I think they swapped out thumb sticks and fans at some point before OLED? It wasn't a major thing.

That's only some types of figs and one type of tiny wasp. Most figs we eat are virgin fruit.

If it's what I think it is, cactus leather is more polyurethane than prickly pear. I don't really mind there being plastic in it, like as a glue or binder, but if it's not mostly plants it shouldn't be marketed like it is.

The leather from the article is all mushroom but a terrible material for now.

There's a lot more variation in fake leathers than in the real stuff, whether it's plants or petroleum. Anecdotal and not a one to one comparison, but I've had (plastic) vegan boots last a bit longer than the leather ones before it. My cork wallet was also better than cheap leather.

Move New Years back to march 1st, then the Latin roots will be accurate again.

That's a feature supporters of imperial thinks it has. Even if imperial/some special third option is better for guessing, the difference has to be big enough that it's worth the hassle of having multiple systems or converting everyone again. If it's not worth having two systems but it is worth converting everything , then you still have to keep or prove that it's worth losing the conveniences of metric like 1 km = 1000 m , 1 L of water weighing 1 kg , water freezing and boiling at 0 and 100 °C

Yes, I'm more of a novice, but have already tried multiple pattern systems as well. An expensive digital one with loads of measurements superficially similar to this. Also Luterloh system with radial coordinates, but that just sizes you from one measurement.

Luterloh gave me an oddly sloped buttseam. I always have to lengthen sleeves, the custom sized does do that for me, but I also still had to adjust other stuff. Different from a commercial pattern but do still have to do some adjusting.

As for the printing, it's the same as every other digital pattern. You either tape a whole bunch of A4 or Letter sized paper, or print in A1 or A0 roll. Freesewing is actually good at this, you can rearrange the pieces to fit whatever paper you will print on before saving as pdf.

Consider going to a tailor.

It's going to have some metadata to that effect yes, like a file index or number of parts or total extracted file size. I don't know the details, I've used them I haven't read the spec. rar is Rarlab's proprietary format so there might not even be a public spec.
They're normally all the same size except for the last part, so it's not that file 1 is just an index.

Yes, it asks for the next part if it's not in the same folder with the same name, doesn't really make a difference what it's stored on. Multipart zip and tar also exist.

Multipart archives still exist. They're now used for file sharing websites that have a maximum file size. Before that they were for unreliable p2p networks, so you didn't lose the parts you'd already downloaded when your peer goes offline. Originally it was to fit something big on multiple cd-roms or floppies.

Opening somthing.rar also reads the data in somthing.r01 through somthing.r15 etc

For fast easy machine single-serve, get a machine that takes beans. They cost about three pod-machines but they're worth it. The pod-machines are cheaper because they come with vendor lock-in for the pods, and they just profit more on those instead.

Yes, suspended weights, also spinning flywheels, hot salt, hot sand
There's options besides pumped hydro, hydrogen and batteries
