Likewise and if people say, "why don't you google that?" I usually reply (obviously to everyone's annoyance:-) "I don't use Google". The general response is a blank, uncomprehending look.

To a young enough audience, you will sound like you exclusively use ChatGPT instead.

Looking up the binary in the package management system would also provide another source of useful information. Of course this would dramatically increase the complexity but would, I think, be useful.

If you could look it up using APT/dpkg first, that would be lovely :-)

If you have its path, dpkg already has an option to do that: "dpkg -S". Although some extra logic is needed for symlinks.

Contempt is very different to hate.

It is very interesting, in our polarized times, what people read into a statement, and if they interpret it charitably or in the worst possible way. Like you, I find contempt and hate very different.

The author clarifies a couple sentences later that the contempt they feel is "the cold, hard anger you hold for a collaborator" - "collaborator" apparently meaning something like the very bad WWII kind of collaborator, rather than the benign artistic co-author kind. So, despite the implicit acknowledgement that there are multiple types of contempt, this particular contempt does sound fairly close to hatred.

No, it sounds like contempt and anger, which is why I suspect the author used those words.

Look up the definition of "hate". How is "cold, hard anger" like one might feel toward a N*zi collaborator not adjacent to that? Why quibble over this?

Geez, what an insane semantic debate. The author clearly has strong, negative emotions towards the people this article is about. Folks who want to nitpick the technicality of these terms are just misunderstanding how language works.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.

> I am (alas) an entirely carbon-based user of the em dash.

What a lovely sentence.

Agreed,Bandcamp is good, very good.

Millions of years!

The fact that they navigate by memorising visual landmarks like trees, buildings, and flowers to recognise familiar routes is unbelievable

I think the most interesting thing about them is that they can communicate the location of flowers to other bees.

Amazing what well trained small neural networks can achieve.

I had a planter wart surgically removed which they packed with Manuka honey and because it's a deep open wound it needs to heal from the inside. I changed the dressing and repacked it every few days for weeks and the wound was absolutely pristine ever time.

I live in the tropics where people die because due to infection which makes it even more interesting that they use honey.

plantar wart. all wart removals should heal pristinely, warts are on only the outermost layers of skin above where scarring occurs.

Surgical wart removal can involve some pretty deep incisions and month long recovery. Scars aren't unheard of as I understand it

(And it can be futile ! The wart can easily come back)

The wound was about 6mm deep on my heel and took months to heal properly. And yes I did check those homophones :-)

And thanks for the other homophone correction!

Pristine implies not only a lack of scarring, but no infection during the healing process.
