openSUSE Tumbleweed is the rolling release, where you may have dependency decisions to make during regular updates. Updates must be done in the terminal.

The more beginner friendly version is openSUSE Leap. That has a longer release cycle, and you use the Discover interface (or yeast, or zypper in the terminal) to update.

Either is pretty friendly. Both have recent KDE.

Seriously. Nana’s gonna nana.

I also wonder how closely they can be dated. +/- 100 years is a long time and I would expect that’s a smaller interval than provided by their dating methods.

Still, Neanderthal dinner parties are nice to imagine.

Yes! The method in that video is exactly what I meant by #6.

I’ve seen a few ways for chopped onion. Chopped meaning that we want reasonably small consistent size pieces.

1. Root on, halved through the N & S poles, one half laid flat, vertical N/S cuts, leaving connection to root intact, cuts parallel to table almost to root, latitude cuts moving to the root end. Then a final cleanup chop of the large pieces from the root end.

2. Same as 1 but no parallel to table cuts. More cleanup chop at the end.

3. Same as 1 but radial longitudinal cuts instead of vertical.

4. Same as 2 but radial longitudinal cuts instead of vertical.

5. Same as 1 but without halving the onion first. Done in the hand.

6. Same as 4 but without halving the onion first. Done in the hand.

7. Same as 4 but root off before halving.

8. Same as 7 but latitude cuts before radial.

9. Same as 8 but latitude slices laid flat before radial cuts.

10. Same as 7 but root off after halving.

11. Same as 8 but root off after halving.

12. Nana method, higgledy piggledy paring knife action in the hand.

Classical western method is 1. Both 2 and 4 are very common in restaurant settings in my experience. I like method 8. Any other way feels either too fiddly or too sloppy. But I have seen each of these in action.

This appears to be a 14500 lithium ion cell (same physical size as AA), putting out 3.7v for a device like this flashlight that supports it. No voltage step down, just charging circuitry on-board.
