This is not tbe first time i've heard of dental offices unnecessarily removing teeth in pursuit of profits.

I've got three and I've been trying to grow each from seed:

  1. Dawn Redwood because it has an incredible backstory, it is a true redwood contrary to popular belief, and It easily grows where I'm at.
  2. Giant Sequoia because they are massive, it is also a true redwood, and it can allegedly grow where I'm at.
  3. Cedar of Lebanon because I grew up in one of the many U.S. towns of Lebanon named for the trees as referenced in that religious book and I remember the original Cedar of Lebanon referenced in that story I linked.

Unfortunately, I can't get the Giant Sequoias past a few inches tall while even acknowledging their infamous 20% germination rate. The Cedar of Lebanon seeds I can't even get to germinate but I also haven't found as much academic literature on cultivating them from seeds.

Shoutout to the Ginkgo Biloba for being one of the OG trees, also.

hey, that's the same time I stopped sharing new content, though it took 4 more years before I officially deleted my FB account. By that point i was checking it only once every three months.

He alludes to sanctions being a factor but never clarifies on advice from his lawyers. ngl I don't like the look of it just from a transparency perspective.

it's an outlier for sure. I don't think I have a specific use-case for it as a distro but I do find it more respectable than Android.

it's an alternative to GNU/Linux proposed by Richard Stallman. I use it because I don't want to write out as much and I still want to differentiate from my use of Android's OS which is also technically Linux but it's not GNU.

I was formally studying Software Development before I came here, and yeah, I've been a sort of techie for the better part of 24 years. Been a LiGNUx user for probably a combined 18 years. If it wasn't for FOSS I probably would have lost interest long ago, because when I recently tried out some new hobbies I was shocked as I was reminded how much other basic activities cost to seriously engage in. I also happened to migrate from that other website you mentioned, but that's not important. I really wanted to simply find other forums that weren't based on one centralized website. Lemmy is kind of a compromise with that for me.

Even if you don't have a Verizon version initially, when you switch over to them as a carrier, they may push an update to your phone thatt locks the owner out of a bunch of features.

I discovered this when my unlocked Galaxy S8 was moved fron Consumer Cellular to Verizon. -It sucks that after 20+ years they still have better coverage.

This would be like producing an engraving based on a altered photograph, and as I said earlier, it would be worth consulting with an IP attorney.

Well I agree with you on that but unless you have verifiable credentials as an authority on the subject then your judgement and seeming disagreement on the subject also doesn't matter. To go around cavalierly making unverfiable claims (like I'm also responding to) about the judgements over intellectual property law does nothing good for anyone, but leaves many susceptible (including yourself) to Dunning–Kruger and confirmation bias.
