IMO we should have left emojis out of everything that is rendered by convention with monospaced fonts. But of course I respect the desire for displaying rainbow farting unicorns even in consoles, so let's find a solution for this.

My dentist claimed that humans have the most bacteria in their mouth than any domestic animals and he would rather be bitten by a dog than by a human. Can anyone with some insight say if there is any truth to his claim?

I remember that when I was in school good parts of the Harz mountains were destroyed by the Bark Beetle, but at that time it was acid rain that made matters worse. It was a poster example of the Waldsterben (dying of forests) at that time.

When I was into card magic a few years ago this move by Lennard Green was the one that impressed me most: https://youtu.be/KnSGHHeFxa0?t=33 Also, at the end of the video his laser routine is really nice.

Please forgive me for digging this up every other year, but I think this is such a wonderful tongue in cheek resource for a wonderfully weird topic. Also, be warned that book pages 33 and 34 may be NSFW in some regions on this planet ;)

It is not a question about the app being cloud based or local, it's more a question about the openness of the file format. With a standardized file format you can always change to another software.
