Planning wood, expect during kezuroukai, is annoying because knots are hard and deform the thin edge; most often still wet enough to oxydize the thin edge; finally full of abrasive silicium to abrade the thin edge.

Meanwhile, lake erie toolworks is creating powder metallurgy CPM magnacut blades for western style planes, which seemingly never gets dull because of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and hardness.

France. I know my city workers use them to clean the streets in autumn. Wet leaves are slipery. Then people mostly use rakes AFAIK, or the lawn mower.

Though I know some tools, such as branch shredders are regulated in some residential areas, but I don't frequent those.

You can find all the problems of Software in Woodworking, except that sometimes, using an axe is a legal and well-suited move.

You would basically never use an axe in woodworking. It's widely considered bad practice, produces unstable results, and there are better tools available

I use an axe and a draw knife on logs. This closes the pores and helps preserve the wood longer than if you put a sander on it.

Well, I mean you could use an adze or a froe. Axes are really common in green woodworking (chair making) and they’re great for getting wood to split along the grain.

I second the green woodworking comment. An axe (and wedges) are a good way to hand-split logs into boards. And easier than doing it with a saw in some cases. Hand tool woodworking really makes you appreciate the multitude of weird old tools you find in antique stores and how clever people were when using human power before power tools.

Including the questioning of the tools you use, and people telling you "you're doing it wrong".

No.

Some google meet features are chrome only (background blur, picture in picture).

I can't say I have noticed much else, so I use chrome for gsuite and firefox for everything else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They work for me on Firefox 120 on Gnome 45.2.

I think this is a recent change. Background blur certainly did not work for me before, but the other week I noticed it did.

To be fair, most million plus LOC projects match “misfortune” and “nightmare”.

Go is verbose, a million plus LOC doesn't go as far as it would otherwise.

I don't know, my experience with mega SLOC projects were Java, so verbosity was also a thing.

Go's verbosity is usually found in multiples (if err), not in long forms (int[] arrayOfIntegersWithValuesOneToFive = new ArrayFactory().createArrayWithSize(5).populateWithValues(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); ).

Early 2024 :/

Not really my experience, as long as the stable services costs of operation are good. I have witnessed more chopping on the R&D side, where things are never "stable and reliable", but innovative and expensive.

No need to change or outsource something that works technically and financially. Until it becomes irrelevant.

Very common in France if you ever drive by. Usually sold as a small 30cm^3 plant which will probably grown up to 1.5m in diameter the first year. I used to have 7 in 12m2. It’s also possible to grow from seeds, which you can buy online. It will require some dedication.

IME a very easy perennial, if you can prevent drought. Plant and forget. Like artichokes.

From what I know, not everywhere in France but in the north. It was impossible to me to find this month in Occitane, at least.

The brought-in-for-some-purpose, escape-to-bush, become-feral, become-pest worked also for cats, dogs, horses ... up-to camels. I am not aware of Australian Feral Elephants but it may exist.
