It’s the first time I drive one. In my private life I drive either hatchbacks or station wagons (because dogs) which handle and are built very differently.

Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website.

I’ve tried this before. The build in the picture is wasteful of energy and unsafe.
This is cheap to make, can be easily taken down, and if instead of tea candles bigger candles are used it can heat the pot enough to radiate some perceptible heat. It also makes for a good conversation starter.
But would I place all my bets on this? No, not really. It should be considered a dire last resort, for a very small room, in an extreme situation.
Selective breeding increases the frequency of a given set of genes, already present in a species, in order to better manifest specific, more advantageous - either nature or human chosen - traits.
Random mutations can occur when biological reproduction happens but unless extreme and radical - which often prove fatal for the offspring - are not relevant for the species in the immediate.
These principles are applicable to both plants and animals.
Now grafting takes a part of one plant - usually a small branch - uses another plant to provide the root system - usually something that grows much faster than the graft - and this process multiplies asexually the plant from which the branch was oroginally cut. No genes are carried over between the two plants.
This is valid to get a bunch of trees out of a single one in a very short time but it will not introduce new genes into the crop.
Quince trees are often used as root stock to graft other trees, like pear and apple. If the seeds from those grafted trees were to be sprouted, planted and nurtured to maturity, apples or pears would grow but of completely new varieties. The quince trees used to provide the root for grafting would provide zero genes to the new varieties.
Can you expand on why you consider grafting as a tool for genetic manipulation?

These pronouns adress the other person directly but the moment I have to ask or say something connected to said person I have to start using gendered words
And numbers can be gendered.
Two girls, two boys.
Duas raparigas, dois rapazes.
And things only get weirder from this point forward. It is possible to have a somewhat genderless conversation but it requires a good degree of effort and it is not a common form of speech.

Fresh onions, tomato and iceberg salad on almost every burger. Too much pickles, unfortunately.
But I would be a very poor host if I was to receive you in my country and treat you with McD. That is food you get to break the norm, not something you have daily, unless you are planning for a premature demise of your tasting buds.
I worked closely with an energy company for some time and enjoyed talking with the field maintenace personell and soon discovered that fable of sensible electronics on the power is just that.
Most of the power relies on hardware to control, distribute and protect the grid. And I mean old school hardware, not electronics.
The most electronic dependent part of the grid here is essentially on the end of the line, inside consumers homes, to measure and control the energy delivered and consumed.
Wild fires are more of a menace to power lines and energy distribution than thunderstorms or other massive energy discharges.
