Full Metal Jacket.

That was a brilliant explanation, thank you.

para- and mono-phyletic were indeed the problem words. I can tell they are related to phylum but “phylum” doesn’t mean much to me except to know that it’s a word for some grouping of species.

The other part where I was snagged is the significance of cladistics and the new/old classification methods. I knew both terms as “words for groups of species and hadn’t dug further.

Between the family tree example and the diagram — got it, thanks to you and your sibling reply.

I kinda know what some of those words mean.

Can I get a picture?

That is pretty severely exaggerated though to emphasize the form.

Usually for these devices the application generates ZPL printer data directly. What application are you thinking of using?

Zebra indicates that there are CUPS drivers available for their printers on “some Linux distributions”

There’s also this GitHub repo which promises a better PPD file for Zebra printers.

… 9/10 response. I chuckled!

We’re not. Jack is just another way to say “guy”, “man”, or “dude”

Edit: or more specifically but less relevant now, “peasant” or “commoner”, someone of low social status.

Kind of interesting to compare to “Guy”, another instance of a given name turned into a generic term.

That’s not really a hierarchy thing though.

Just a measure of how skilled / experienced someone is, and how suitable it is for them to be teaching someone else.

I think we need more people sharing their knowledge and we don’t need the blind leading the blind.

I’ll add the PineTime to that. Doesn’t do anything too fancy but it works well enough.

Because reissues of old games are overpriced.

The example given is Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for $100

I found some articles which quoted release pricing at $70 and questioning that being a reasonable price, so $100 may be beyond the pale.

Edit: CA vs US explains the displayed price difference.

Probably because they’re dead simple.

It’s not even about preference but about versatility and adaptability.

You don’t have to be prefer to use them, but being able to deal with the unexpected and figure out the unfamiliar is generally a sign of intelligence.

This has been the case for as long as i can remember (since the early 2000s)

If it helps, there is evidence that you don’t actually need to reference them. Just writing them down helps the memory process.

I understand it. Who wants to use two passwords to access their computer?

Light brown aka tan.

Yeah but we need that good old-fashioned vigilance against Russian propaganda … now the same folks swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

they think that people still live in the cold war era

Their target audience is boomers. Now if only they still had the Russophobia that they did back then…

Contractville is janky as hell and not anywhere near the scale of GTA. But it is damn fun.

The logic is that the most useful app will be the most popular by virtue of its utility.

Not always true but I’m sure there’s some correlation.

Keeper, myself. Work gives me a free/subsidized family plan so sure I’ll take it.

Definitely better than Lastpass.
