  • Vim makes it easy to edit text in complicated ways, once you’ve learned it.

    Vim is not easy to learn nor intuitive.

    It is simple and compounding.

    You might not ever edit enough text to ever need to learn a new skillset to edit text. If that’s the case, use nano.

    But if you do find yourself editing a lot of text, consider trying vimtutor.

    It takes 20 minutes and you’ll be proficient enough to match nano’s efficiency ceiling.

    Most restaurants are chains and owned by a small handful of corporations and mega-franchisees. Their shareholders make a lot of money.

    Most small businesses (restaurants or otherwise) go broke because they are undercapitalized or otherwise mismanaged.

    It takes money to make money.

    And If you want to make the jump from wage earner to small business owner, making higher wages helps a lot.

    Higher wages means the next generation of small businesses are more successful. More successful small businesses create more competition and keep prices lower for consumers.

    Tetrapod animals (those with four limbs) are all thought to be related.

    This group includes two main divisions amniotes and non-amniotes. Amniotes produce young in eggs with four distinct layers (one of which is the Amnion) which makes them well-adapted for surviving on land. Frogs and Salamanders are examples of non-amniote tetrapods.

    Amniotes are a large group which are divided into groups based on the number of openings in their skulls near the temples. The two surviving groups in today’s animals are synapsid (one pair of openings) which includes all mammals. And diapsids (two openings) which includes all modern reptiles and birds.

    The Mesazoic Era (the age of the Dinosaurs) was 250 million years ago (Ma) to 65 Ma.

    Dimetrodon was a synapsid that lived about 295 Ma. So it’s not really in the right evolutionary family to be a dinosaur, and it lived long before dinosaurs.

    It superficially resembles a large lizard (but in reality it’s a closer relative to mammals than any true dinosaur).
