There was a cool guide/meme about lichen a while back. The stuff is weird and very hardy (until it isn't). Like, sits on a rock and just lives there year round. -40? Not a problem, it will just do nothing until it warms up then it will keep growing. So Antarctica isn't really going to stop it, just slow it down.

How useful! I can't count the number of quarter-pennies I've lost...
To add to this, the Primitive Technology channel on YouTube shows how to make a fire with two sticks. The key to his preferred method is a harder stick with a point and a softer one with a notch. Then you have a lot of work, prep, and trial and error ahead of you.
I got in on the second season of the IP craze. 6L, stainless pot, didn't actually think about the pressure vessel, I'd have to check if it was non-stick. But it does well. I think if I got a decent air fryer 80% of my need for a stove would be negated.
British Citizen in 1910: India is a conflict that was resolved 100 years ago.
I didn't realize things had progressed to this point. I thought there were still some mainstream distros that would qualify as Free, but the only ones GNU endorses are ones I've never heard of. There do still seem to be some non-GNU projects with a freedom-first philosophy.
They didn't wear pyjama's to work, but they did wear them out of the house to go buy snacks or such. Also, a number of us didn't normally wear suits or ties to work, especially if we were technical and not sales or administrative. This might have been due to ~~not~~ being in Canada. I did a few weeks in Toronto, and a number of guys followed the same rule.
Edit: the most frustrating programming error.
There are discussions about open vs. free going back over 20 years, that I know of. The divorce happened long ago, but they're still neighbors.
I had coworkers in the early 2000s who would do this, working in a white collar profession, and pretty sure they weren't alcoholics or doing (hard) drugs.
...fresh cloned bodies...
The jacket makes a pretty shitty statement on the face of it, no matter how you could present it, and the message is completely wrong to wear to a children's detention facility. I honestly believe she didn't think about any aspect of it except as a fashion statement, which is a good indication she shouldn't be a public representative.
If wealth is accumulated due to merit, why does wealth tend to accumulate within families? Are these families somehow more meritorious than the rest of the population? Is it perhaps the multi-generational connections made in industry providing additional benefit to those families?
As for the free market, the FDA was formed because bakers in the free market realized that sawdust was cheaper than flour. The free market also requires perfect information to function correctly, but even if you have that how will it help if there is no better regulation. Once upon a time the only kind of match you could buy were made with white phosphorus, despite how dangerous it was to work with. It took regulation to switch to red phosphorus, even though the expense was only slightly higher.
