   Legally, I guess. Because thankfully, it's not hard to create PDF copies of any ebook even in 2021.

   Lol, I'm on a 4th gen because my wallet is empty. But I like to think that it's because performance improvements up to 8th gen were pathetic.

   It does have a hangover when you smoke too much, and the stupefying effect that lingers for days in some people is also something to dislike. But when the drugs you actually need are locked behind a retarded system, you use what you can get

   It's amazing how wasteful the whole industry is. Now you have soldered CPUs in laptops - a great way to ensure they get replaced often ($$$ for Intel/etc) and end up in a dump in Africa somewhere, where no one will see or use the

   Cost efficiency is the key, though. It'd be kind of like newer 2.5" SSDs, the actual drive takes up a fraction of the space inside. Just without the benefit of being cheaper. Power savings would pale in comparison to cost and for

   Ignoring the licensing issues, LTSC failed for me. Just literally wouldn't boot one day. It's probably something hardware related, but the Pro version works great so far, even if it ignores update time and sticks my files into a b

   The lesson here is to use proper hosting instead of AWS or some other fart cloud.

    Well, yes they would've. "The USSR is opening up", "let's help them liberalize/democratize". It would not have been important technology, but that's not what the USSR lacked. Worked great for China.

    Basically, fit in, don't stand out. So if you're not a lemming and want to succeed, pretend to fit in. Fake it till you make it. The chances of getting ahead without challenging anyone/anything are extremely low. The most c

    Let's see, drone research, bomb research, gunmaking and ammunition possibilities, research on fires, explosions and incendiary devices, quick suicide methods, drugs, legality and punishment for a lot of shit, etc. Yep, I'm fucked

    Both dogs and cats will stay with you even if you're not there. I guess they consider it family or something. Me and many others have left our cats (and sometimes, dogs) alone at home to go work abroad, and they're still there whe

    Everyone seems to love quoting that, but it's just a quip from a fantasy series written by a professional writer (i.e. no experience in economics/shoemaking/business/etc).

    I used to be affected by downvotes a lot. I understand them on aggressive shitposts, but on comments with facts or comments that I've put a lot of thought in? It just doesn't make sense! It's like having a group of people thi

    Yeah, it was great. Until I fucked both of my knees and my back, and have been in pain ever since. It affected me mentally, as well lol. No one helped me, no one even thanked me. Take the mental work. At least you can always exercise enough

    15 out of 10, meaning you're living way beyond comfortable. That's the kind of rich I talk about when I say "rich", btw, not some doctor or lawyer.

    Yeah, the primitive vs advanced brain struggle is real. Unfortunately it doesn't quite translate to social systems. In the quest for ever increasing safety, someone might ban tap water because one guy choked on it. That would be hilari

    I still don't see how a millionaire giving away 1/10 of his wealth lowers their quality of life. Unless you think a QoL of 15/10 is acceptable.

    I mean, I agree with you, life is harsh and we all need to practice more personal responsibility. However, there are a lot of cases where things are out of someone's control and they're really helpless. Like depression. Take a pil
