@markstory Congratulations :)
@donni I can't cope when the store I go to doesn't have the right flavor of my favourite candy bar.

In the event of nuclear war, here’s my plan: Get vaporized immediately
ADHD means being born with a LIFO stack brain instead of a FIFO stack brain.
@isisamrita I don't get it. Base 4 means 4 different digits. The alien is apparently using base 4.

In 1995, 14 wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park.
No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring.
It started with the wolves hunting the deer, this led to a rapid decrease in the deer population. The wolves' presence also made the deer avoid parts in the park where they were and easy prey.
Thanks to the deer's absence, those parts started to regenerate. Forests of aspen and willow trees started to flourish.
That's when things really started to happen. With trees and bushes came more berries and bugs. As soon as that happened, various bird species started moving in.
With the increasing tree population, also another species was attracted. The beaver, previously extinct in the region, moved back. And the dams they built provided habitats for otters, muskrats and reptiles.
The wolves also killed coyotes, which meant more hawks, red foxes, badgers and weasels in the park. Even the population of bald eagles and ravens rose.
But here's where it gets really interesting. The wolves changed the behavior of the rivers. With more balance between predator and prey came the possibility for other species to thrive. There was less erosion because of increased vegetation. And the river banks were stabilized, the channels narrowed, more pools formed, and the rivers stayed more fixed in their courses.
So the wolves did not only transform the great ecosystem of Yellowstone, they also changed the park's physical geography.
Politician, one thing your rich donors don't have that we do is guillotines.

@danct12 @gabrielesvelto I was thinking that maybe it's something Poland-only, but no, here's an Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT54GL-Wireless-G-Broadband-Router/dp/B000BTL0OA
@danct12 @gabrielesvelto Looks like an updated version, but same model and similar look: https://www.komputronik.pl/product/146655/linksys-wrt54gl.html
@danct12 @gabrielesvelto Is this irony? You can buy this new.

Even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as during the pandemic lockdown, we wouldn't achieve our climate targets.
While individuals made huge sacrifices, the system remained. This shows that individual action will not solve climate change. We need the system to change.

The first wedding anniversary is the "paper" anniversary and traditionally you should give your spouse a book. Tradition doesn't say what kind of book, but from experience I can tell you it's not Spider-Man erotica
@pivotal Although it would likely be cheaper to search for "electric pin vise" on AliExpress.

@awoodsnet @sarah If you have any experience with Docker it probably makes sense to start with ECS. And in my work we use SNS/SQS more, so I'd probably do that too, although S3 is simpler and Flysystem is a pretty mature library for it.

@greegreehoist That just means double dessert if I have any say about it.
