No, the trial was only conducted for three years, presumably because that's how long they budgeted. I don't think they actually stopped producing blue flowers at that point.

Some US states do!

The reason I say it's not useful (as opposed to merely interesting) to a learner is that I think if you're ever explicitly forming a structure like "mat-" in your head while thinking about how to say something or how to interpret something in Japanese, you are doing something quite unnatural, since that form cannot actually be expressed in the language. A fluent or native speaker knows that, eg. to make "matsu" a polite order, the tsu (tu) becomes chi (ti) and then you add nasai; they are not thinking about the isolated 't' consonant (which in this example is not actually even the same consonant - and native speakers know that, considering they distinguish ティ in loanwords!).

As for why it's interesting and useful theoretically - well, Japanese is of course older than the kana chart, and if you're doing diachronic linguistics I think taking mat- to be the stem is probably a useful frame to think about the origins of the modern conjugation paradigm.

The traditional way to develop a similar intuition with a kana-only approach is to think of it as "moving across the row" in the kana table, which works fine. I think the fact that with romaji we can represent the stem as mat- is interesting and valuable in a theoretical sense but not all that useful to a learner.

Considering they explicitly said they had some photos of yours ("You shared them. We protected them."), this seems like chargeback territory.

This is awesome.

Indeed, people talk about technical solutions to social problems but there is also such a thing as trying a legal solution for a technical problem.

Weirdly lending credence to Adams' idea that the phrase is somehow special.

I think it's saying there's more microplastics in unhealthy than healthy tissue is all, your interpretation is technically possible but phrasing it that way would be so misleading as to basically be lying.

The reason more microplastics in unhealthy tissue doesn't necessarily mean microplastics cause unhealthy tissue is that unhealthy tissue would be worse at removing substances irrespective of whether the substances cause the harm.

Context on "THE ONE", a phrase used in this post, because it wasn't obvious to me initially.

I could imagine a judge holding a contract to resign from office void as contrary to public policy (on the basis of the intuition that elected representatives shouldn't have their continuance in office subject to random contracts with third parties lest this interfere with their service to the public.)

There is obviously a line between what is and is not a permissible search somewhere and it's virtually inevitable that judicial rulings will from time to time err on both sides of that line (and they do). Punishing judges for ruling in ways which are later overturned would destroy rule of law at a fundamental level.

Not allowed for gTLDs. Some ccTLDs do it, http://ai/ resolved as recently as a year ago though I can't get it to right now.

Apparently if you have a 11th gen or older Kindle device, the KFX Input plugin and the latest DeDRM will allow you to pull books off it and crack the DRM. This worked for me with my 10th gen Kindle, after the removal of the web download feature.

I'm curious about the origin of the name. Kaguya-hime no monogatari? Kaguya-sama?

Yes.

This was an experiment to start learning Svelte[1]. So the information shown, such as whether the year is in fact a perfect square, should update dynamically as you cross into 2025.

This is not true in my experience; you can make a wide range of possible edits without being reverted. Knowing which ones those are requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, not its politics. (There is politics, but it's not like every edit is a battle of minds.)

You'd need to read up on the notability guidelines and find a secondary source to figure whether you can make this edit stick. Though then again, there's often no "power user squatting the page" of any kind, so it might not be reverted even if you fail to adhere to this.

Some CAs do it, for free even. ZeroSSL does iirc.

Put it in your password manager! In the additional fields/notes section.

People are weirdly fatalistic about Disney managing to extend copyright again. I have no idea why. It's not happening, not this time anyway.

It's a good idea to limit it somewhere so you don't end up sending 10 MB every time it's fetched. The feed will be re-fetched to check for updates so the cost isn't paid just once.

I care about the people in Nepal who don't want their government to restrict their access to the web. The people who want to be restricted in that way can exercise self-control.

WMF has had nothing to do with Wikia/Fandom for years (apparently they shared some hosting costs back in 2009). Jimmy Wales also hasn't exerted control over Wikipedia policy in a long time, and as of this year no longer even nominally has the right to overrule ArbCom.

So at the very least that's not actively motivating the continued state of the notability guidelines, though I don't know if it's possible the original motivation was as you suggest.
