That's a pointless example.

    [ "$foo" = bar ] && echo Yes
For substring matches, [ and * globs are generally good enough.

    [ "$bar" = extra* ] && echo '$bar began with extra'
Bash's regex dialect is primitive and rarely worth fussing over. For anything complicated, use another tool be it grep, awk, perl, or such. There are diminishing returns of obsessing over doing everything in bash when a complicated task demands more capabilities suitable to another tool with greater reusability, modularity, and intrinsic types.

I don't see any source code, wiring diagrams, or service manuals. Clickbait?

Yep. It's usually the wrong tree species, wrong placement, or poor maintenance that leads to problems. I had 100'+ pine trees in my hard. Beetles were somewhat of a problem but the woodpeckers were all over them and systemics helped.

Grew up in an house with 60' Australian willows that became too fragile and messy and were too close to a structure. Also, never get lemon trees because thorns from hell.

There are different types of large trees with variations in structural strength of root systems that can be planted far enough away to not be a fire or mechanical hazard but close enough for shade. Minimizing surface roots by choosing the right species. Where I grew up, there was a storm with straight line winds 110 mph that took out every fence but only half of the trees and very few of the old trees.

Yep. Pine needles are the worst. Gutter guards are a timesaver.

Interesting. Barium Sulfate (Spectraflect) was likely the previous record holder at 98%.

It would be more useful for the various major distros to pitch in for easy, simple, congruent CLI, UI, declarative, and API configuration management for common advanced configuration.

Creating artificial lock-in that doesn't work is a double-barrel footgun blast.

The Ubuntu people are like the SystemD people: they just want to reinvent things from scratch and shove it down everyone's throats without any consideration.

Friends don't let friends Ubuntu and drive. Don't do crippled, insecure commercial-ware run by crazy people.

I run a bunch of WUH721414ALE6L4 and WUH721414ALE604 in numerous RAID10 volumes. Haven't had a failure yet.

They're also more dangerous to their occupants than mid-sized sedans.

There should also be an SUV tax.

I have FHC. I'll have to check my SNPs export to see if I have this specific mutation. Total cholesterol is always 230+ but thankfully I don't have arteriosclerosis or coronary disease per cardiac workup including catheterization.
