Sure, and at that point you get into the definition of beverage (is a mouldy bunch of grapes in a forest a beverage, if there's no one to drink it?). I'd suggest that from a purely evolutionary perspective, honey bees predate grap

> Wine is the oldest alcoholic beverage ever produced. Is that true? I thought it was mead, and a brief search suggests mead does still have a greater claim to that title. Some references call mead 'honey wine', but to me that

It does feel like every year or two Ubuntu does something that annoys a large lump of its user base, who proceed to express an interest in moving to something more ethical / predictable, but also seem to be unaware of Debian. It'

As we migrate from Zabbix to OpenTelemetry we've been considering the deeper implications of this same problem. We're running our OpenTel stack on a Hashicorp Nomad cluster, and so far the best solution to this problem that we&#x2

I'm happy to defer to hoseja's assertion they are ecologically significant - I've read varying claims around there, but the precautionary principle is sufficient to warrant maintaining a pristine breeding stock long term, ju

This is relatively straightforward. First, introduced species tend to, by definition, not breed with the 'original habitat' population, simply because they're separated by sufficient distances. Second, these types of gene ter

> Hard alcohol for example is mainly sold in 0.75L This led me down a minor rabbit-hole. In Australia, at least, hard liquor is sold in 700ml or 1 litre bottles. Wines (not what I'd call hard alcohol) are typically sold in 750ml.

Thanks for that. I rarely take much notice of PSU's, other than desktop computer builds, where the received wisdom seems to be aim at using around, or just under, 1/2 of the spec'd capability of the PSU. Seemingly this is o

I picked up a power / energy meter a couple of years ago, when we put on solar panels, and spent a good couple of weeks putting it inline to various appliances to identify peak draw or 24h draw (depending on the type of appliance). The

Out of curiosity, a) what heuristic are you using to determine that power consumption will be 25% of the power supply sizing, and b) (less earnestly) how is 6W 25% of 12W?

I get the point you're making, but you're assuming a great deal. Vinyl records came out in the late 1940's. The first digital mastering was 1979 -- and it was quite a while before that became the default. So there's a

You're absolutely right. For 'old magazines', as per GP, it's probably just fine. I've no idea about how manga would fare. There's some youtube videos that give a hint of colour reproduction - and yes, both t

I've been happily using the Jira Assistant browser extension [0] to try to work around the myriad and manifest shortcomings of Jira. It addresses some of them (such as information density on the screen, much more customisable reports).

Do you mean the goat is eating the tomato fruit, or the tomato leaves? The latter are toxic to (AIUI) all monogastrics, same as potatoes and other Solanum family plants - you may want to reign that behaviour in, assuming the animals are sti

'best' is a tricky adjective to satisfy. I have a Pocketbook HD3 Touch, and really like it. It's a 6" monochrome model, with white-to-red-tint backlight. Previously I owned their 360 model - with a clip-on cover and at

Articles like this tend to be heavily constrained by space, and have a target audience that's probably a bit more lay than what you would prefer. I can recommend the author's book 'The Vital Question', which dives into

What do you mean 'a thing'? They're hugely popular in offices and increasingly in residential environments as people (very) slowly pick up on the offensive economics of feeding a bubblejet. I picked up a Brother (L3510CDW)
