If I do an amazing job and the company ships another 10k widgets, I don't see an extra dime.

Cat is reminding you that if the meat-can isn't opened, the meat can-opener is an option.

I don't know about elsewhere but the local Salish peoples would shear specially bred dogs with very light fur. Something like Samoyed fur, but more fine. They're probably extinct now.

I wonder if the ecology is out of balance, leading to larger mosquito populations than people would have seen a few thousand years ago. If the bird and bat population were five times, ten times larger, or if the swamps were less foul from plants adapted to the area (instead of invasives), maybe that would have made the problem less severe.

That's a lot worse than I thought it would be. Yikes. That's a good reason to wear a few extra layers. And maybe some netting. And maybe acquire a flamethrower.

Thank goodness for distro repositories with somewhat-vetted software.

For sure. I make pesto sometimes with dandelion leaves, olive oil, and walnuts. Any oil you like the flavour of, any bitter green, any nut. Garlic, however, is mandatory.

Introduce yourself, if you feel comfortable doing so. This will probably be a small group for the foreseeable future, so we might as well get to know one other.
