Maybe some kind of lobster trap, or just something made just to pass the time?

Buckminster Fuller only coined the word "geodesic" in the late 1940s, so it's hard to know what to search for!

If you're gonna use a single line break with Markdown, you have to put two spaces on the end of each line:

Bacon
Turkey
Mushrooms
Green onion
Garlic clove
Sugar Peas
Kalamata Olives

or put an asterisk and space before each line for a bulleted list:

  • Habanero
  • Gruyere
  • Bleu cheese
  • Red grapes
  • Blackberries
  • Strawberries
  • Honey

Frustrating! I never recommend Amazon - they dodge tax, underpay workers, throw away tons of goods, and their fulfillment centres mix up real and counterfeit goods. No one wins except their execs.

But since it's already done, have you tried raising it to Amazon?

That will work for now - although in my experience the performance of newer OSs on older hardware is not great. Soon, however, new releases of macOS won't support Intel processors. Tahoe, later this year, will supposedly be the last.

UGreen are usually fairly reliable. They're not super high quality but they're not just a no-name generic product with a fake name; they should be similar to Anker in general.

It would be worth checking if your hub is still under their warranty.

If it were divided by continental tectonic plates, it would be welcome news for Southern Asia and most of the Middle East, but terrible news for New Zealand, Iceland, and the Caribbean.

This is fanciful. Regardless of the capacity of a butt of wine or beer, the word "buttload" has only been used since the latter half of the last century.

The original book, Last Chance to See, by Douglas Adams (of Hitchhiker's Guide fame) is absolutely excellent. Mark Cawardine, the guy in your video, was a co-traveler for the book too. I can't recommend it enough.

The kākāpō is a bird out of time. If you look one in its large, round, greeny-brown face, it has a look of serenely innocent incomprehension that makes you want to hug it and tell it that everything will be all right.

It seems that not only has the kākāpō forgotten how to fly, but it has forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Apparently a seriously worried kākāpō will sometimes run up a tree and jump out of it, whereupon it flies like a brick and lands in a graceless heap on the ground.

RIP Douglas Adams.

Hesiod was an Ancient Greek poet generally thought to have been active between 750 and 650 BC, around the same time as Homer.

"πυγοστόλος" literally means "decorating the buttocks," and it might be inferred that Hesiod's temptress wears an alluringly tight chiton, or is in the habit of tying her girdle to accent her hips. A more likely reading of πυγοστόλος, however, is simply "seductive" in the general sense. Greek women of the Archaic period, to the best of our knowledge, were not in the habit of actually decorating their derrières.

The Crabtree effect is where Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts digest carbohydrates both anaerobically – producing ethanol, an antiseptic – and aerobically. Most yeasts in the presence of both sugar and oxygen prefer to only convert these to carbon dioxide and water, which is considerably more efficient but doesn't deter competitors for that sweet, sweet sugar.
