Not everyone has a gas station either. You get dinged pretty HARD if you don;t return a car without a full tank of fuel (baring the agreement up front). Why should battery powered vehicles be treated differently than internal combustion? What about the person renting the electric car next? Should they be forced to wait for it to recharge 100% before they leave?
Linux is viable, people just need to not expect the same GUI as Microsoft (they are all similar anyways). It’s a tech downgrade for me if I were to go back to Windows from Linux & BSD for my needs. My wife does just fine for all her desktop/laptop needs with what I have after I showed her how to launch what application she needed.
95% of computer users just want to open their fancy new cardboard box and get going, the issue is familiarity. Microsoft has worsened Windows by trying to provide a similar GUI across multiple platforms instead of taking their kernel and tailoring the GUI to the platform, specifically the slow movement of settings/configuration from ‘legacy’ to the new dashboard.
YOU might be able to utilize it. The guy who has goods you want might not so, and he’s probably looking for something physical or utilitarian for giving up his goods.
I have yet to sway from my long held notion that crypto only has value in a functioning society.
This is a normal reaction to somebody who is deemed weird. Some of the less tolerant students will harass and bully the weird kids to try and get them in line with societal norms. I don't tolerate the behavior (of the murderers) but this ^^^ is nature at work by what is taught. Is this outcome not correlated/reflective to what Darwin's theory is all about?
That’s the issue, they don’t want to see the kid or the diagnosis doesn’t fit their lifestyle.
Thankfully the wife and I have not had to deal with anything like this with our kids; I couldn’t imagine the pain and suffering of bearing a kid you know will go before you, but I’d at least want to hold my child.
