Oh cool, I did not know about this
I'm glad I deleted my content on the way out.
You are so right.
This is a big help! Thanks!
I did that spontaneously almost a decade ago. Alcohol is overrated and I do not regret the decision. If one misses the flavor or other aspects, be advised there are now many excellent non-alcoholic drinks available (beer, wine, and even liquor approximations). Increasingly, I'm finding them available at restaurants and bars.
It's a serious problem. Saint-Gobain significantly polluted the groundwater in southern New Hampshire. Job done, they are exiting the state looking for greener pastures to pollute.
I agree with the OP on this. Tie them up defending against an attack that will never happen. NATO is a defensive alliance.
I generally hate them in consumer-targeted apps. Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with the model. Devs have to keep the lights on, especially if there is a cloud service behind the app. It's all about what pricing model they set. However, pricing is hard. A lot of companies really screw this up right at the start. I also think a lot of businesses cannot resist the temptation to boil the frog and ask for more and more over time, until their pricing is way out of alignment with value delivery.
Imagine another Trump term with these abuses unleashed and amplified.
I think X led the way in robotic hellscape innovation that's now being adopted by Reddit.
