They hold “system binaries” meant for root user. It’s not a hard distinction but many if not most Linux fundamentals have their roots in very early computing, mainframes, Bell and Xerox, and this good idea has been carried into the here&now. Not sure about the provenance of this one, but it makes sense. isn’t /mnt /media different between distros? These aren’t hard and fast rules - some distros choose to keep files elsewhere from the “standard”.

/bin and /usr/bin, one is typically a symbolic link to another - they used to be stored on disks of different size, cost, and speed.

Nothing was ever wrong with calling them “virtual assistants” - at least with them you’re conditioned to have a low bar of expectations. So if it performs past expectations, you’ll be excited, lol.

Scary. We don’t contemplate such nightmares. But I’ve forced myself awake from bad dreams so, can’t be too bad.

I keep hearing it’s impossible to go back to a dream but I’ve on occasion woken up and taken back asleep to the same dream. It’s nice.

That’s what threw me off at first, the bottom is very nice. I think some grime and darkness in places, maybe even corrosion would give it some life. It looks too “new” you know? Almost like a 3d model. I think if you could make the raised portions more defined (with shadows via airbrushing, doesn’t need to be a physical change) it would make the helmet more defined. If you haven’t seen that one Mythbuster detail models, I highly recommend giving Adam Savage’s YouTube channel a watch!

They used the wrong type of bulb. Ordinarily the bulb will be made of a UV blocking glass, and not be quartz based. I think? So it’s not usually the shroud that stops UV except in cases of Halogen bulbs. These would be CFL without any shield except perhaps a cage to protect against things thrown.
