Definitely don’t lock yourself in with them and repeatedly stab their lungs in a flurry of blows on both sides. That could cause their lungs to collapse and / or fill with blood, which might result in a death by either filling your chest with air but still gasp for air, or drowning in their own blood. And nobody wants that.

“Hey, this is exactly like a strawberry pie, if you replace the strawberry by veggies and meat, and the pie by water. It’s actually a stew.”
By all means, do whatever comparison you want, but I’ll reserve the right to disagree.

Could you point me to the ones that didn’t?

I did, but the direction is reversed. XKCD talks about how standards multiply and get more complex. This is talking about a different motivator for computing technologies, which is having a leaner, simpler alternative, that eventually gets bloated.

It’s talked about in this thread. The short version that IBM built a logistics machine for the Nazis that was used to coordinate the transport of supplies for the war effort and transporting people to concentration camps.

Those experiments didn’t advance a thing. That’s a myth. They had no scientific rigor. Nothing was gained from that.

They may go down 3% for some products and they’ll make a big deal out of it.

How is this relevant? I’m not trying to be combative, I’d really like some insight on your thought process.

I got a petty good webcam for about $20 a while back. Set it up higher than my head and sit some good 30-40 cm (~15 American thumbs) from it. The image is just SO much better than the crappy integrated laptop webcam, it’s not even a comparison.

I only realized I had near exclusively toxic relationships in my circles after starting college and meeting decent people. It was a rough adolescence and wrecked my sense of self worth for nearly two decades.
