Most of Europe the age is 18. Some countries goes as low as 16. In North America, in Canada it is 18 for 3 provinces, in the USA it depends on the state. Puerto Rico is 18. Mexico it’s 18. Nearly all of South America it is 18 with a couple of exceptions where it is 16 and one case where it is 20. Most of Africa it is 18. Asia is mix but China it is 18.
The “pucks” definitely were terrible, but they had one button mice in the “classic” Mac times too and people were always using that as an example of how Macs are baaaaaad
I hate the fancy restaurants with the stupid square/rectangle yuppie plates. Why the plate gotta be so damn small? It leaves you no choice but to make a damn mess especially with all that sauce everywhere.
I’m ok with square plates, but the rectangular ones annoy me because it means you can’t turn them the way you might want to. In order to, for example, not have food fall off your fork and go everywhere.
I don’t think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it’s more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.
I don’t have anything to say about Apple users, because I don’t know anything about them. I do however have things to say about Windows users, having been one my entire life up until a few years ago.
MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it’s a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that’s a thing that a lot of people do.
And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I’m going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.
The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.
I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.
I’ve switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn’t run like a furnace, even under load
The thing I find funny about Atheists is when they’re like “uh why doesn’t God stop evil??” And then you complain when He actually does something about it
This assumes that if there was a god they are perfect and chose to make us with teeth that fail, bodies that get cancer, anger issues and mental health problems, etc
While that could be the case it could also be the case that if there was a god said god could just be a much higher level lifeform that could create galaxies and life and shit, but still was maybe not all that good at it. Like look at humanity. We can do crazy shit, we can make computers that do incomprehensible things to humans that existed as little as 50 years ago. But those computers still fucking suck and crash all the time, blue screen, lose data, etc.
Maybe there was a god that made humanity but he just wasn’t very good at it and as a result we now have cancer and war. and maybe they’re up there like “oh they’re deifying me, that’s super awkward bc it’s totally my fault their first child died of leukemia at 7 years old”. Or maybe they did all that and now they’re dead too because they’re not actually a god but just a higher lifeform and were deifying a loser that would’ve gotten a c on their biology homework
An interesting argument. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone seriously put this forward, only George Carlin (who was perhaps serious but not presenting it seriously).
I mean that kinda makes sense no? If I was convinced god existed, is all powerful and all seeing but also a total dick I’d be very faithful to the creed lol. Dont want to make him pull some petty vindictive crap with me like sending a plague or so
