Some cities offer guides or services for native plants! https://sfpublicworks.org/services/plant-lists-and-palettes

It's even divided across the city's different climate zones (San Francisco is small, but can have huge differences in weather from one side to the other).

I recall a SoCal city even offering free consultation for native gardens.

With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.

Except that this problem doesn't specify distance between horseman, so I think it's a bit bogus


no.need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they're there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn't resolvable (a person being a "single pixel" would have a different hue depending).

Dipoles are, effectively, not


so if you have a charged bit and another opposite charged bit, while an inverse relationship might exist between either one, the net effect is that it drops off much faster.

The thing with gravity is it tends to go one way, unlike, say, charge.

We're in the market for a kid carrying ebike, and while REI makes the most financial sense, I think we'll be paying a visit to our LBS.

As an aside, I tend to prefer Sports Basement. Have had better luck with their bike department, too. No idea if they're better from a corporate standpoint though.

This is the real big brain hack with decibels


you can use a linear scale, it's just that the units are logarithmic instead.

(Yes I know most people would call a dB axis logarithmic, it's just a silly comment.)

Fail2ban config can get fairly involved in my experience. I'm probably not doing it the right way, as I wrote a bunch of web server ban rules


anyone trying to access wpadmin gets banned, for instance (I don't use WordPress, and if I did, it wouldn't be accessible from my public facing reverse proxy).

I just skimmed my nginx logs and looked for anything funky and put that in a ban rule, basically.

The lack of logic is astounding.

These are the same people who think abstinence only education works. Safe to say they're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Judging by the camera angle, OP may have been today years old when they learned this as well (I learned it well into my 30s, too).

My favorite is Barry Marshall. He thought there was a connection between bacteria and ulcers, which was an unpopular opinion at the time. So he intentionally drank the offending bacteria, got sick as expected, and then people believed him.

More here, including (which I didn't know until now) cardiac catheterization.

I'm sure better sources exist but https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/these-five-doctors-experimented-on-themselves-and-made-big-breakthroughs

Innovation, perhaps; progress...that's something else.

I'm gonna try to guess the most likely LLM response to your post, trained on reddit data:

"This."

How'd I do?
