It’s often easier for those that have few technical skills to learn new things. Simple because they need to unlearn so little. Experts have to put forth much greater effort to forget the “I have always done it this way” an “Why doesn’t this respond exactly the same way I’m used to.”
It takes far more effort to unlearn years of skills and replace them with new ones.
It’s not so much about users switching, it’s more about the ones that will stick with it. And that we can’t know for a few years yet.
304 Stainless steel? Your soup spoon is made from that. Great for corrosion resistant items that don’t need much hardness. 3xx stainless is also considered easier to machine. Perhaps you meant something from the 440 series A through C? Those are hardenable.
5160 is a spring steel alloy and would be excellent. Except it’s not very corrosion resistant.
This has been known for quite a while now. I’ve seen US Ag short films from the 1930s on the benefits of pasture blends and the increased tonnage of feed it produces and how best to manage it to maximize the feed values for greater profits.
Growing up on a small dairy farm we used a mix of alfalfa, red clover, and timothy or maybe fescue. It’s been few decades. It was pretty much up to providing decent forage even in dry years or on light ground.
Some people are more versatile than others…
Well, at least they are reading something…
It would appear that major distros like RedHat/Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc are not overly concerned at this point. I would suspect that if they truely feared this happening, they would be moving very quickly to create patches or work arounds for this problem.
That more of a problem with the manufacturer, (Morton Thyiokol) telling NASA the o-rings were fine to fly coupled with NASA’s desire to prove the shuttle could fly in that low temp condition.
Turns out risky business has risks.
The interesting thing isn’t how many fatalities NASA has had but rather how few they have had. Exploration has always gotten people killed.
But do make wine from them…
Brambles can be valuable plants, providing shelter and food for many small animals and tasty blackberries for people. But, if they become noxious, they can spread quickly and choke out all other plants. They spread by rooting from the plant tips and even if you dig up the root system, any little piece of root can and will re-root and grow a new plant.
Either move the shed to get at it - all of it - or you honestly may need to resort to herbicide to kill it. It sounds like you have fought them mechanically and are losing the war. I would recommend consulting your local garden center for the best herbicide to apply to kill them.
Even their technology was driven by war. No human civilization has been immune that. Maybe in story books, but never in the real world.
My Great Grandfather lived that change. He went from walking, horses and buggies, steam engines, with no telephones or electricity, to sitting on a couch next to me and watching the first Apollo moon landing. He saw more insane changes to this world than we will ever probably see. But…
It took 2 world wars and millions of dead to drive all that change in that time period of one life. War is the great driver of technological leaps. I’m not sure I feel the need to drive tech advances that fast at the cost of all those lives. Slow and steady might be a better path to travel.
Still, within my lifetime, which much like my Great Grandfather I’m nearing the end of, there have been great changes that everyone just takes for granted. The internet has caused a great disruption in the world. You have access to nearly all the information this world has in an instant. No matter where you are. No more going to a library to look up outdated information in a card catalogue. You can talk to nearly anyone on this planet at any time. When I grew up, we had a party line we shared with 5 other families. And using that phone was expensive. You got billed for each phone call for the duration of that call. You can do business with almost every business on this planet directly. Or Amazon/Walmart/Temu yourself to death if you want. All we had as the Sears or Wards catalogue to mail order from. And then you waited a month to get your order.
You can affordably travel to London, Paris, Tokyo, and nearly everywhere else in a matter of hours. There are re-usable space rockets now. And while the stars might still be just out of reach, there is nowhere in the solar system we can’t go if we really want to. The planets are ours for the taking as soon as we want them. Even true self driving cars are a solid possibility now.
Those are just a few of the things I’ve seen change. And there are many more. But we seldom notice and just take them for granted.
Because it’s a tool I use often during the day. I might open a package with it, scrape some gasket material off of some parts, whittle a stick, de-burr a piece of metal, cut an apple or sandwich. Bunches of uses. At 5:30am this morning, I cut open a package a bacon for my breakfast with it. Why don’t you carry one?
If I don’t have a pocket knife on me, I should probably go back home and put my pants on…
Oh, you want a classroom lesson. After the kill you have one of two choices. You can either cut up the animal and carry it home in pieces, making multiple trips to do so if alone. Or you can process the animal on the spot. Taking a few days to do so.
If you are persistence hunting, you are almost always hunting in a pack. And everyone can carry something back to the camp. Remember: Not everything is going to be brought back. A moose will dress out maybe at 50% at best. And you leave what you can’t carry or don’t want behind. Modern hunters often do similar today. If I can’t get a pickup or 4 wheeler to the spot, I field dress the deer and cut it into quarters and make a couple of trips to carry the meat out. A 200lbs deer will yield about 90lbs of edible meat-- give or take. Easily carried out by one person in 2 trips.
Or you can process the carcass on the spot. It was a common hunting technique in the North Americas to run a herd of animals like bison off a cliff to kill or cripple them. It might take a day or two to set things up, but as the hunt began and the herd was funneled to the cliff, the rest of the group, those that weren’t able to actively participate in the hunt, would follow at a distance behind the hunters. When the herd was run off the cliff, everyone would set up camp right by the kill area and simply eat and process as much as they wanted for later. Again, leaving behind what they couldn’t process or want.
All this information is available by a simple search if you want to know more. A method I highly encourage everyone to use to gain knowledge.
Meh, zombie infestations are easily prevented by simply the shoe laces together of the dead. Thus preventing them from even walking.
Not according to Atlanta’s 39-50 record this season. They ain’t even going to make the wildcard round. Even my pathetic Minnesota Twins are 10 games better than that. And they are still under .500.
I live where we have plenty of wolves and black bears around. Even a cougar or two now. Ain’t a one of them that like being around a human. Much like crocodiles and hippos, the crocs understand that if you mess with a baby hippo, a much large hippo WILL turn you into a nice pair of shoes, a purse, and a brief case in a heartbeat.
Though to be honest, there are a couple of places I’ve bumped a cougar and seen tracks that when I go there alone, I do carry a pistol for self defense. Cats ain’t smart and it’s always better to have a means to be safe than sorry.

So non-experts have an easier time switching vs a Windows power user?
