Not sure the point of your comment. The article uses that word, or ither forms of it a bunch, they are not shying away from it. An immigrant is someone who moves TO a country. An emmigrant is someone who moves FROM a country. These are both permanent moves (or intended to be). An expat is someone who LIVES in another country. Formally it means temporarily but I've seen it colloquially used for both temp and permanent.

So "US expats in New Zealand" is precise and inclusive whereas "immigrant" means people from any country who moved permanently. Imprecise and non inclusive.

I disabled to use of emojis when I set up our companies internal wiki for SOP thinking that wasn't appropriate for technical documentation, but my boss asked me to turn them back on because he wanted to use them. I begrudgingly obliged.

Turns out he didn't want to use smileies, just the icons for quickly identifying bullet points like ⛔‼️✅❕or even 🌐🖨️

When you push something you push the atoms in the thing. This in turn pushes the adjacent atoms, when push the adjacent atoms all the way down the line. Very much like pushing water in the bathtub, it ripples down the line. The speed at which atoms propogate this ripple is the speed of sound. In air this is roughly 700mph, but as the substance gets harder* it gets faster. For example, aluminum and steel it is about 11,000mph. That's why there's a movie trope about putting your ear to the railroad line to hear the train.

If you are talking about something magically hard then I suppose the speed of sound in that material could approach the speed of light, but still not surpass it. Nothing with mass may travel the speed of light, not even an electron, let alone nuclei.

Hey, I'm an American moving to NZ (Whangerei, Northland) in a few months and am trying to device if I should fly my desktop/server over or just build a new one there.

What's the general availability of server and desktop parts there? Any recommended local shops, or do I need to import everything from Asia?

It was folic acid for me. Turns out me and my family don't get the full affect of vitamins or medicines. After some genetic testing we are all taking it and are all feeling a lot better and our meds are actually working. It's nuts how simple it was to turn us all around.

Most food contains bugs. Its unlikely that it would be a large enough quantity to change the nutrition labels.

Tea is made from plants. All plants have proteins. The parts of the plant that we eat may or may not be a good source of protein for humans.

Practically all Chinese, Indian, and English teas are all made from the same species of plant, Camellia sinensis, simply known as a tea tree. If you were to eat the leaves they would be a good source of protein and fiber, not to mention vitamins and antioxidants. However, we discard the leaves with the fiber, and typical ways of preparing the leaves and the tea can decrease the protein and antioxidants. Its possible your brand flash freezes tthe leaves or uses some other method to try and preserve these nutrients. Ive seen some English teas that are powder you mix in instead of steeping, and this would work as well. In fact, tea leaves are absolutely edible! If you get a decent to high quality tea you can take your leaves after you make tea and throw them in a smoothie, soup, or even eggs and youll get the rest of the nutrients left in them and wont be thowing food in the bin.

I would very much like to move from Google and Microsoft and other proprietary, non privacy services.

I have spent hundreds of $ and thousands of hours trying to setup various different services on various different platforms and every single one of them has been difficult, annoying, frustrating, and ultimately fails.

I have concluded I am just not the guy to do this as I am Windows CAD guy and have no idea what I am doing with networking, Linux or CLI. 90% of the words and terms in tutorials are greek to me.

I am looking for notes (Joplin), Google Drive replacement (NextCloud?), and email (??) on a cloud server. And then video streaming (plex or jellyfin + *arr?) and photo management (immich?) on my local machines.

Let me know if you are interested or know of somewhere better to post this.
