My gosh, Drupal, what a blast from the past! That, and Joomla. Haven't thought about those in years. Glad to see they're still going.

Fun little nugget, Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoos almost universally favour their left feet as a holdfast. They're also left eye dominant.

Relevant video from Ann Reardon's How To Cook That about exploding Pyrex (and the difference between all capitals and all lowercase): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbkDAw4aJs

Turned out that distinction isn't too reliable when it comes to determining whether a product used soda lime glass or borosilicate glass instead.

Odd. That is not there for me and I cannot add it :( I have the same problem as OP. I wish it were simple.

> I think it was Microsoft FrontPage that had the most undigestible output at the time.

Nah, I would argue that was Microsoft Word's (Office?) Save as Web Page feature. Which is what I built my first few websites in as a kid haha before learning about FrontPage and pirating that (back in 2003). FrontPage was a dream in comparison. Then I learned that FrontPage was also not as good, and learnt Dreamweaver is the better option so pirated and tried to use that shortly after, but the WYSIWYG of FrontPage was leagues better to my little child brain. Ah, nostalgia :')

I had a go, but there were a few I wasn't really sure by. To the creator, can you add a "Not sure" option?

> The reason this causes so much suspicion is because we westerners are terrified of what that would mean for the rest of the world.

It would mean having to eschew the neoliberal ideals that impede research and development in favour of the old that made America and to some extent the rest of the West the dominant superpower in R&D for many decades. We should be familiar with it, even if we have lived all or most of ours lives in the former.

Or it would be hard to convert back and we'd have a war first.

It's been a decade at this point since the last big distro (and surrounding drama), Debian and Ubuntu following shortly after, moved to systemd.

And where will the money come from for this second study? What about a third? Fourth?

We live in a money-dependent world. We cannot go without it.
