hard for me to be bushy-tailed and bright-eyed early on.

Unfortunately, I’m too dim to get it. I did do a thread search for the word ‘bushy’ to make sure the term had not been used before, so I know there’s not an actual ninja’ing, and I don’t get the joke. “DAES”? Differential Algebraic Equations? Defense Acquisition Executive Summary?

Please, spell it out for this dimwit 🤔

Um, DAES is an unfrozen binomial for ESAD.. in case that helps…

You could probably match and mix the music and it would be just fine.
