One of those vegetable slicers, spelled mandoline. Image search for “mandoline cutter” but without the safety gloves or plastic thing, back of my finger went just a little too low and caught the blade right on the fingernail and it went through it like nothing.

Native plants are of course going to win out, they’re evolved for that location’s climate.
If that was the case, no one would care about invasive species because the natives would outcompete with them when humans stopped intervening. It all depends on the specific plants and environment.
Well that got a shudder out of me. Hope it isn’t as unpleasant as it sounds for you these days.
Though, if you prefer, you can also move your hand to the mouse. With the scroll wheel and good hand-eye coordination, you can get pretty close to the speed of a true vim exper–haha jk, they finished converting the entire source file from python to rust using a specially crafted regex by the time your hand reached the mouse and implemented a matrix view by the time you scrolled to the line you wanted.
And when you say that falling green symbols aren’t that impressive, they look at you in confusion for a moment before realizing what you meant and handing you a VR plug to show you what “matrix view” really means.
Yes, thank you very much, this actually solved not only my “can’t exit vim” problem but also my “humans keep getting in the way of my world domination” problem, though for that one I had to repeat the command 3549 times and output exactly what I was trying to do on the user’s console and every PA system I could access.
Also it would be cool to have a misaligned fingerprint. If you do crime, they might end up spending extra time figuring out if someone is trying to leave fake prints behind but isn’t good at it.
One part I’m still not very clear on is if the nail bed refers to the entire area under the nails or just the part at the base of the nail, where it grows from.
My incident didn’t touch that base but absolutely exposed some of that skin underneath. The regrown nail seems to be adhering well to that skin, too (that was my biggest worry, that I’d be left with a “bubble” of nail seperate from the skin underneath).
Lol I bought a bunch of fingertip ones expecting to need to wear them for like two months while my fingernail grew back. Instead the skin under it healed to the point where running water on it felt normal instead of like someone stuck a blowtorch on it and I’ve only got a slight indent left after only 3 weeks.
So I’m well stocked on finger bandaids for the next blood sacrifice (which of course I could only find in packages that had the knuckle type as well, so I have even more of those lol).
Lol yeah, fingers can be dramatic. I cut off a part of my fingernail as a blood sacrifice for using a mandolin instead of chopping my celery normally (worth it, mandolin is so much faster) and there was so much blood from that tiny little wound. Had no idea if I should wrap it up and just get back to making lasagna or go to the ER because it just kept bleeding, preventing me from putting ointment on it. I eventually made a zip tie touniquette and it slowed down enough to slap some ointment and bandaids on it.
The lasagna turned out really well, though finished a bit later than intended.
I’d argue that neither one stems from the other but that they are both manifestations of the same thing: our desire to dominate our environment to make our own lives (or the lives of those important to us) easier and/or safer.

Or for a less cheeky answer, I believe the method they used at a high level was pointing a camera at a few guide stars, so the 30 lines of assembly might have been a loop that checked those cameras for any drift of those stars and did a correction pulse of the rotation boosters to keep them centered. Oh, one of the references might have been the signal strength from home, too (signal gets weaker if the antenna isn’t aligned).
Unless it was an emergency, it might only need to look at 5 pixels to determine alignment and correction.
Also, just because it’s assembly doesn’t mean it can’t call subroutines and functions, so that 30 lines might be misleading in the way those several lines in the other reply have way more going on. That said, if it’s just doing a pixel brightness comparison, that’s one line to read the central pixel, then for each direction one line to read that pixel, one more to compare, one line to jump to next comparison if center is brighter, one instruction to initiate correction burn, one instruction to stop it immediately after, then one instruction to return to the start of the loop… Which comes to 22 lines total, leaving 8 for logging or maybe timing the burn. And that’s assuming their instruction set didn’t have anything fancy like read and compare, compare and jump, or a single instruction burn pulse.
Not a bus driver but I’ve seen enough of them to answer this question.
When they aren’t driving the bus, they are either waiting for kids to get on or off the bus or they are briefly investigating who threw the stray projectile that hit them before they pulled over but usually settle for the complete silence as each kid pretends to not remember what throwing even is, let alone admit who threw anything. That silence never lasts more than a minute after they start driving again, though sometimes it will only be whispers for a while if the bus driver screamed in rage or broke down in tears.
Normal people keep their poop knife in the laundry room, bro.

But… how is password? Secure enough?
Which means there’s a decent chance that someone ate glue before anyone used it to stick things together.
Maybe multiple people if it went like this:
A: I’m going to try this eats spoonfull
B: How is it?
A: Mmmm…!?
B: Oh he likes it, I’ll try some, too!
C: Do you agree with A?
B: Mmmm…!?
A: Mmmm! Mmmmm!

Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Annon is confronted with the pasing of time and the inevitablity of his incoming death
1·11 days agoWith how many people there are out there, even something that happens to 0.1% of people over their lifetime will happen to 200k people living in the US right now (assuming 200m pop, which I think is low now). Assuming an average life expectancy of 75, that averages 2666.6 per year, or 7.28 per day (assuming every year is a leap year).
I don’t know what the odds are of having kids at 20, but I’d guess the conditional probability of two successive generations both having kids at 20 is way higher than 0.1%, which means there’s more than 7 new ones each day. And any of them might post this kind of thing where they talk about something their grandparent bought new.

Though it can be used during the initial parts of a relationship to make it progress at a very fast rate. Imo it’s best to hit the brakes even if the other person isn’t abusive. And hit the brakes as in don’t rush to move in with them, get married, or have a kid, as I think ending a relationship because it’s moving too fast is just as likely to end a good thing as avoid abuse.
IMO detecting abusive people is best done by seeing how they react when challenged, especially by someone they might consider a lesser.
