Only problem is streaming services like Amazon that purposefully limit the quality on Linux.
I don't know about the 13, but on the 16 you can update via USB, no OS required. Kind of annoying, but it works.
It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.
Plus, with everything moving to streaming, satellite TV just isn't as relevant. You end up dealing with the same cable companies for internet regardless.
Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.
Yes.
The only added flavor in standard chocolate chip cookie dough is vanilla. Plus the chocolate chips.
Of course people don't usually think about it like that because vanilla is in nearly all baked sweets.
I agree with most of your points, but I don't know, I think I would keep the reverent in the scout law, even if the oath changed.
As a (nonreligious) scout, I always interpreted the reverent more as being respectful than actually religious. More like respecting the beliefs of others, or being respectful and solemn in a cemetery or a war memorial.
There's nothing else in the scout law that conveys that feeling, and I feel like the law would be missing it if it were dropped.
The word "protects" seems almost intentionally misleading here. They are talking about changing zoning requirements to allow for higher density housing, instead of forcing single family home suburbs.
Spotify has almost every song on the planet
Until a contract negotiation with UMG goes south and they lose half the catalog overnight. See what's happening on tiktok right now for a good example of this.
I understand the convenience draw, but I'm not a fan of continually paying for content that can disappear at any moment.
It is, but as far as I understand, you can disable some of it depending on your coreboot/libreboot setup.
Coreboot is open source, but when you build the rom for your machine, you have to pack in closed source blobs for Intel me, and any other proprietary parts of the chip.
I'm not up to date on current happenings with libreboot, but the goal there was to get it working 100% open source, without closed source blobs.

They were buying water from Detroit's water system. In order to save money, they switched to getting it from the nearby river, but they failed to account for how the new water source would interact with their pipes. They didn't treat the new water correctly and it corroded all their old lead pipes, dumping lead into the water and giving everyone lead poisoning.
Even years later, after they switched back to Detroit water, they're still having problems because the damage to the pipes is already done.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not, because Elon actually is doing that.
In both these cases, the payment technically isn't directly for voting for a specific candidate. The payment is for an unrelated action that only someone voting for your candidate would agree with. Either way, still smells bad.
