Exactly. And then they complain when you obsess about this book series and don’t react to conversation attempts.

Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.

I didn’t mean they only last 2 years but battery degradation is a pretty common and known thing.

By a quick search I didn’t find any claim of storage battery lifetimes outside of 10-15 years, so there doesn’t seem to be a breakthrough in tech I wasn’t aware of. 15 years is hardly the lifetime of a house, so you certainly don’t “buy only once”.

Solar panels also don’t work indefinitely but their efficiency degradation is more on par with the lifetime of major parts of the building, like the roof itself.

What? Have you ever had a battery powered device for longer than 2 years?

Maybe because the consensual one isn’t usually mind-blowing?

Are you telling me I installed Arch (btw) for no reason??

Scam and speculation are the only use cases after all.

Of course it’ll crash. Saying it’s imminent though suggests someone needs to exercise their shorts.

Well, you know how cyclists complain about cars blocking or speeding on their parts of the street? Same goes for pedestrians and cyclists because people being assholes isn’t dependent on their type of vehicle. That’s why you have to slow down even bikes sometimes.

And you’re jumping to conclusions. If it’s even remotely possible my date is underage I’m out. Even if old enough I’m not into people looking like children.

trying to have sex, and the guy/girl looks like underage

No further questions, your honor.

So, you’re the kinda guy asking for ID on a first date?

Gotcha. We’re almost twice as many.

Longer ago than the others though. And there hasn’t been a single version of Windows that didn’t make me bite my desk. Windows 95 jammed itself up so often that my friends and I kept a fresh install in a separate directory to at least skip installation of the when setting it up from scratch.

Good default, I’m of the same opinion, in general. We should only restrict entry age if simple education isn’t enough - as can be seen by teen suicide rates rising in parallel with the spread of social media.

Sugar isn’t restricted but alcohol and tobacco are. Why is that? Because there’s a difference in addictiveness and possible harm done.

No, bullying isn’t the only danger. Addiction is another and that’s just as bad here as for any other feed-based system. Legal addictive substances also have an entry age of at least 16, usually higher.

Traditional media aren’t associated with bullying and suicide risk. Social media are.

Teens have always bullied, so it’s hardly a surprise or preventable on social media. It implies that the victim cannot escape from it though and at least leave it at school. So moving entry age to a level, bullying isn’t as bad is a good idea in my book.

Oh yeah? Care to share some links for that claim? Since Wikipedia has a whole article about Hitler being vegetarian. Apparently, he wasn’t super strict about it but he identified as one and the article also quotes newspaper articles of the time. I’d assume “anti-vegetarian propaganda” is a more modern thing.

He was vegetarian (loaded topic, I know but probably gets more support than 20%) and loved dogs, for example.

Ha, sure sounds like it. But you had to wait also before there were only answering machines. Hotlines have always been awful.
