That's a rotating spindle, which indeed can catch a loose thread and reel it in. An oscillating cuter moves back and forth, so it unrolls just as much as it rolls, with no net pull.
And if the oscillation strokes are short enough it can saw rigid material while just vibrating jiggly flesh (this is how the saws used for cutting off casts work). Though cardboard is also pretty floppy, so the mechanism here is probably different (mostly the puck guard keeping fingers out)

> After high school, Alexandria attended Boston University, and graduated with degrees in Economics and International Relations (and tens of thousands of dollars in student loans). During this period she also had the opportunity to intern in the office of the late Senator Ted Kennedy.
She was indeed a congressional intern, but then her father died and family finances got rough, and a year later Ted Kennedy died (August 25, 2009) so she lost the job in his office.
> Following the financial crisis of 2008, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly from cancer. The medical bills and other growing expenses placed their home at risk of foreclosure. Alexandria pulled extra shifts to work as a waitress and bartender to support her family,
Her father seems to have been in the business of home remodeling and renovations. I haven't found any source for "owned multiple brownstones", but a little bit of house-flipping or some rental properties wouldn't be weird to see in that kind of business. Being a landlord with a mortgage doesn't necessarily mean huge wealth, and it it's easy to believe a combination of cancer treatment bills/being unable to work/2008 housing crisis could take a situation like that from comfortable to house-poor to foreclosure on upside-down loans in an awful hurry.
Evolution doesn't plan ahead. Various plants got various random mutations that produce various random chemicals. The ones that were tasty to birds but disgusting to mammals for their seeds spread all over and ended up pretty widespread, so they survived and became common.
The ones that were repulsive to birds but tasty to mammals got eaten by something that grinds up their seed, and so they are extinct. Or, (after humans invented agriculture), possibly got domesticated and became extremely numerous since we'd intentionally save some seeds to plant despite eating the rest.
But there was no awareness and no plan, just chance and history and whatever happened to work.
The original name was .SCCS. I put the SCCS strings in there to save memory. In the early 1980s, the 3B20 computers used to manage the U.S. phone network had a 32MiB memory limit. By 1985 the network had outgrown that memory limit, by just a few kilobytes. So I hacked the C compiler to look for #(*) strings and put them into .SCCS rather than .data. Since .SCCS didn't load into memory by default, I saved just enough to run one more process! Each binary was built from about 2,000 source files, so those strings added up to a significant amount of memory.
This was at Bell Labs Columbus Ohio. Also, I think it was COFF and not ELF. Used System V r2.
My daily driver is a Unihertz Jelly Star: full android 13, but on a 3" screen and it fits in a watch pocket. Probably not for everyone, but I love it and maybe you would too...
It doesn't, actually - all the fetchers are [fixed-output derivations](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/advanced-attrib...) where you specify not only the source, but the hash it is expected to produce. And so the fetched files will be hashed and placed in the nix store under that hash. And therefore subsequent builds using that artifact will use the already-stored artifact and not care if the source is reachable or not. You know that all "external" inputs will be captured by fixed-output derivations, because any derivation that isn't fixed-output is blocked from network access.
For anything built by the hydra CI, this will be retained on central cache.nixos.org. Or you can copy from a store of some machine that has it.
Now, if it's something not on the official cache.nixos.org, and the source is gone, and you've lost (or pruned) your store, you will need to get the file from somewhere and put it back in your store: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/nix-store/ad.... Or you just change the source URL (this won't change the derivations depending on it, because the input being transferred is identified by the hash that is to be delivered, not by the URL it comes from).
Looks like cache.nixos.org may be a long term archive (never evicts artifacts) so that is suitable for long-term reproducible builds for nixos things.
If I'm following correctly, this would prevent issues like builds failing due to the leftpad package getting unpublished, since you'd use the cache/archive instead of failing to fetch the missing package.
> and you've lost (or pruned) your store
It's common for academic code, for example, to be built once, published and then shelved. The "you" in "your store" ends up being different people over time.
Apt generally has this issue too, while Debian keeps old packages around (snapshot archive), third parties origins and other apt based systems may not.
The (beat) "drop" is genre term for a buildup of tension, sharp pause, and then suddenly resuming at greater intensity/tempo. Usually associated with EDM/dubstep.
E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db5f-A-vSyw (drop at 0:45 seconds in the video, thought the countdown to New years that takes up most of the stage should make that obvious anyway)....
Thought it's certainly not a new thing - plenty of classical music has similar moments, e.g. the 3rd movement to Beethoven's 5th symphony: https://youtu.be/xAQFJ1YpFaI?t=279 ("drop" at 5:05 when the horns blast their way in...)
