I don't know shit.
Yeah? Well I know shit all.
The recommended way to exit neovim is via sudo kill -9.
Bananas are being killed by a fungus blight and will be gone in ten years...
Wait really? Surely something can be done about that
Gros Michel was tastier than modern Cavendish anyway.
We switched to Cavendish because all the gros Michael trees were dying from the fungi.
That's the point of the OP of the thread. I've read though, that Gros Michel is stll grown in small farms, just not at scale.
It is and you can buy them, but you pay a significant premium for them.
IIRC Cavendish is supposed to be more resilient to the fungi than Gros Michael is, but it's not immune. The fungi mostly exists underground so it's difficult, if not impossible to remove from the land once it's "infected".... And it takes decades to clear naturally once the trees are removed.
The good thing here is that we already have Gros Michael and AFAIK, Cavendish seeds in the global seed vault, so we're not at risk of losing the ability to bring the trees back at some point in the future. We still haven't lost them, as you mentioned, there's still small batches being grown.
IMO, it's all a bit sad, since apparently Gros Michael is so much tastier, and there's a shrinking number of people alive who are old enough to remember what they tasted like at all.... So without investing in buying some from one of the small batch plantations still growing them, very soon, all but those that specifically went out of their way to try them, will have no idea what they taste like.
I'm not old enough to remember what they taste like (if they even existed as an option in the grocery when I was born at all, which I'm not sure about). I'll probably never know.
I was born in 1977, and the fungi that destroyed most of Gros Michel seem to happen in 1950ies. But I can say for sure that bananas in my childhood were much tastier than now. Maybe because there are much more sorts of bananas except GM and Cavendish, or maybe GM was still sold and I was lucky to try it. Modern bananas are outright bland to me.
Can't come soon enough...
Yo, I got plenty of experience with stuff, I did lots of stuff when I was younger and still do stuff often, so feel free to ask me about stuff!
Clearly you're unqualified, you know about stuff, they're looking for someone with experience in anything and knowledge of something. Your knowledge of stuff isn't needed here.
🥺
What kind of stuff do you put in a turkey before cooking it?
The good stuff
So how many stuffs have you done this far?
Lotsa stuff
A set of propositional formulas is satisfiable if and only if all finite subsets of it are satisfiable.
The cardinality of a set is always smaller than the cardinality of the set of subsets of the former set.
A set cannot contain itself.
There is no 1 to 1 mapping from the natural numbers to the real numbers.
There is a 1 to 1 mapping from the natural numbers to the rational numbers.
Something exists. I cannot tell you what it is but it does exist. Maybe reality is an illusion but even then the illusion exists.
You're doing it wrong right now. Just do it right and it will work. Thank me later.
The stem on a wine glass has a purpose besides looking fancy. A wine drinker is meant to hold the glass by the stem so the temperature in their hand doesn't affect the flavor profile in the wine. All wines have an ideal serving temperature also. It depends on the specific wine, but in general, reds are slightly below room temperature and whites are slightly above fridge temperature.
Thanks I'll use this for when I next have soup
May I offer you a bowl of sauvignon blanc to go with your glass of soup?
I'd take some toilet wine
Very well, your toilet wine will be served to you together with the bath tub lasagna
Yeah, I'd like to order a paint can of toilet wine too, please.
Nah we use soup glasses in this crack home
That's a complicated way to say "cool" and "cooler."
red wine glasses also usually have a flatter bottom so that you can heat it up if needed by holding it on your palm with the stem going under
I just put the wine box on top of the dish washer
Who, me?
I know a little about somethings and a lot about like 2 things!
What two things?
Aviation and photography!
ball sack one cannot be contained in ball sack 2

That's racist
I will peel you like an orangutan.
I resent the implication that I know anything about anything
A lot of people think that to get to orbit, you just go up. That's partially true, but in reality you go up to get out of the atmosphere, and then go sideways really, really fast.
Imagine throwing a ball in the air. If you throw it straight up, then no matter how high you throw it, it just comes back down. Now imagine throwing it across the room. It falls in a curved arc, right? Now imagine throwing it so fast that it goes past the horizon. That curved arc is still there, and it's much longer now.
Now imagine throwing it so hard that it not only goes past the horizon, it actually never hits the earth in the first place. That's an orbit! Of course, the earth has an atmosphere, so it would slow down because of aerodynamic drag. That's why we send rockets way upward—to get out of the air.
So a satellite in orbit is literally just falling constantly, but because it's going so fast, it's always missing the earth. It's for this reason that an astronaut can't "fall off of" the space station. They're moving just as fast as the station is, and so even if they pushed themselves off of it, they would remain in orbit.
But, without any thrust, they would stay in orbit for years. Eventually, if in low orbit, their space suit will collide with enough stray atoms, it'll lose enough speed to fall back to earth and incinerate in the atmosphere.
If you find yourself on a space station don't push yourself off it tho.
