I mean, some things are just fine when they are the cheapest?

Your hardware has to have support for Linux, not the other way around.

Windows is not a serious OS anymore.

Yeah, Reddit was like that about a decade or more ago.

The current level of bot activity there is actually insane.

Temple, power weapons, License to Kill

Spent hours playing this on some demo disk.

Any hassle they can create to manufacture a reason to deny coverage.

It’s not “beyond belief” it’s disgustingly evil.

Yes, but it’s almost certainly a multitude less electricity than bitcoin.

You haven’t lived until some needs a knife to open something on christmas and 5 of the 6 adult males in your family are just standing there holding their pockets knives for you to choose from.

Plenty of independent coffee shops sell Lotus energy drinks for this exact reason.

To add to all this, if most of your customers are seriously there to taste their flavored syrups and milk of their favorite drink, you wouldn’t want to alter or even ruin that with unexpected, unique coffee flavors.

I know an adult care nurse, she told me “everyone wipes their ass differently and they’re all convinced their way is the only way.”

Sino-Asian countries only drink hot drinks for similar reasons…

He just means “feature phone”

Dark Roasted coffee is the only way Starbucks can be Starbucks.

Lighter-roasted coffee emphasizes origin flavors and i agree with you --generally tastes better and is more interesting.

But you can’t sell coffee like that in tens of thousands of coffee shops and have it remotely consistent.

Coffee growing from the same plot but on one side of a hill will taste different from the other side due to getting different quantities of sunlight. Complex origin flavors will always be the domain of small specialty coffee shops.

Starbucks has McDonalds-like consistency serving millions of customers a day and that’s only because they emphasize the flavors they can get consistently–roast flavors.

TL;DR The bigger the chain, the darker you have to roast. That’s just how coffee works.

So, research shows that everyone’s voice inside their head, no matter who they are or where they’re at, is profoundly negative.

Also, you don’t have to believe it–which is oversimplifying, but that’s the jist of it.

It’s not at all unusual.

The sword was a sidearm. It was a trusty companion you had on you everyday to demonstrate your wealth and power and to be drawn in your defense if need be.

When it was time for battle, your sword would still be at your side, but in your hands would be some sort of polearm or perhaps an axe.

Also, commonly used but often forgotten about is a falchion. It was a sidearm that looked like a sword but did not require all the training in swordsmanship to be effective. Instead of being balanced like a sword to enhance the point control, a falchion was point heavy (like a machete) and swung like a hatchet.

Because linux runs on an incredible amount of platforms with an incredible amount of hardware targets and platform goals.

It runs on every supercomputer and every raspberry pi and every android phone, as well as most web servers and almost every steamdeck.

Use cases are so dramatically different there will always be multiple distributions with their own needs for package managers.

Windows is already dead.

Just a matter of time until people realize they’re on a dead platform.
