    The grassy field was there before the panels. It’s overall utility as a grazing field is not reduced by more than a few percent (if panels are built better than in the photo). Structures should definitely always have panels on them but this isn’t that bad.

    Not really. Lots of grasses thrive in partial/full shade, the shade reduces water loss so there is less plant stress and less irrigation is needed during peak summer heat, and also there are now solar panels available with transparent glass backings that allow 5-10% of the sunlight to still reach the ground below improving growth.

    Cohabitating solar panels and grazing animals is like, almost perfect optimal land use.

    For a 2-3 day trip i don’t need many clothes. 3 sets of underwear, socks, and work polos don’t take much space and easily pack around my laptop and hand tools. I’ll usually re-wear my slacks.

    Any longer and I’ll pack more into a carryon, especially on plant visits where I need steel toed shoes and PPE, but usually use the hotel laundry to cut down on total bulk.

    I travel for work professionally. 99% of the time I’ll travel exclusively with a backpack to carry my essentials, or honestly just carry everything if it’s a <3 day trip. Its very hard to yank a backpack off someone when both straps are on, it’s very ergonomic, it frees my hands to hold my phone/boarding passes/passport/food, etc etc.

    Backpacks are the objectively superior travel and everyday bag, honestly.



  • All Linux distros are roughly the same under the hood. They have a version of the Linux kernel, a service management system, a basic set of packages and preinstalled software, and some kind of UI. How those pieces are put together realistically doesn’t change much. What distro maintainers then do is update the packages and kernel and make sure they work together.

    Specific design distros like the one for scientific modelling is probably based around having a lot of data processing stuff built in. Unless they had a specially modified kernel (which is rare, but possible if they had to integrate special lab data collection hardware support), I see no reason why you couldn’t just recreate the same package structure on a modern Linux 6 kernel and have it be a spiritual successor to the original distro.
