Wheat is a plant. If wheat was a vegetable we wouldn’t need the distinction between plant and vegetable.

Y’all are going to hate this, but IMO a more viable solution is a subscription model. The more reliable an appliance is, the less you spend on it in the long run, so less profit for the manufacturer. With a subscription, the more reliable they make it, the more profit they get. Then you just need sufficient competition to keep the subscription prices low.

That coin is clever because some people would rather keep the coin and the coin probably costs less to make than the Big Mac.

It does have to do with different drugs in some cases. Users in a k-hole (high on ketamine) tend to lean back.
- Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole. 1 month ago:
That’s the funny thing about Venezuela. The U.S. criticized Chavez’s election victories. So Chavez put in some of the best election infrastructure in the world. And because of that, it was abundantly clear that Maduro rigged his election.

In political science, we determine the opinion of a populace using something called elections, and well, you can see how that went…

Someone’s running a pump and dump scheme on Myrrh. Once that bubble pops they just transition to Frankincense like it never happened.

You got a little overzealous with the 9’s there. 10% of taxpayers itemize.

- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 2 months ago:
I ran pi-hole on my NAS. Then I pointed my router at it to make it the DNS for my whole network. The only problem was it would create issues when I had a power outage. If things didn’t start up with the right timing they would get wonky and certain devices would report as not having Internet.
That’s why I bought an OpenWRT One so I could install an equivalent to pi-hole on in directly. Though I hit a snag with that and don’t currently have that running.
I haven’t noticed much of a difference without the pi-hole running (my NAS is dead right now). I think some of my devices had their own DNS settings so they weren’t using the config from the router.

Even better, you can create a “Hybrid PDF” which embeds a second copy of the file in ODT format inside the PDF. This makes it re-editable.
Word supports ODT but it doesn’t support reading these ODT files embedded in PDFs though.

- Comment on Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough 2 months ago:
The point of the Kin was that it was supposed to create a new service tier in between dumb phones and smart phones with expensive plans. At the time phones came with 2 year contracts that subsidized the cost of the phone. A basic plan came with $175 worth of subsidy which covered a dumb phone. If you added $30/month for unlimited data, you would get $350 off the the up front cost of a smart phone.
Microsoft’s idea was that parents didn’t want to pay that much for a smart phone for their teens. But a teen would get plenty of benefit for a something in between which would allow them to use a non SMS messaging service and browse social media. Plus it had a keyboard.
It’s still Verizon’s fault. But it wasn’t lack of promotion. The Kin didn’t make sense without the accompanying plan.
