Fewer than 50% of the cells in “your body” contain your own DNA.

There are many more bacteria, since they are much much smaller than “your own” eukaryotic cells.

Where you end and your “gut flora” begin and end is not as clear as you might first believe.

Floppy disks, too.

The difference is that each Windows upgrade is objectively worse.

Also, even if it wasn’t, a large number of the people who use Windows don’t continue to do so because they really loved Windows, it’s because they’ve always used Windows and don’t want anything to ever change.

So each EoL kicks their asses off their ledge and they have to make the biggest fuss about it, because that is just what using a computer is for them.

It’s just a mentality thing, and not something they’ll readily put into words because it’s clearly futile and churlish.

ni

or

neeeeeeee

is the sound my new kitten makes in most circumstances.

Example: When trying to climb a pile of pillows that instead falls over,

“Neeeeeeeeeeee”

Nah if you want to watch porn you can just watch porn.

Access to adult content is never been easier so we don’t need half-assed versions in our film.

also, there’s some selection bias as the “top X grossing films” has included more and more childrens films over time as adult consumption of all content has moved out of the theatre and to the internet.

They are cool friendly predators, but my cat is a bigger one.

“Conspiracy” assumes the government is functioning in a fundamentally honest manner.

In the 70s, the public was frankly shocked to learn about the Watergate Scandal, because they assumed America operated in a fundamentally honest manner.

After Watergate, the “conspiracy theorist” developed. Because if Watergate is true, what else is going on?

Around that time, AM radio was looking for new programming after the public’s music listening transitioned to FM and we got a steady diet of extremist religious programming and Conspiracy-laden talk radio. Shortly after the Fairness Doctrine ended and things really took.off. One of the biggest TV series of the 90s was the X-files.

Anyways, if you have a conspiratorial government (e.g.China), you’re not a “conspiracy theorist” to believe in conspiracy. There are very obvious conspiracies at work.

The corruption epidemic the US is now facing (post Citizens United) means we no longer assume we have a fundamentally honest government.

“Conspiracy theorist” is dead. Our government is fundamentally conspiring.

To your point, Ukraine lacks resources for both Ice cream and bbbrrrrrtttt.

They are fighting for their freedom.

If the USAF doesn’t want to deal with the A-10s supply chain, there’s a good chance Ukraine doesn’t either.

The only thing that keeps the A-10 flying is Congressional mandates from a few jobs-oriented congressmen.

To be fair, Kamala is our third Presidential candidate this year. 😂

I don’t understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party.

It’s because that is what is advertised to them.

The switch from PC usage to locked down devices has made things worse and more expensive and less creative.

Remember, Apple invented the PC but IBM democratized it.

We didn’t get the same thing again.

Apple invented the Smartphone and Google also contributed locked down devices.

Its worse. He’s a Mormon.

Have you ever seen a real roadrunner?

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those… 9/10 people won’t.

Pair of Thieves long legged boxer briefs their “superfit” material. Available at Target.

Put a dry towel under the damp one if you must

Uniqueness is not a thing people generally desire.

cf. Waiting for the Revolutionary Vanguard to usher in Utopia or for Jesus or the Mahdi to come back and establish the Millennium.

At least with liberalism, someone is milking the cows in the meantime.

Tuck a damp towel into your collar.

The scent molecules are polar and will stick to the water molecules in the towel.
