First, don’t tell me that the answer is just to “not bottle things up”, because that’s objectively incorrect too.

Well, no, it's not objectively incorrect. I get the sense that the main problem you have is communicating negative emotions without being overly confrontational or acerbic about it. My experience is that it's very possible to tell someone you're unhappy about something without making a major deal out of it.

Also, I'm curious about how often you find yourself in the situation we're taking about. Everybody had occasions where they have to vent frustrating, but if that's a super frequency occurrence, there might be something else going on. Sometimes it should be enough to take a deep breath, recognize that the issue is minor, and let it go.

That is both sad and likely accurate.

Maybe he's a vibe journalist.

That quote really is the problematic part. The part about switches is fine - it's an attempt to explain tech to a "normie." But for a tech writer to ever say it's not clear why they settled on 256 is worse than embarrassing. They had to be corrected by tweets.

Anyone whose ever had an intro to computers class has had a computing professional explain computers using simple language and analogies. That's the way this kind of thing should work. It sounds like this author has no more clue about computing than the target audience, which isn't going to work out well for the reader.

I was there during that time. Very nostalgic.

When they said he was forming one, I assumed it would be that

Exactly. But if it was on both planets, that might indicate that it's pretty ubiquitous.

If we do determine that Mars never hosted even tiny micro-organisms during its watery times, that would indicate it is difficult to kick-start life across the universe.

But if we discover proof of ancient life, that would "basically be telling us the origin of life is easy on a planetary scale," Kite said.

Two planets in one tiny part of one insignificant galaxy. The second statement seems pretty clearly true, but not the first. With a sample size of two out of the incomprehensibly large number of planets, I don't think you can come to many conclusions if one of them doesn't have life.

Not confused about what it is, but I am confused about why it's in this community

Some have a removable cover that you take off and wash. The ones that don't I think are generally surface wash only, but all should have a tag with instructions someplace.
