Actually that does have a confusing name: Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. WIMPs. Yes, really.
It’s a common misconception that Dark Matter = WIMPs because it’s the leading theory right now. Dark Matter really just means “whatever happens to be the cause of certain cosmological measurement discrepancies” even if that cause isn’t in any way “matter” at all. It’s a very misleading name.
Accepting that the reality of a story is as described. Magic is real? Sure. FTL? Sure. The colour red makes you fart? Yeah why not? For the sake of the story, I Believe.
BUT the term often gets hijacked by rabid fans trying to justify plot holes, self-contradictions, and nonsensical gobilygook. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t mean I should also suspend all semblance of reason, unless of course there’s a clearly established in-universe justification for doing so.
If you include the comics as cannon, Protoman is still alive in 21XX and goes by “Prometheus”

This is the comment I needed. You’ve convinced me.
I think you’re confusing AppleTalk with AppleShare. AFP runs fine over TCP/IP and has since way back in the System 6 days.
It’s been a few years so I don’t remember exactly, but basically I used to use ControllerMate (like autohotkey but not awful) and when it died I went in search of other nodal programming tools. Never found a good replacement for CM, but node-red is amazing in its own way.
That’s it. No home assistant or equivalent. Automation and other rules are in node-red. Manual control is through Siri via the virtual HomeKit devices.
As for devices, it’s mostly just the lights, thermostats, and a weather station, though I also control a fan and the TV* via a harmony hub and am thinking about getting a smart plug for my dehumidifier.
*getting the fake HomeKit TV to work right in node-red was more trouble than everything else put together :(
Been pronouncing it that way since Idea Channel :)

Fake hoods have a vent on the front to helpfully blow the steam and fumes back into your face. This doesn’t appear to have that, so it’s probably real.
I’m neither so take this with a cup of salt:
Originally they were the same. Pan (and some others) faded from use and was largely forgotten.
When it first came back into use, there was a lot of “you’re attracted to both genders; we’re attracted to all genders” but this got a lot of pushback as being bi-phobic because it paints bisexuals as being transphobic (although if you really think about it, the accusation that this is transphobic is itself transphobic as it implies trans people are not included in “both genders”. Perhaps enby-phobic would have been a more appropriate accusation).
These days the generally accepted distinction is that pansexuals are attracted to people regardless of gender, as in gender plays no part, as opposed to bisexuals who may (or may not) be attracted differently to different genders.
Sort of, but you have to either mess with self-signing and reinstalling weekly, or trusting a 3rd party with mobile device management. Not great options.

Bittorrent opens a ton of simultaneous connections that can overwhelm the pos router supplied by some ISPs. If that’s your issue, lowering the max # of connections could not only clear it up but also increase your download speed

I’ve heard it’s because your brain thinks (somewhat correctly) that you can’t breathe and releases “clear that clog right now” chemicals.
Holding your breath until you almost pass out works for the same reason, but I don’t recommend it.
I think the idea is to build a habit of checking, so you don’t even need to have that “hold on, am I dreaming?” moment. You just habitually do that thing you always do, and then “oh it seems I’m dreaming. I didn’t notice”
