Unfortunately there are many counterexamples, large animals that live long in the wild tend to have shorter lives in zoos, like elephants, hippos, and monkeys.

It is nice, but not e-ink

My personal printer works flawlessly on Linux, except that it cannot be convinced to print double-sided, no matter how deep I dig into the settings. Boils my blood.

Most consumers are familiar with the 802.11 standards

Lol, no. Not in any way.

Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).

Ceci n’est pas perdu

https://filebrowser.org/ just exposes a filesystem you point it at. Never had problems wit this. For syncing you can use syncthing.

Just testing how deep Cunninghams law will go haha

Nono, these are d orbitals. Although p orbitals are equally silly.

Christian Horner?

Yeah, F1 driver Max Verstappen is in a similar situation. Clearly insanely talented, but probably got there by having a childhood which was pretty fucked up (left at gas station by father in Italy if he lost a karting race, etc.).

Maybe we miss out on a couple of savants without this kind of treatement, but it is a pretty good tradeoff, especially if you think about all the kids that did not make it to the top, and just had a abusive childhood without anything to show for it.

Just a warning: this takes pretty much every bad FF trope you can think of and turns it to max. Awful reading.

Your definition of vegetable is “cannot be used as base for pizza sauce”? Oddly specific.
