Reply to comment by confidence_basket in TIL of the Pig War, a border dispute between the US and the UK, around Vancouver Island (present-day Canada) and Washington State. The only casualty was a pig, owned by an Irish farmer, which was shot by an American farmer for eating his potatoes. Both countries deployed military troops. by drak0bsidian
That pig had a family!

Actually it makes me think laptops should have an option to vent heat out of the top if you want to warm your hands. You'd need to redirect it if someone wants to run it with the lid closed, and some type of water catch in case of spills.

That's interesting, I didn't know they pulled back the chlorophyll, thanks for the explanation!
Recently a few maples in our neighbourhood got infested with moths, one had all of its leaves eaten by mid-June. I thought it might kill the tree, but it popped out all of the empty leaf stems and simply regrew (smaller) the leaves. I always wondered what kind of energy expenditure it was for the tree to d o that, now it seems like more than I realized.
