Visa systems were down one day for me when I needed gas, and I decided then to always have at least two different types just in case (it also helps with other issues as I tend of get chip malfunction errors and stuff)

That note was very interesting to me, because there’s also Pulsar which is what I have been trying out, which also relates to Atom. I’m not sure if “fork” is the right word as I don’t know the complete history, but installing packages uses atom packages / github sources so it’s fairly similar. I wonder what led to this other one
The reference does seem to indicate teabags, but mentions it a lot along side carbonated drinks (it also mentions “milk tea”, but I’m not sure what it means by that)
Furthermore, there is evidence proving the contamination of MPs in teabags and it has been clarified that bottle-production and filling processes could contribute to the existence of MPs in drinks
I’m not sure what a good source is, but I do remember a while back articles about those pyramid teabags containing microplastics.
Edit: I guess to jump to the source of the reference of this article, this is the report on MPs in tea
Any reason MATE over Xcfe? Just curious if the performance is close or MATE is better at things, not trying to question your decisions. I have a >9 year old PC at this point and installed Cinnamon on it but was finding it a bit laggy. I tried out the other editions but am sticking with LMDE for now, but sort of feel like I don’t really need nice animations, I just need more CPU for faster compile times, haha
