Yep, that's called "topworking"
Most of the big orchards that used to grow Red Delicious are now Gala, Honeycrisp, & Cosmic Crisp. And it's not because they cut the orchards down & started over! They just topworked the new varieties in & pruned out the branches of the older varieties.

Related question. If you have a honey crisp planted, can you cut the top off and graft a new variety on without giving the new variety the problems of honeycrisp?

To put this in perspective, the entire growth of data center energy in the US in 2020-024, combined, is less than half the solar energy China deployed *last year alone.*
American energy policy is crippled by trying to keep petrochem relevant. It's embarrassing, it's ridiculous.

Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.
We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.

this cellular automata rule makes beautiful run-on communal structures with large walled gardens which in turn contain finer walled structures. imagine the various spaces being put to use in different ways by people in this village.

Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.
Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.
Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

Going into a fugue state due to the gas leak in my house and seeing the future were heat pumps and even traditional natural gas heaters are internationally banned as tools of Antifa and everyone is mandated to have a crypto mining heater in their house that runs 24/7 even during the summer.

The immense scale of the lateral moraine walls of the Tasman Glacier at Ball Hutt is hard to fathom. Sadly it also shows the roughly 400ft drop in the height of the glacier here over the past 60 or so years. These walls are incredibly unstable & a pig to scramble up.
