Sigh. Desktop died. Probably power supply AND motherboard. RIP.
I have all the hardware for my laptop (Surface Book) to interface with two monitors. I have a smaller backup laptop (Surface 5 refurb from a local comp repair place). Getting all the components to talk to both laptops has been interesting. The smaller laptop newer and works with all the gear, but the Book is two years older and does not interface with everything.
How many different video connections to HDMI are possible? USB-C, mini video, HDMI-to-HDMI, and ...??? Apparently, one needs all the adapters.

So maybe like a century or so from now there'll be farm-raised insects for human's protein diet...likely grasshopper, locust, others...I thought of this since I almost consumed a fly who'd drowned in my wine...

When common here? In what foods now? I'm talking about going to the store for like, locust hot dogs, or something, adjacent red meat section...
...or would it be like surimi (fish mash), which I find so effeing delicious it's in my cooler.
...but so full of heavy metals for my weakening system...

It's available here, but maybe mail-order only?? Not rare in Africa, Central America, and other places. I have seen the grasshoppers in 'boutique' stores - maybe as long as 30 years ago.

I had a colleague who, as a child, would dig the queen out of a massive termite mound, roast her, and eat her on a stick. Although, roasting them in banana leaves is more common.

Altho tempted to put this in the "Bad Google!......" thread (for good reason if one reads it all)............I'm setting it here just for general purposes. Once upon a time, I recommended Wendell Berry (to Buzz specifically, I believe), and this one found favor with him. Maybe even more timely now:

I'd be interested in knowing minimum moves to solve since I know I used way more, but I needed a few of them for sure.
