If I clip all ten toe nails I would say I’ll be able to find 8-9 max! One or two always take off wherever with no chance to be recovered. So i could relate to the strip immediately.

parn obviously.

PARN (Poly(A)-Specific Ribonuclease) is a really fascinating protein. If I had internet for the first time in my life, I probably also couldn’t stop reading papers on that molecule all night long.

I also don’t get the hype around Paris. It’s not super ugly but also nothing special.

I don’t live too far from it, could easily go there for a week-end or even day trip. Still only been there twice and have no plans to go there again. In many spots it’s very crowded and dirty and the attractions aren’t better than in any other major city.

Depends on what the tariffs are about. If there’s a tariff on a specific category of finished consumer goods, an import of the materials/ parts in combination with a local assembly might indeed reduce or avoid the taxes you have to pay.

Not to forget these crazy machines that’ll give you free money if you smash in one of those weird plastic thingys from your purse. Absolutely bonkers!

Should have made it more challenging

I wanted to use the heart-shaped walnut picture to cheer him up. Share some love when you nut your bros. <3

Ding ding ding - congratulations, you got it. :) You’re officially the winner #7b!

These nuts are indeed not really popular but I found them in a regular supermarket in Germany a couple of years ago. As someone mentioned they’re typically almost impossible to crack, so each nut already had a small canal sawed into the side and the box came with a metal lever that exactly fits into said canal. With that preparation it was quite easy to open them.

You can also buy them online prepared that way. E.g. here: https://mypilinut.com/de/products/noix-de-pili-en-coque-seau-xxl-2900g (I don’t know this shop, it was just the first result on Google, so no clue if it’s a fair price).

There you go - challenge #7b just for you:

Ding ding ding - we’ve got our winner for today. Thank you very much for participation. :)

Know nut November Day #7 - What nut is this?

Voting for a party you dislike or not voting out of spite is not a good form of protest IMO. At the very least vote 3rd party. With the current election system in the US, that’s still a stupid choice from my perspective but at least it makes your disagreement somewhat visible.

In the statistics, not voting at all feeds in the same bucket as lazyness or carelessness.

Why do you think his whole neighborhood is on ketamines?

If you don’t see any insects on the leaves or the soil, I’d just give it some time. Water it every 2-4 weeks. If it’s a large pot of soil do it every 4 weeks with ~0,5 liters, in a smaller pot do it more often with a smaller quantity.

In general, it’s better to water rarely, so the top layer of soil is dry most of the time. That way, you’re making the life harder for small flys to lay eggs and nurish from the roots.

If it keeps losing leaves, don’t panic. Mine had a severe sunburn once and dropped all the leaves. After some weeks it started to recover and grew new leaves.

I would say, the worst thing you can do is overwater. Mine is in a pretty huge pot (80 liters) and I give it (round about) 1,7 liters of water every 6 weeks in summer and 2-3 months in winter. That way the plant has to grow deep roots to the very bottom to reach the bottom and the top layers are rather dry.

Maybe it got cold on the way home or reacts to the change of light / temperature between the store and your place. I would recommend to not water it too much and don’t use too much fertilizer. I have one that already survives for more than 10 years and it’s still pretty healthy despite that I don’t pamper it at all.

Sounds a bit random but overall not too bad. Sign me up for that!

I go for option 1.

In all programming languages that I know, integers have a maximum number. E.g., in C that’d be 2,147,483,647. After that, you would run into an overflow, resulting in either…

• a crash (train stops, no more deaths),
• death count suddenly turns negative (all people previously killed are suddenly alive again and even new people are generated out of nowhere) - until we reach the next overflow when people disappear and start dying again
• or - if it’s an unsigned integer - death count resets everytime we reach the maximum limit

So compared to option 2, we have a chance of stopping the death count. And even if the train keeps running, we have essentially option 2 but the same people only die very rarely. If we assume a cycle of 1 death per second and an integer boundary of 2,147,483,647, that’s just one death every 68 years per person involved. Seems more fair to me compared to 100 people constantly dying over and over again.

Always appreciate any work spent on any FOSS stuff out there but currently I’m a bit afraid that Gecko disappears into unimportance. So I’d prefer more contributions towards that one project rather than opening new ones.

The issue with browser engines is that it always requires work from two directions. The browser engine must be optimized to render websites as good as possible. And websites must be optimized to be rendered by all the different browser engines.

And (almost) no one is willing to do the latter for engines with a <1% market share. Already now, more and more commercial and non-commercial websites are only working properly with Chrome or its derivates.

I don’t get it. It’s just an image that says “right here”. Can someone please explain me the joke? Or did I miss anything important?

If we say that the SSN database internally only stores numbers today, but could also store hexadecimal values without significant redesigns, I would assume that SSNs are stored as text already. So no matter if you put numbers, hex or text, 9 places will always use 9 bytes (assuming it’s ASCII only and doesn’t support UTF-8 etc.).

Furthermore, the post implied that the current technical limit is 999,999,999. That very much sounds like a character data type to me. Otherwise, the limit is usually something like 2^x.

If SSNs are stored as numbers today, then hex and text would lead to quite some change. If you go for a re-design, you can as well just increase the length of the field.
