Is this a bellwether or an outlier?
Is there even a way to know at this point?

Does sponsorblock block these?

The dev actually went on Twitter[1] to say this currently breaks the extension and they disabled submissions from users with embedded ads enabled

Even if they use a shitty cable you can pull your own cable through after the fact, no? Might not work well with flimsy fiber if they took tight turns, but CAT7 should be fine.
Not every time. In my current place the cable is stapled directly to the studs so it would require gutting basically everything to replace all of it. Luckily most of the runs go to places that make sense but I’ll never be able to upgrade from CAT5e.

From the documentation, it seems like there is 0 mercurial support. It's its own separate version control system that diverged years ago. You can either use the sapling scm client or git.
Oh I didn’t realize. Internally we use `hg` commands for everything so I guess it’s just the internal version that supports mercurial

That’s 2014 vintage. Is it still true?
Yup! In fact Meta’s implementation is open sourced as Sapling SCM and includes both Mercurial and Git support[1]. Internally the main repository use Mercurial although I believe a few legacy projects still use git.

Looks like it's based on the BD-1 droid from the jedi fallen order franchise: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/BD-1
He is, in fact, adorable.
If you watch the video linked in the article he even beeps like BD-1! I love it!
Literally not how things work. The last time states tried to secede a little thing called the Civil War happened and we determined that no, actually you can’t just leave the US whenever you feel like it.

According to: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=yearly+rainfall+in+albe... there has been no change in rainfall or temperature in Alberta over the past 70 years.
Are we looking at the same data? Cuz I see the temperature going up around 5ish degrees since the 60s and almost no rainfall the last few years according to your link. I’m on mobile so I can’t see exact numbers but it’s definitely noticeable.
