Wait, what? Really? So, it isn't just about catching wind?

I know it's more complicated because tacking (sp) into the wind is possible, but I haven't the faintest idea on how to apply any of that

The common trolley problem is actually part 1. In part 2 you can save five people by pushing a fat man in front of the trolley to stop it.

Many will pull the lever but not push someone. The point is to examine where the difference lies, despite being Mathematically identical.

Also Theseus' ship is part 1 of 3.

A perfect example is when they decided to adopt systemd when at the time only Red Hat and Arch used it. Their vote to adopt it was the catalyst for nearly every other major distro to adopt it. That's setting a trend, not being conservative.

Slackware is a more accurate example of conservatism in Linux.

This is an entire world of information I didn't know existed, but of course it does. ❤️

There must be so many variations of inversions between all the combinations. Is there a standardized taxonomy?

When you brew what's called a black tea in the Western countries it is a liquid of red-adjacent colours, isn't it?

In Chinese it is literally named "red" tea, thus it is classified as a red tea when the Chinese tea categorization is used (which is common in loose leaf specialty tea circles). But in the West it is known as black.

However, in Chinese there is another category of "black" (or "dark") teas, liquor of which is way darker and at times doesn't pass through the light.

People use the brand name as if it's a generic, and it can even end up with the brand name losing trademark!

Completely agree! Bees are the helpful, friendly joy bringer, imo. Wasps are just flying anger needles

Also, ants are really closely related to wasps! If you see flying ants and you compare them to wasps, you can definitely see the similarities
