  • “Come off” is possibly a fluent English expression here. Taken literally anything that is removed from a plant has come off it. You’re using the expression which means something produced by the plant that is edible by function and doesn’t harm the plant to remove, usually as part of seed dispersal. E.g. fruits, nuts, berries squash, corn, grains, etc…



  • I haven’t generalized anything beyond the extents of

    1. my area geographically
    2. The groups in my area which i interact with
    3. An individuals weight within a community over time.

    I have not said it’s impossible to do for me and have made no claim on the ability for others to do it.

    I’ll give you so much as i didn’t append “for me” or “in my situation” to every sentence, but the statements lay within the context provided in the rest of the post.

    I’m not denying it’s technically feasible. I do deny learned helplessness. I have limited energy in life. Using it on making a change I’m not passionate about is a recipe for severe burnout. If i get more involved and find there’s sentiment towards a migration away from FB then I’d spend some energy on building and facilitating that. Barging in and making demands isn’t an effective way to build community. You can introduce ideas and develop them over time to show that it comes from care for and dedication to the org.

    So yeah it’s unrealistic on the time scales I’m concerned with.







  • The problem isn’t that they were keeping a USB cable in a secured location for security concerns, the problem was that they were doing so because they believed bits were left over in the copper itself and enough such that data would be recoverable. Like marbles through a tube.

    I do hope the practice was due to your point and that the particular person was just naive, misinterpreting a presumably shitty PowerPoint.
