It’s a misleading legend, but the note at the bottom tries to clear it up a bit. This map seems to more be like “We took the range maps of 238 species of fish and overlaid them. The red area is where practically all of those range maps of each 238 species of fish overlapped.” Of course there are other fish, but they were not included here because the map maker didn’t have the right kind of dataset for them. To me that seems to indicate that this map isn’t so much a map of actual biodiversity measured, but the potential for biodiversity of the region. Given that it’s fish, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that this area is somewhere between/near the northern continent’s biggest river, a large gulf, and ancient mountain range, and a coast with a strong warm current (for now…).

normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Maybe your technique isn’t sufficient and the posted method isn’t as “over the top” as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

Drugs alter your perception, not awareness. Mediation and a philosophy class you didn’t take on YouTube will cure you of that confusion.

Key lime juice also makes for a very interesting margarita.

I had a similar network appliance “nest”. I got a rolling kitchen island from IKEA because it has shelves that encourage ventilation and it also fit my printer, UPC, and HTPC/server. Now I have one network appliance cart. Everything is always a few inches off of the floor. All the cords are contained and tied off where necessary to keep the cart’s contents from spilling out in the way. When it’s time to clean around it, it can be wheeled away from the wall or corner. The only cords still connected to the wall are one for power and one for Internet. I can even disconnect it entirely from the wall briefly without too much fuss, just a short time without internet but with the wifi intact.

The cart would be overkill in your case, but the idea of it would still have value. You could probably fit everything you’ve got into an empty milk crate. That crate could be on wheels and most crates are pretty well ventilated.

Was that supposed to be coherent or relevant? Are you lost?

If you’re going to be snarky about units, at least get the significant digits correct. The infographic gives 100°F as the temperature. If I had to guess I’d say that wherever that number came from, it’s precision is much less than a whole °F, but for simplicity let’s just say that the precision is a whole number, no decimal places in the precision. At that precision 37.5°C and 38°C are both also 100°F. There are 9/5 °F for every °C after all. If you’d said 37.7°C I wouldn’t have even commented. But that was one decimal place too far (and being too lazy to find the ° symbol or type out degrees).

You’re all probably saying, “Who cares? Why do you care? Aren’t you just being any even more annoying pedant?”

I do. I don’t know. Probably.

But, if you’re going to be a smartass, you better at least try to be smart about it.

Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.

Because vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.

Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

The crouching guidelines were never about avoiding being stuck, rather about reducing harm if you are incapable of reaching a safer location.

So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

Thanks for further proving my point.

Ditto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.

You just repeated your claims without explaining them or backing them up with any details. You sound like someone selling essential oils and crystals as medicine. Try again?

Hardlinking files to their new destination and your normalized naming schema. Using symlinks would be madness.

In certain contexts the opinions of some federal officials is quite a bit more than “simply giving an opinion”. The most obvious examples being the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Commerce Secretary.
