wake me up when october ends

If you're in the UK or I expect EU, I imagine if it's due to oxidation you can get it replaced even on an expired warranty as it's a defect which was known to either you or intel before the warranty expired, and a manufacturing defect rather than breaking from use, so intel are pretty much in a corner about having sold you faulty shit

Except Mali and China's crossing is pure fiction and Polynesia's is plausible but missing a lot of evidence you'd expect to find

In Europe it's not uncommon, Apple only really have a monopoly in the US

And free on PlayStation at the time, but sony thought it was so good they'd copy it

Many places including Japan allow foreigners to register and bring a reasonable supply (3 months or so?) of most drugs that are illegal there but legal in their home country with a valid prescription (most of Europe and North America, Japan & Singapore all do), and the places that don't let you register them to bring them legally often let you bribe your way out even if you are discovered with them (eg Uzbekistan/Uganda/whatever)

It makes sense for Microsoft to support Linux though...

They tried their hardest to kill Linux under Steve Ballmer but now they're moving (or in reality have moved) to a model where Xbox and cloud are their main income-generating industries. The former is unrelated to Windows/Linux and the latter is frankly more dependant on Linux than it is on Windows - Microsoft have been supportive of Linux through Azure for years now and it doesn't exactly make sense for them to be developing two different operating systems, so it's not far fetched to imagine they'll drop ~~DOS~~ NT as a backend for windows entirely in the future and move to a Linux backend, with Windows just being a closed source DM with tracking etc added on.

This covers embrace & extend, but I don't think the extinguish part makes sense - sure they may add features the FOSS community disagree with, but at worst we're in a similar position to where we are now with things being released separately for Linux and Windows

The thing that picks people up could even have metal wheels as it follows a fixed route, and run on metal roads

1000 bugs isn't that big, especially when it's the same bug surfacing in different ways or bugs you either barely notice or look past (but do notice, eg an alignment issue on the ui)

Who uses RARs who doesn't use 7z though?

I think using anything other than deflate zip for things like sending to teachers or whatever isn't very wise, and if you're not then you won't need to apologise anyway

River x is the standard form (river ganges, river thames, river nile) it's only really when a river is named after an existing place that it's different (LA river, Chicago river), where the location is used as an adjective. The same applies to oceans and seas generally, where they're named relative to an existing place or concept and so the adjective comes before, rather than the name coming after.

Thing is, GDPR also applies in the UK and CCPA applies in California where Threads is active so legally they have to delete your profile regardless of what they say in their FAQ
