Here's a cool infographic showing all the animals, and comparing that to all the other forms of life. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/all-the-biomass-of-earth-in...

The Calendar sync via the gdata-provider plugin is currently broken.

Yes, the later editions have a foreword which explains what the book is about: Hofstader's theory that consciousness arises from self reference.

A lot of them were just early.

kozmo => DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.

Had to be after 1931, when the Crosby song (the title of which he gets wrong) was recorded.

I've always missed having an equipment list in recipes in addition to ingredients.

I think the tree idea is good, as it shows what steps can be done in parallel. It would also be helpful to show how long each subtree is expected to take with working time and waiting time.

If it's not organized, it's not a collection, just a pile.

I collected classic video games for a while. After a while, I realized I'd be happier if I focused on one area (Atari). Eventually, I wasn't playing or displaying the consoles or games, so I got rid of all of it except for one nice 2800 console and a couple of the funnest games which I wanted to show my kids.

Somebody else got to enjoy the stuff that was just sitting in my boxes. No regrets.

I've done this technique: https://namyco.org/docs/grow_oyster_mushrooms_on_kitty_litte...

It's pretty easy. I learned it at a workshop for local mushroom hunting group.

Google gives a reasonable answer to that question.

I think signature lines on the posts helped with that.

There's different versions of that meme, so please make sure you know which one you're arguing about.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy suggests something like B.

Linode was founded in 2003.

Depends. If your employer doesn't offer health insurance, you can shop for plans on the government health insurance marketplace. These plans can have substantial subsidies.

Yes, it does run well on Wine.

I think for most people it's the introduction of the module system. If it causes code to break in libraries you're using and there's no direct replacement for those libraries, it's a big hill to get over.

Possible, but expensive.

Congratulations to our neighbor!

It doesn't recognize SOARE or UNLIT, 2 of my favorite Wordle guesses.

I believe they had install crews to go around and set up their bikes in people's homes. This had to be a lot of employees right there.

Zoomed out, it all looks grey, but zoomed in, you can kind of read it.

If you do ITAR work, there are also federal-level reporting regulations regarding boycotting Israel.

A big complaint for the first dish was that the cable was hardwired in, which made snaking it through walls, etc. hard to do. I wonder if this updates that.

A very different situation in degree. The nobility in Hungary considered the peasants to be sub-human. This was partly because they were physically distinct from the upper classes. This, in turn, was because they didn't have enough to eat, though the nobles didn't recognize that.

Also, the high-born were free to rape and kill peasants with no repercussions.

Like I say, read the book.

Read The Undefeated by George Paloczi-Horvath. He's a 20th century writer who lived through the tail end of the feudal system in Hungary. The lives of the peasants were not great. They were mal-nourished and lived at the whims of their lords.
