Also, according to the Wiki article that cainxinth mentioned, more aerodynamic vehicles are apparently worse for flying insects. It seems somewhat counter-intuitive, but perhaps the more boxy vehicles push the insects away before they can

I do not doubt this at all, but I also have to imagine that vehicles are more aerodynamic than they were a decade ago. I also remember keeping a squeegee in the car to remove "bug paste" from the windshield after the wipers couldn

I live near Muhlenberg, oddly enough, and I have a lot of fireflies in my yard. edit: Here's some that my daughter captured. Don't worry, we released them! https://i.imgur.com/1ol4d6C.mp4

If your mortgage is paid off it's definitely possible. I wouldn't waste that kind of money on a car, but a lot of things change when your housing costs drop drastically.

Absolutely. On some boards where ethernet is not an option you can still run a serial getty and transfer files to / from the device.

There are servers which have implemented this. It's kind of seamless to the user, but you're actually connecting to other servers as you play. Mineplex does it.

A lot of Linux-based DSP solutions do this. You either purposely tell the kernel that you have less memory than you do at startup, reserving the rest for the DSP, or you load a kernel driver which can allocate contiguous memory. This driv

Tux Paint is available for iOS. There's another one that my kids loved, which was a puppet show theater app, which easily let you animate characters and add voices. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of it.

Netflix has dropped 45% over the last month, Amazon 27%, TSLA 27%, Disney 17%, BTCUSD 26%. I'm definitely not sold on Bitcoin, but it tracks along with tech stocks for some reason.
