As someone who works with XML a lot, it's absolutely terrible. The sooner it's out of my life the better.

A shame this project is pretty well dead, but I really cannot blame the maintainer for moving on.

    It's a pretty good snack or small breakfast, actually. Top it with some salt and pepper, it's quite nice. Assuming you like avocado, at least.

    To me the bigger issue of the argument is that the boomers seem to think it's some extravagant luxury. I can get a good avocado for like a $1.50 - breakfast avocado toast ends up being maybe $2.

    Yeah, this is the distinction I'm trying to draw between "common" and "scientific" terminology. Scientific taxonomy is based on evolutionary history, rather than just superficial traits like "has gills, fins, and lives mostly in water."

    Hank Green went off about this recently. "Fish" just has no scientific meaning, and there are fish tetrapods.

    I don't necessarily disagree, but ultimately there is a problem in classifying "fish" in the modern scientific taxonomy system - it has no good phylum to fit in as its a term that's a bit more broad than that, but not broad enough to make for a kingdom.

    Birds are reptiles. Commonly, we wouldn't say so, but they're in the same clade. The avians are closer related to the crocadilians than the crocs are to other reptiles like the squamates - lizards and snakes.

    Yeah - I first hand have seen business majors I work with try to pitch a song from AI as our new marketing jingle. It was neither good, nor catchy for marketing purposes, but business ghouls hear something that sounds close enough to something someone put real effort into and think that's the hard part sorted.
