NeatNit

I don't know the answer but I can tell you two things:

1. It has often been beneficial to me when the search query wasn't taken literally, it's not always a bad thing. Many searches are ones where the user doesn't know exactly what they're looking for. Granted, that's definitely not always the case. That said, I don't remember ever catching it outright ignore stuff like quoted words/phrases.
2. Regarding "save resources", Google introduced Instant Search in 2010 which started showing results as you type, thus creating an ungodly amount of extra load on their servers since each user search now created multiple queries. They clearly have no trouble scaling up resources.

QI (the British panel show) discussed this in an episode during social distancing where they had to perform with no audience: https://youtu.be/EKVD3n6Atl0 (it's the first topic of conversation, not the whole episode of course)

My favourite bit is:

Alan: "I had a radio show in the late 90's, and we were so funny that the people at the BBC comedy said we could use those laughs on nearly every other program we make. [...] That was the best compliment I've ever had in my whole career. 'We've kept your laughs, and we're using them on other shows'."

My guess: it's a mouthful and not catchy. "Linux" is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With "GNU/Linux" I don't even know if I'm supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don't know if I'm supposed to say the "/" as "slash" or "plus" or "and" or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don't know how to say it I'm not going to write it, and I'm not going to like reading it.

I can totally see the merits for "GNU/Linux" but don't underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to "Ginux" it could stand a better chance, but then we'd have another gif situation.

and Windows 10 is obviously so outdated it's not even worth including

Notes:

• I haven't tried it myself
• (step 6) In Mint, instead of using the terminal, open that directory normally in the file manager, then right-click on an empty part of the directory and choose "open as root". Both the file manager and the default text editor after you've opened the file will show red banners reminding you that they are running as root.
• (steps 3-4) I hope you are at least a little familiar with the registry editor on windows, otherwise these steps might be hard to follow

I didn't, but as I said, I don't feel like explaining it more than I did.

It's the idea that water has memory, and that memory-water has healing abilities. I'm not going to explain it more than that but there's no shortage of online sources to both explain it and disprove it.

Beware the binge trap! For I have succumbed to it time and time again.

Psychology, and sensible evolved repulsion from waste. MinuteEarth made a video about this, which you should watch (it's only 2:53), but I'll quote a key part: "we can trick ourselves out of our irrational disgust by doing irrational things like letting recycled water sit in tank for a while before we drink it." Do see the full video for context.

Damn you, I spent way too long watching his other top videos because of you

Found this after a bit of clicking around: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wiki:Deletion_procedure

My suggestion: edit the page, explain at the top of the page (before the table of contents) how to get an up-to-date list using taginfo.

Other than that, maybe follow the deletion procedure anyway, at least to get an admin's attention. This page really doesn't make any sense if it needs to be updated manually (even if it's with a script) when automatically updated info is available elsewhere.

Note, I have extremely little experience with the wiki, this is just my interpretation of the situation.
