If you are going to have casual sex, you still need to wear a condom, what are you talking about? The lack of sex education in this thread is incredible.

I mean, that's what I do, do you think that's feasible for everyone? No. Not everyone is willing to go through that much hassle.

There's no need for a "winner", why are people so fixated that it has to be one or the other?

All the technologies we have are not exclusive, having more options is always better when it comes to energy.

This "winning" debate has to stop. There's no gas vs diesel vs natural gas winner... There is no hydro, wind, PV winner.... They all can coexist just fine.

There is a place for hydrogen fuel, and there's a place for battery vehicles.

Stop debating this like they are football teams.

How is acknowledging a bad connection by your ISP contrarian? Are you saying his problems do not exist?

That reminds me of a discussion with someone who thought Hispanics can't be white, I was like, have you ever seen seen a Spaniard?

I feel you... some machines in my previous lab were running on windows 98.

Wait, do you guys still use optical disc drives on pc? What year is it? 2000?

Although that's true, it's still an issue. I don't think anyone is blaming Linux for this, but the issue is still there.

I've never had a finger print reader working on Linux.

They probably mean that young people now is drinking less that previous generations. Sure, we have known for a while that alcohol is bad, but only recently it has been seen as "why would you drink it?", And it's falling out as social engager.

Saying that, I still drink, I know it's not great for my health, but I usually have a good time with it, and it helps with my introvert Ness.

But that's the thing, it's not dumb it down, it's better design for average user. Linux is not going get to mass adoption if fresh from install you have to run several commands to make your audio/game/camera work. Sure, it might be fixable with a single command, but your average user won't know which, and won't know how to search for it on Google.

Linux based OS like android got mass adopted because you don't even need to open a shell once and your whole hardware works out of the shelf. That's not the experience with Linux.

I'll do it for free if all expenses are paid for me to go to the Olympics. I look like a fool every day, one more day won't make a difference.

With some cables sometimes quality is higher with price though. I prefer a good 5 USD usb cable than a shitty one that breaks at the joint after a few days of use.

Same with audio cables for guitars, sound is probably not going to suffer (although really long cables can have some issues), but wear damage is definitely noticeable for the very cheap ones.
