Have you moved since you were a kid? I was surprised to learn not long ago that the type of tree used for Christmas trees is regional.

Near me it’s radiata pine. If I remember correctly, Douglas Fir is the most common in the US but there are many others available. Wikipedia has a long list of common tree types

What on earth is “share.google”?

I had to make that technology decision recently and decided on Zigbee. I don’t see any real advantage to Matter other than future support, and current support is much much lower than Zigbee.

The “seamless internet/cloud connection” is a massive turnoff. Products proudly advertising Matter and then hiding Thread vs WiFi is a pain. And frankly only IKEA really seems to be offering anything Matter with AU plugs and they’re super coy about it so I’m never confident about what I’m getting.

It was a deer

(Because a moose is a deer)

We found “strong evidence” for pain experiences in adults of two orders, Diptera (flies and mosquitoes) and Blattodea (cockroaches and termites). There was also “substantial evidence” in adult Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants, and sawflies), Orthoptera (crickets and grasshoppers), and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) […]

Please don’t learn from this. Jail and prison are synonymous in most of the English speaking world. The article also doesn’t use the word jail and the English wikipedia article on Prison in Ukraine uses “jail” as a synonym for “prison”. As far as I know “jail” as specifically pre-trial remand is a strictly American thing, and this didn’t happen in America.

In my experience a toddler can get the bulbs back into pairing mode reliably, whether you want it or not

If you do end up back on KDE, Khronkite is a great kwin script for dynamic tiling windows. Not quite as good as Hyprland.

I’ve played briefly with river but it’s a lot less dynamic (at least visually). I haven’t found anything that feels as good as Hyprland.

^{Um, actually, that’s a scrub bar not a progress bar}

Specifically note the updates

(Added 2015) Some of the documents that we previously received through FOIA suggested that all major manufacturers of color laser printers entered a secret agreement with governments to ensure that the output of those printers is forensically traceable. Although we still don’t know if this is correct, or how subsequent generations of forensic tracking technologies might work, it is probably safest to assume that all modern color laser printers do include some form of tracking information that associates documents with the printer’s serial number. (If any manufacturer wishes to go on record with a statement to the contrary, we’ll be happy to publish that here.)

(Added 2017) REMINDER: IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ALL RECENT COMMERCIAL COLOR LASER PRINTERS PRINT SOME KIND OF FORENSIC TRACKING CODES, NOT NECESSARILY USING YELLOW DOTS. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CODES ARE VISIBLE TO THE EYE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PRINTER MODELS ARE LISTED HERE. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE PRINTERS THAT ARE LISTED HERE AS NOT PRODUCING YELLOW DOTS.

I don’t see any translations that use anything other than camel.

+9 appears to be currently shivving +10, so my money is with them

I may have misunderstood the assignment

You should be able to make continuous fibre-reinforced hot extruder filament, but you would either need to print very specific models or have a cutoff mechanism if you don’t want the mother-of-all-stringing

You’re confusing incitement and provocation.

Incitement involves actively encouraging action.

“you’re bad at hockey and your mother is large” might be provocation

“It is time for us to take up arms against the enemy” is incitement
