Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.
Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you're using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.
Okay but if there was a way to pump information into your skull at the same time, would you take one of those pills and spend 1,000 years learning all of the information in the entire world?
I think it was Confucius that said that society is best when the laws are simple and people understand the laws.
I mean what do we need with 5,000-year-old Chinese mysticism when we've got Elon musk shoving metal pellets into your medulla oblongata that can play ads at you in your dreams?
I mean wasn't season 1 episode 1 where we all watched a guy fuck a pig? Like if that wasn't enough to get you to stop then you probably should go ahead and watch the rest of the series.

By the time we can regress bone maturation to preteen ages we will probably have dozens of demihuman archetypes everywhere, from elves, dwarves, aliens, and cat/puppy/wolf/dragon/lizard girls/boys (and everything in between) to sift through, so the odd "900 year old dragon in the form of a 10 year old girl" archetype will be passe.
Might be smarter to require something obvious to be changed with your age/genetics to clearly identify you. More realistically, there will probably be some sort of bio-identifier that can clearly identify who the person is after being changed, like a qr code tattoo or something.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Everything turns to shit whenever a metric becomes a goal, and multiply that by Infinity whenever that goal involves making money.
Ads are the worst thing about the internet. There's not an option to escape them under any circumstances and when you use things like adblock people crawl out of the woodwork to tell you how you're stealing money from people.
I'm sorry, I'm paying for the service of accessing the internet. How I do so should be my decision and not somebody else's under any circumstances, so long as I am not breaking the law.
I found a few old phones from my family. II cleaned them, installed LineageOS and rooted most of them. On one I installed postmarketOS, one is still stock Android and one is lets say bricked (after installing lineagesos it stay on boot logo for ever, before that I installed lineageos and nethunter on it).

If your old phone has a removable battery, you can sometimes replace them with an appropriate capacitor.
That will eliminate spicy pillows from the mix but also eliminate battery backup, so if your power goes out you will need to manually turn them back on.
My mom was a nurse who worked in geriatrics and so one day she came home from work and cooked us a big plate of spaghetti and started telling us about how elderly people with dementia would have no control over their body and would snot on their hands and then rub it on the the handrails in the hallway.
She should talk about how she kept on over and over again touching bare-handed massive piles of gooey green and brown snot while we're all sitting around the dinner table trying to eat spaghetti.
Honestly, fuck Microsoft, I fucking hate their user abusive practices, but I feel like that would be illegal to some degree or at least actionable and some sort of way.
Do you have any evidence that they are collecting that much data in telemetry?
Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years....
I bought a Samsung mono laser and printed approximately 400 pages on it before the fusor broke and would cost more than the entire printer did to replace.
I was past the 6-month warranty as well so I chucked it and bought a $10 Brother MFC-7860dw monoprinter from the thrift store that printed in the store.
It turned out that it would jam like the grateful Dead if it printed more than one page though.
Apparently that is a common issue with them and inside of the printer there is a small cork pad that gets twisted down and hits every time it picks up a new sheet of paper and the cork had gotten sticky somehow.
The fix for this incredibly complicated and delicate procedure is to open one side of the printer and take a piece of Scotch tape and cover over that tiny cork pad.
I did that 7 years ago and it still prints perfectly today.
I think we are a lot better at pretending that people don't kill each other often and for little reason than people from 1,000 years ago.
It's almost as if the reason it was made into one of the ten commandments was that people did it so much that the leaders at the time felt they needed to try to put a stop to it.
Probably the same thing with lying and lusting after your friend's wives and properties. In lieu of a government and system strong enough to protect you, you would have to defend yourself against your stronger or better armed neighbors taking everything they want from you, including your life.
Jokes aside, I have baked my bacon and it works really well for preparing an awful lot of bacon very quickly.
Once you do that, you have bacon that you can quickly microwave and slap on a sandwich, plus you can easily collect all of the grease for making gravies or general cooking purposes if you so desire.
Not even that. Omnipotence means that you can both make something impossible for yourself and still be able to do it. Paradoxes have nothing on omnipotence.
I got really lucky. The first adult song that ever grabbed to me was Kansas's Carry On My wayward son.
I had never heard it before and on a family road trip to Florida I got to buy a cassette and I saw the art and I thought it looked good so I bought it and popped it into my little cassette player and I'm just writing down the road bored as hell my brother and sister picking on me.
All of a sudden "Carry on my wayward son" came on and my little preteen mind was completely blown.
