Well I think I can confidently speak for all "meat and potatoes" men when I say that not only would this not change my mind, I think I'd never be able to look at a prune in the same way again after eating this

Didn't know I needed History Showerthoughts, yet here we are

I'm always surprised by how many people would sooner rather run up their heating bill all winter than even contemplate putting on extra layers (or even just thicker/longer clothes).

I had a friend who would wear pyjama shorts the whole winter and always complain about the cold, as though putting on a dressing gown or just normal PJ pants wasn't an option.

Like obviously you should use heating if you need it - don't get risk hypothermia to save a buck - but I've never understood the rational behind people's refusal to actually dress like it's winter.

Part of me wishes that the oil would run out sooner to give governments more urgency to actually do something about our fossil fuel dependency, cause apparently the increasingly apparent effects of climate change just aren't enough motivation.

Honestly. Working with academics in science was so annoying at times exactly because too many academics talk just like this.

Too often I sat with them wishing I could just tell them to speak plainly FFS - unnecessarily complex, overly specific jargon doesn't make you look any better, it makes you look smarmy.

There's a really good article on Rentry.co for setting up Win10 LTSC. Though as you say, here's not the place for that.

Yeah, but if the people actually contributing the work and services to make the business any money at all, what would all the executives do for a living. Why is nobody thinking of them?? /s

Seriously though, it's one big legalised pyramid scheme - all the people doing the hard labour that actually make the world go round get paid the least while some guys get paid stupid money to sit in a board room and talk about strategies.

It is certainly true that obesity is becoming a bigger and bigger problem every year and that puttting our collective heads in the sand over it isn't going to help any...

But I can't say I like the idea of forcing body altering drugs on people who seek unemployment assistance, even if it's meant to be for the sake of their health. It feels like one hell of a slippery slope.

The irony of the right wing insisting on jamming it to songs that mock or completely oppose their ideals by bands that would hate their guts is palpable

Don't remind then that America isn't the world.

Also, ~999M is a whole lot less than the ~8B population we have now, so that is veritably not true

You could be right about them recycling numbers already, but 330 million < 999 million, so that wouldn't be why

I'm surprised and concerned that a company with so little infrastructure was even allowed to hold onto so much public data in the first place, seems like they'd be fairly easy to compromise - which I guess is true curtosy of USDoD.
