It isn’t a conscious choice, but something where I’ll identify that I want to do a certain activity when I have free time or I find myself coalescing around a set of interests. I’ll make the choice or find that I’m changing what I picked based on different tasks at work.

I don’t think of the reasons when I make the choice, but I do recognize the trend after I’ve made the choice. It has also helped me recognize when to park certain hobbies that I’m working on because I know I’ll come back to them, but I know my mind needs something else and it is better to let my mind go for something different than to burn out completely on one hobby because I killed the joy I had in it.

It is generally cheaper where I live because towns have to build affordable housing and it is considered more acceptable to have poor elderly people than poor people with children.

It will be like Android. You have to use their app store to install new programs.

Regarding activities, I usually find I crave certain activities when I get burnt out on other activities and need a break from that activity while staying occupied. For instance, if I’m doing a lot of writing at work, I may crave a spatially stimulating activity at home. It is my mind signaling I’m doing too much of one activity and I need a different one to keep from wearing out.

It is a wave of volatility not seen since the end of the Cold War.

I would think you’d be bisexual.

Don isn’t that annoying.

To add to what you’ve said, Microsoft has effectively abandoned physical media as well, with Nintendo being the last hold out whom is constantly lambasted for their prices. Computer gaming had completely abandoned physical media for over a decade.

You need to figure out what land the trees get planted on. If it is private land, you should search if your area has a program to plant trees. If so, then try to assist them in getting trees planted in front yards.

If it is public land, try to identify the location and reach out to the appropriate government agency to convince them to plant trees. Again, there may be private or public programs to plant trees at little/no cost to the land owner.

I’ve had problems with insomnia in the past.

I generally find the easiest way for me to sleep is to be very physically tired.

I’m sure I can buy shitty copper from someone.

I don’t want to prove I’m an adult to shitpost.

Only in that having a certain threshold is used to determine if an account is a bot or not.

That’s why the Supreme Court case is about excessive fines and not the legality of the stop.

Most of the bans are in Native Alaskan communities who don’t have the resources to deal with alcohol, so they ban it instead. The ability to ban is codified in state law, so the state assists with enforcing the ban. It is the reason why an Alaskan State Police officer conducted the search.

It wouldn’t be just that island. A significant part of Alaska has a ban on alcohol.

Do you think this will create a longer lasting political movement?

The guest usually has a lot of discretion over the monologue if they want it, but the sketches are written by SNL writers.

It kind of depends on how it is received. Taylor Swift wrote her own monologue song and it went over very well with SNL writers per an interview with Seth Meyers.

Windows isn’t trying to do what Linux does.

On the server end, Linux beat every competitor out there, including Windows Server, because it was free and development occurred along the lines of educated users making improvements. So, at first Linux was worse to use, but it was cheaper. Then, Linux was about as easy/stable as paid for versions, but it was cheaper. When it became easier to use to educated users and more stable and cheaper, all paid server OS’s died.

That said, I bring up educated users because Linux is only a kernel and Windows by itself does more than Linux does by itself. On the consumer end, no one has been able to threaten Windows without a DRM’d app store. Consumers won’t do bug fixes at the scale that enterprise users will. Consumers generally need more developed on the UI side to make the OS functional while you can run Linux in terminal mode. Most of Windows’ development went into this, making Windows easy/desirable for consumers. In contrast, most Linux development time went to making Linux more easy/desirable for enterprise users/servers.

This is really the first year that Linux for consumers is viable and a lot of that work packaging Linux for consumers came from Valve putting the various pieces of open source software together and sanding down the rough edges. In contrast, Microsoft has been doing that for a generation.
