Vagility is a great word- it has a good sound and rhythm and the added bonus of sounding like it is probably something rude. Might be limited opportunities to work it into a conversation but I am willing to wait Thank you.

I think he is talking education as in school/college/university rather than learning? I too am finding AI incredibly useful for learning, I use it for high level overviews and to help guide me to resources (online formats and book

Felt sure that this thread would reference Terry Pratchett, he was a man who understood the danger of librarians.

Further to your point the Scots and Irish aren't even Anglo-Saxon. You could make the argument for calling them Anglo-Celtic now but not so much at the time of the settlement of the US.

Also the first real programming language I learned, on an early version of DOS (3.?). I wrote a utility to encode data which was burnt to Eeproms for VHF radio's (fixed base units) I don't remember the details but it was cool to w

> In the right conditions it has a half life of a few days and will be completely inert in a couple of weeks. As far as I can tell this is not accurate- glyphosate breaks down to AMPA which is not inert.

Joplin has served me well as an Evernote replacement. If by integration with the browser you mean snipping content then I think it meets your requirements.

See my other reply re training, employers here in WA generally want a Cert III minimum. There are jobs available but the pay is pretty poor. There are plenty of industries paying better for equally physical work (albeit not in a garden envi

I did a 6 months Cert III in horticulture, a Permaculture Design Certificate and read and watched as much as I could. Every day is a school day and I am still learning. Not sure about where you are but here in Western Australia the paid job

Retrained last year as a horticulturalist after 30+ years in IT and communications. I am fitter and healthier than I have been in decades. Pay rates in the industry are low but I am building up my own business and enjoying the lifestyle ben

I used to make ~2x my spouse. Now she makes ~2x me (her increased a bit and by choice mine decreased a lot). We have always treated it as "our" money not mine or hers. Scott Pape in Barefoot Investor says couples should use joint

I understand the cost and complexity of doing so but I think that production loads should be engineered across two or more service providers. That way any incident on a given provider is recoverable without that providers cooperation and yo

I had a HP200LX back in the day, it was a great little machine and I taught myself rudimentary C primarily on it and have often yearned for a modern replacement.

Explains why the online training course I was part way through stopped working! Amusing that the quickest diagnosis came from skimming the headlines here :)

Doh corollary doesn't mean what I thought. I learned something thank you. I meant the opposite.

The corollary of Dunning Kruger is that everyone is equally capable and equally capable of assessing their performance. This nicely suits the current social rhetoric but does not match observed reality. Edit-see below I meant opposite not c
