Thanks, I was using thermonuclear wrong.

Japan got struck twice with thermonuclear bombs in world war 2, in 2 cities named Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Look it up. They are very much against nuclear arms in general since then.

There are many factors at play.

Survivability is much higher. A lot of the deaths are attributable to secondary opportunistic infections that are now treatable with antibiotics, which did not exist at the time. We now have a plethora of treatments that did not exist at the time, for example many people were saved from death by covid by giving extra oxygen for just a few days. That would have helped h1n1 victims too.

Not 100% sure if you've understood, they should indeed do that, and it's part of the "system" here. They should however also do that in solidarity with their less-exposed, more vulnerable coworkers, and not have a multitude of unions.

You two are argueing the semantics of 'well-educated', the one version meaning to have any higher education, the other to also have a well rounded, universal education. Both are valid definitions.

I downloaded slackware and copied it onto 30 diskettes to install Linux on my home PC. The 27th disk was faulty, so I returned at 10 in the night to copy it again, because uni would delete the home directories over night.

Tab expansion already worked back then, so I typed tab twice to get all possible commands and read the manpages for all of them.

I share the same sentiment. Grabbed a laptop last week to be able to wfh somewhere else and entertain myself too, and to try if I couldn't get gaming to work on Linux, and had that feeling of curiosity back about what is new and how everything works. The feeling was lost sometime after Windows 7, and replaced with a slight feeling of dread about where everything got misplaced in this newest shiniest iteration of Windows.

Couldn't be happier with fiddling with distros!

Hinzuzufügen zum verlinkten Artikel: Ein paar Blätter dürfen auf dem Rasen bleiben, es freuen sich die Würmer, die zum Dank ganz umsonst den Rasen belüften.

Auf die Rabatten gefegtes Laub wird sich ganz von selbst bis etwa April vollständig zersetzen, außer natürlich Eichenlaub. Zwiebelblumen und Stauden haben kein Problem, eine lockere, nicht verklebte Laubschicht zu durchstoßen.

Ob man die Gemüsebeete den Winter über offen oder abgedeckt haben möchte, ist eine Frage der Bearbeitungsweise. Wer im Herbst umgräbt, wird den Boden lieber offen haben. Wer gar nicht umgräbt, eher gemulcht.

Die Mulchschicht wärmt, wo das unangebracht ist, weil es zum Beispiel Obstbäume zu früherer Blüte anregt, muss man die Schicht zum Ende des Winters entfernen, in meiner Gegend Anfang März.

I think your third point is key, one thing Microsoft does very well is backwards compatibility. We run programs from the 90s in production. It is a nightmare of APIs layered upon APIs, but the programs will run.

It most certainly changes dishes, it has a fresh, green, crunchy quality to it that adds texture to dishes that don't have these qualities, especially dishes that are cooked for a long time. We should all pay more attention to texture.

Parsley is an ingredient, not a spice, and used as such it has a fairly strong taste of leaf and it is slightly astringent. Middle Eastern folks use parsley by the handful, not teaspoons. It needs to be finely minced because it is so tough to chew.

Also dried parsley is completely useless. If you want it stored, frozen is the way to go.

Also have the soapy gene 😒

I see your WSAD keys, how is the keyboard for gaming? Would you use just the left side along with a mouse?
