The history of the smallpox vaccine is fascinating iirc
milk maids, orphans-as-storage+transportation, really crazy stuff.
And after reading about it, one thing that's neat is that it makes sense. You don't need to talk about homeopathic "water memory" or whatever, and you don't even need a solid understanding of biology
the whole thing just kinda...makes sense.
And yet, here we are...
OP needs to stop Chase-ing up votes.
They say "everything's bigger in Texas," but maybe that's just because California hasn't whipped it out until now...
Gosh I wonder why they're against mail-in ballots.
Any voter in CA is eligible, and honestly, with the number of propositions and local stuff on the ballot it's essential to do research ahead of time regardless of your political preferences. So much easier to fill it out over a few weeks IMHO.
Beware though, there may be new rules about needing it received rather than postmarked by the election date (which is obviously bullshit).
I had an...interesting...take home exam in college. The max score was 100, but the test had 200 points. So, if confident, you could answer half the exam and still get the highest score; if not confident in answers, you could answer more questions and rely on partial credit
It was a week long take home, "open everything" (book/Internet, but no discussions online or IRL). In some ways the hardest exam I ever took, but I learned a lot, and some of the questions were specifically meant to introduce new subjects.
I would probably add "transmit power" in there somewhere, but I guess if you're assuming regulatory limits then it's not a big variable.
If you really want to try some, you could use d-limonene. It's just orange oil (like you get when you squeeze an orange peel), is edible, and is basically a kerosene-like hydrocarbon. It's used in hand soap and works for stripping paint, and you can run multi-fuel camp stoves off of it, too!
Careful ingesting it though, as it isn't always food grade due to extraction methods/additives. It causes kidney tumors in rats, but the mechanism is known and is not relevant to humans.
Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don't know the age of the oldest human.
Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that's not the case!
For old stuff though...yeah, I'd hope it's not moving backwards :)
my pro tip.
I see what you did there.
Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you're in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).
I mean, it's Torvalds' distro of choice iirc, which should count for something.
