Perhaps his friends do not have smart phones, because they do not want smart phones.

Is the DUNE neutrino experiment really being constructed purely to keep particle physicists employed?

human is undoubtedly making connections and associations far more complex and expressive, but at bottom it's all just "sound = thing", no? 🤔

The understanding of this complex and expressive structure is significant because it allows you to convey novel or abstract information. You will not be able to explain what a walk is to a dog without a demonstration, while you will be able to do so (to some degree) to the unfortunate hypothetical person who have never taken one before.

It's also a compiled blob, which is wonderful news if you were developing closed source software. You don't have to work around javascript with pesky obfuscation tricks to protect your intellectual property anymore! ♥️

That would only be a valid comparison if the american brand dehumidifier, as a complete product, was a part of the chinese one's bill of materials. This is closer to the cartoon meme image where McGuyver builds a megaphone out of a squirrel, twigs, and a megaphone.

1/4 to 1/3 of WD-40 is a petroleum base oil, and they make claims about its lubricating properties on their website and marketing material today.

GOG is owned by CD Projekt Red who included DRM into their own DLC for Cyberpunk, including on GOG. That's not "strong" in any sense of the word.

The DRM:

Get a fucking grip man 😅

I believe the academic label for your concern is the mind-body problem, or the hard problem of consciousness which specifically questions the gap in explanation between the physical process and the subjective experience. Going against the grain of the OP picture, this is definitely still firmly within the realms of philosophy, not at all a settled science.

Yes I have forgotten to cover my sneeze more than once in the last thirty five years. Yes I still think it is not a good thing to do. What kind of a question is this man. Do you think that as soon as you break any social norm you relinquish your right to object to any normalization of this stuff for the rest of your life 😔

I'm not gonna be convinced to conflate corporate skepticism with spreading foot cheese over the subway seats man 😭
