I see it as: mv is just renaming a file, in this case a directory file, with a different full name (path)

I learned the proper meaning of tar flags a long time ago, but then I accidentally saw a post somewhere describing “czf” and “xzf” as acronyms in german accent: “Create Ze File!” and “Xtract Ze File!” and now everytime I use tar in the simpler ways I hear in my head a german voice shouting these words as I type the flags.

We were looking at returning bees who were not let in by the guard bees because they were not needed anymore.

If you dip the nib directly into the ink, there will be too much ink at the tip of the nib, which makes it hard to do hairlines or thin strokes. The trick is to fill the reservoir or nib further up with a small brush.

The story begins with a man doing the things described in the picture. He is puzzled and becomes interested in finding out more about it. His wife is not very happy about it. It’s easy to get lost in a new hobby. Other people have written their opinions on the strange house, and those are included.
