While you're there, visit the Big Lebowski bar.

"This part of the Crown corporation is profitable on its own, we should sell it off!"

"Why are we spending so much money to subsidize this Crown corporation!? We should sell it off!"

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.

I guess English isn't a language in the same way that male isn't a gender and white isn't a race and hetero isn't an orientation.

Great, but can you mass produce them.

oh man. I played SO much KSP. I think my lifelong love of indie games partly stems from being a Linux user: I tried things I wouldn't otherwise have tried. Factorio, as well, was a Linux game right out of the box. SNES and NES emulators.

Sure, a lot of the latest and greatest corporate shiny didn't work (or not without caveats) but there were tons of perfectly good games.

What is 'viability'? Like, if viability is this Holy Grail state where everything works perfectly, we're setting ourselves up for failure.

LaserJet 4 was a tank. Everything since has been various flavours of mediocre. Buy Brother.

There will almost certainly be a period where people are trying to dump their gas vehicles, selling them way below market, which will make them attractive to the less wealthy, which will also very much increase the temptation for governments to subsidize gas infrastructure. :(

That will further increase the price pressure on gas vehicles, they'll be screwed by the new cheap EVs AND the cheap used gas market.

Give it a few years. EVs are inherently cheaper to manufacture, and economies of scale are kicking in like crazy now. "Lol" is not exactly a great response to that basic fact.

Many places support MacOS as well, so it would only be a third additional toolset. Plus, there's a ton of overlap between toolchains, which reduces the overhead further. If you're supporting enterprise MacOS, you're probably using Foreman, JAMF, or Puppet with Active Directory.

Not to mention, a lot of places already have Linux servers, so the configuration management toolchains and expertise may already exist in a given organization, unless they're absolutely pathologically mired in the Windows ecosystem. Which, granted, is a lot of places, but you're making it sound far harder than it would be in a real world situation.

The ability to shoot yourself in the foot is great, but you have to remember that Unix is a gleeful imp holding a monkey paw and makes book on the side with his friend the evil genie.

Here's a shotgun, go bonkers. Foot is that way. Don't forget to sudo.

I'd argue the 'young' though. Polls I've seen, seem to show a huge 30-40 demographic.
