Why are fruit special though? Leaves and roots are also part of a plant, so why would a tomato not be a vegetable, but lettuce (leaf) and carrot (root) get exemptions?

What exactly is a vegetable, by your definition?

As others point out, vegetable is a culinary term; fruit is a botanical and culinary term.

You're right, for new drives it looks like a little more with this 20GB retailing for $230, or $11.50/TB.

For refurbished, I recently got a factory renewed 12TB Seagate for $112 ($9.33/TB), but that price is now up to $199 for the same drive (!).

D minor...the saddest of all keys.

Official numbers here https://www.debian.org/mirror/size

About 4.4TB, but that's all architectures and (I believe?) all distributions (stable, testing...).

If you only want source+all+amd64+arm64, and only want stable, it will be smaller of course.

Not nothing, but at $10/TB or so, it's not much.

And if you're following 3-2-1, I'm pretty sure the "1" is already handled for you :)

Good point, edited to add comment.

Edit: as pointed out below, these numbers are for type 1 and 2, so the population is requiring insulin is much lower than this.

Among the U.S. population overall, crude estimates for 2021 were:

• 38.4 million people of all ages—or 11.6% of the U.S. population—had diabetes.

• 38.1 million adults aged 18 years or older—or 14.7% of all U.S. adults—had diabetes (Table 1a; Table 1b).

Sure, the majority of folks don't have diabetes, but come on, this affects a huge number of people, and I would bet that a vast, vast majority of people at least know someone with diabetes.

And yes, those are national whereas this is California---but it's also about changing hearts and minds. When someone from Texas, struggling to pay for their kid's insulin, learns about this, they might just question some things.

Legend has it that Bruce Springsteen's Glory Days is based off of the life of Uncle Rico.

I've been really impressed with Immich, can't recommend it enough.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'd put substitute first, but yours sounds better :)

(I'm a big Immich fan, and I'm taking and sharing photos more than ever before, in part because Immich is awesome, self hosted, and open source [the other part is that I have kids now so I'm taking way more photos that grandparents want to see].)

Then they took the planes apart and copied them as closely as possible.

Which was tricky given imperial vs. metric supply chains/production capabilities:

The Soviet Union used the metric system and so sheet aluminium in thicknesses matching the B-29's U.S. customary measurements was unavailable. The corresponding metric-gauge metal was of different thicknesses. Alloys and other materials new to the Soviet Union had to be brought into production. Extensive re-engineering had to take place to compensate for the differences, and Soviet official strength margins had to be decreased to avoid further redesign.[11] Despite those challenges, the prototype Tu-4 weighed only 340 kg (750 lb) more than the B-29, a difference of less than 1%.[12]
