They ARE the ground.

The title had me like “What did those tiny carnivorous plants do now?” but no that’s Utricularia.

I just want a seat at the table for one of their feasts.

Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.

Just write a script that runs periodically to check the log’s size and delete when its near the crash threahold.

Saying they suck things in isn’t really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It’s just gravity.

Also, magnets don’t only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that’s how we have electricity.

Exactly. As far as Linux has come in terms of ease of desktop use and hardware compatibility, there is still a barrier in knowing how to know which flavor is right for you and, almost more importantly, why that flavor is right.

The kernel is too old for newer AMD gpu drivers to work, but switching to a newer kernel isn’t too hard. I had to when I built a new computer last winter, but I have also used various *nixes for a good long time.

Knowing how to discover you need a newer kernel is a bit tough for recent convert, though.

Given the way they’re describing it, US south/southeast. The pitcher plants that grow there grow in marshes and swampy grasslands are from there. Pitcher plants elsewhere in the world are a different type all together, and are generally epiphytes or close to it.

Except Australia and certain south American highlands. Or the pacific northest US. There are like 4 families of pitcher plants, only two of which are closely related (counting sarracenia and darlingtonia together with heliamphora in the family and nepenthes and cephalotus on their own).

Before it got jaws it was a glue trap. Venus flytraps are an evolutionary offshoot of Drosera, the sundews.

Another fun fact is the Yellow Trumpet pitcher plant’s (sarracenia flava) flowers smell like cat pee.

They can’t live in soil that’s got what they need because the nutrients burn the plants’ roots. They got so specialized for nutrient-poor bogs that they can’t live anywhere else.

Ah, the Harrison Bergeron school of parenting.

True beltalowda.

Don’t buy an information vacuum if you don’t want your data sucked up. Definitely don’t buy multiple generations of information vacuum from the same company.

Be the change you want to see. I switched things up and took a job where I work to feed hungry people. It’s pretty great and I feel good about myself and what I do. I’m not gonna fix the whole world, but I am making a difference for those who I reach.

Food bank worker here: though we have no such deal, money with no restrictions on use is just about the best thing to donate. It lets us buy fresh staples that otherwise are hard to come by, like eggs, butter and milk, or seasonally appropriate things like turkeys or hams (we had a total of 3 turkeys donated before Thanksgiving so we purchased around 50).

Next best thing to donate is whole cases of shelf stable foods. Individual cans and boxes must be inspected for best by date, damage to the packaging and complete labels, which becomes time intensive when you have 15 55 gallon barrels full of cans from food drives. Whole cases give you 12 packages of the same thing, all good to go from the factory.

Time is also great, but usually more needed the rest of the year. We don’t let people volunteer at our outreach center during the holidays if they don’t volunteer year round, simply because the people who only show up on the holidays tend to be doing a sort of poverty tourism that we find a little distasteful. Also, fresh volunteers need training and things are simply too crazy around the holidays to deal with it. If anyone is interested in food bank work, please find somewhere to volunteer the rest of the year. Feeding people is extremely satisfying work and we do need help the other 11 months of the year.

You can take it from my cold, slippery hands.

Half your age, plus seven. If you’re 25 that’s 12.5+7=19.5. You’re good to go.
