What would you say determines whether a kernel is a Unix kernel?

Not what, who. And the answer is The Open Group,

It’s so absurdly big. Our galaxy (the Milky Way) is estimated to have between 100 and 400 billion stars in it. For a long time we thought our galaxy was all there was, it wasn’t until 1925 when Edwin Hubble was able to prove that M31 was not a nebula or cluster of stars in our galaxy, but in fact an entirely different galaxy altogether that we realized there are more galaxies out there.

Look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field picture

This was a taken by pointing the Hubble Space Telescope at a basically empty bit of space 2.4 by 2.4 arcminutes in size (for comparison, the moon has an apparent size of about 30 arcminutes, or half a degree). So an absolutely tiny part of the sky. It contains about 10.000 galaxies.

The observable universe is estimated to have between 200 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in it, with on average about 100 billion stars per galaxy. It’s absolutely mind blowing.

So buy land, dump trash on it. Got it.

Oh, I get to choose health insurance too. Only it’s not linked to my employer. And they all have to offer the same coverage. And they can’t refuse you for the basic health insurance.

The OP mentions he uses Comcast, which is an American ISP. I myself live in ‘socialist’ Europe and I can choose from 13 different ISP on fiber alone. Surely OP who lives in ‘free-market’ USA must have an unimaginable number of options.

Why not switch to a non-shit ISP?

It’s weirder than that. The difference between orange and brown is context

Every cat I’ve had during my life regulated their own food intake. The important bit is that they consistently have food available. Once they learn to trust that it’s always there they don’t over-eat.

They also get a pouch of wet food every evening. Although it is very important to them that they get this (my cat sits next to her bowl and starts staring at me with this “I’m not angry, just disappointed” look about half an hour before dinner time) they don’t even always finish all their wet food.

It kind of depends on the season how much they eat. In winter they empty their wet food bowls, in summer they eat about 70% and leave the rest.

I just keep the bag of dry food next to their bowls. Neither has ever tried to get into it, probably because it’s just easier to eat from their bowls that we ensure has plenty of dry food in it 24/7.

Same goes for carbon steel. Unless you’re frying sticks of dynamite they are practically indestructible.

Or just install a door on your bathroom and hang the toilet roll over.

Sounds like a case of X-Y problem

E-ink screens aren’t backlit. It’s one of the reasons they are so easy on the eyes. They are front-lit. There are LED’s at the edge of the screen and a light guide on top of the screen that diffuses it onto the e-ink screen. Instead of staring directly into a lightbulb like with LCD the light you see is reflected off the page.

I have a cheap USB to IDE adapter from Aliexpress that uses one of those. The fun part is that you can’t ever replace the cable because they should not be made and no reputable brand will ever sell one.
