Here is a console command that may be useful to you for large scale terraforming.

Yes, of course Minecraft is held to a higher standard than modders. They have Microsoft money and professional programmers, and they've been coding this game for the past one and a half decades which is an amazing length of time.
Look, I've been playing long enough to remember when dogs showed up. When jungles were added just a year after Beta concluded, we were all in awe. New huge trees with different wood! Vines all over everything! Melons! Sunsets! Three new mobs! There was tons of new content, mechanics, and features to explore. And they kept releasing new biomes, mechanics, and features, creating what we all recognize as Minecraft today.
However, at some point during their acquisition, this really slowed down. Instead of getting whole new biomes and mechanics, they started teasing us with a handful of features modders had been doing for years. We already had Ender Chests, and they could be shared across the server with a three-digit code, and they could store liquids or be made into backpacks. We already had rabbits, and squirrels, and songbirds in the Twilight Forest. We already had integrated redstone and kids were learning how to make complex circuits with it. Teasing us with three mobs we might see one of in a year or two is a real letdown.
My point is, Mojang has more resources than they've ever had, more subscribers than any other game ever, and yet they act like they're God's gift to gamers when they actually perform more poorly than they did 12 years ago. As a player from the very beginning, I know better, and I find this behavior pedantic and insulting. The only reason I still play at all is because college students are still making featureful content over spring break that makes it a whole new adventure again.
We have some resources to recycle plastic bags and film here in Seattle, but it's sta hassle to collect and take to a participating facility, and how much of it gets thrown away?
We were supposed to have a plastic bag ban, but what really happened is all the stores just switched to "reusable" plastic bags which are the same design as before but now they're like 5mil thick. So now instead of free thin bags that I line the bathroom trash can with, I pay 5 cents for a thick one (whether I want it or not in many cases) and there are probably a lot of thick "reusable" bags just getting thrown away, or in the bushes.
I find it very frustrating having a life partner who doesn't want to investigate their ND, especially the executive dysfunction. There are so many resources that would make both our lives easier!
I miss Dynmap, I used to host it on a subdomain for my friends to play and explore.
Gerrymandering
This is exactly the kind of thing cops are supposed to be good at. He's now been on the run for over a week?
Thank you, that is a rabbit hole I am excited to investigate further!
I used to use TT before I found out that my money was being spent on lobbying for more complicated taxes.
Now I use Free Tax USA. I used to pay upwards of $80 to file for myself and my businesses and now it's free. I give them $25 just because I want to support them, but I don't have to.
What about allowing mobs to spawn in another dimension? Either the Nether and End or a second Overworld? It should be straightforward to get some code that lets you set difficulty per-dimension.
Even a shitty fabric mask will reduce the risk substantially, if worn correctly.

My household has not bought anything from them since before the pandemic. Unfortunately, this means relying on Walmart, which isn't much better, but at least they get toilet breaks.
I think there may be some genetic variation. I am pretty weak when it comes to spicy food but some kinds I seem to be immune to, for example those hot M&Ms I cannot taste but my friends did.
The worst offenders are the ones who make their mobile site impossible to use so you will download the app. Unmovable banners, incorrectly sized floating menus, and features unnecessarily locked out unless you switch to Desktop mode or use the app. Guess what, I'm definitely not installing it now!
I am willing to accept the absolute worst of humanity on the internet, because we can also have so many amazing things that weren't previously possible.
Accessibility of information to the masses is incredibly important. Isolated populations can learn about the bigger world, get help, and share their experiences. Friends and families can stay connected. People can work together from anywhere, and create value as a team in ways that weren't previously possible. When I was a kid it was just a dream, and now we are living it.
Maybe I'm a curmudgeon, but I hate using "apps" on my desktop machine. They're always designed to be friendly for touch interface and smaller screen size, and are terrible to use on my 30" monitor with a 1/8" cursor. I just want my menu bar, toolbar on the left, and status on the bottom, please and thank you.
I identify with your sentiment so much. Forced to spend the first quarter of my life absorbing questionable curriculum that ultimately didn't prepare me for adulthood, then agree to unforgivable debt, for what?
For many students, Hess said, the point of an expensive college education is not to gain practical job skills. “It’s just a really expensive toll that lets you jump the queue and get the good jobs.”
The current status of college in America is a scam. It's designed to uplift the upper class and ruin lives of the lower classes to discourage future generations from trying.
Chetty and Friedman and Deming — all of whom work at Ivy League universities — put it starkly: “We conclude that highly selective private colleges currently amplify the persistence of privilege across generations.”
It's gatekeeping.
You could put some collectors in there for the loot when they inevitably drown, so they have to swim to get their loot back too!
