Stuff like this is entirely irrelevant. Your reaction makes me hate people.
Not that long ago we had to deal with none of the kind of modern technology that you probably need to use as a crutch. We sent people on long voyages comparable to colonizing Mars. We managed very well. You're probably only here because of how well we could manage.
There is nothing stopping us from distributing all of the necessary food while not even employing any modern technology for the preparation of it.
I know people that still employ these techniques either because of lack of affluence or being very picky food snobs.
So can or freeze it then. This fetish with "fresh" is primarily a fixation of the rich who feel the need to waste as much money and resources as possible.
This fixation makes a simple thing appear difficult for no good reason.
> What, did you read an interview with the author in Forbes? You know that would make him like 180 years old, right?
Ever watched C-SPAN? You know how they show video of the Congress? Well, before video was invented we had this thing called WRITING. People used to write shit down before you were born.
> i don't see democrats shooting up churches or schools or ramming their cars through crowds of people.....
That's because you have blinders on. They shoot at congressmen on baseball fields, firebomb and shoot campaign offices, and assault politicians on the streets.
> Strawmen convention much? Linux is a Unixy OS MacOS is Unix.
That's utter bullshit. What spec that MacOS conforms to is far too restricted and low level to be of any practical value. Macs underneath are alien to anyone that's worked with real Unixen. Far more alien than Linux.
Macs have always been their own proprietary GUI based thing. These days they happen to be a variant of OpenStep.
They aren't Unix to your average Mac user and they aren't Unix to those of us that have worked with other Unixen.
The jack-of-all-trades approach in Apple apps is like the opposite of Unix.
I just recently tried adding an additional hard drive to a Win10. What a hot mess that is. It's like they are going out of their way to annoy everyone both n00bs and power users.
Minimum wage drones are crap for the economy. They simply don't make enough money to push any significant amount of it through the economy. What businesses they can patronize are very limited in scope.
If you have any real reason to care about the minimum wage, you've already fucked up the economy.
The definition of "troll" has been devalued to nothing more that "someone I disagree with" for a long time now. A lot of people can't handle the idea that someone would disagree with their particular cult.
> If apple no longer makes those replacement batteries, then how can they be legitimate apple branded batteries? Presumably these were just manufactured and not 'new old stock'.
They don't have to be "branded". They only have to meet very basic physical characteristics.
Sickle cell is a genetic defect. It can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on where you live and how strongly it's expressed.
Being resistant to disease is generally an advantage. Even the younger crowd of cancer patients have generally lived long enough to spawn the next generation. They're already past the natural human expiration date.
This article is pretty much a solid counterargument against that.
There are in fact genes that are associated with various racial and ethnic populations. They give rise to genetic diseases associated with various races and ethnicities. They also limit who you can get an organ or bone marrow translplant from.
A little bit of spit can tell us EXACTLY what your racial and ethnic makeup is.

"Chemicals" is code for industrial compounds like benzene that will give you cancer or just poison you quickly.
Only intentionally obtuse sanctimonious gits pretend it's meant to include everything like things like water.
> Facebook bans aren't the risk to your freedom. Losing Net Neutrality OTOH is.
Your total lack of self-awareness here is hilarious.
Corporate censorship is as much a threat to your freedom as government surveillance.
You are quite literally manning the barricades on behalf of Robber Barons.
They're dirty communists that can't handle the idea of people making money.
Versus dirty communists that share their work freely with everyone. ;-)

No. "Whataboutism" is confronting a jackass like you with the simple fact that you happily accept this stuff when a member of your own tribe does it.
> i don't see democrats shooting up churches or schools or ramming their cars through crowds of people.....
That's because you have blinders on. They shoot at congressmen on baseball fields, firebomb and shoot campaign offices, and assault politicians on the streets.
So... the summary is just CNN style fake news. Why am I not shocked?
> How are you people proud of anything?
You are probably alive, fat, and happy because of a number of things we created.
That's not even getting into us rescuing you from one of your little inter-tribal conflicts.
If you're doing a Hackintosh then you can ditch the whole low profile thing entirely and have a MUCH better range of available options.
Even with a NUC, you probably still have a much better range of available options.
The limiting factor is the small subset of the available PC options that MacOS will actually support.

> I don't see the business model of trying to sell to freetards.
I use Linux because it's not crap. The fact that there is no licensing nonsense associated with the OS is just an added bonus.
I would have paid for payware Unix back in the day if it actually had supported common PC hardware.
I just recently tried adding an additional hard drive to a Win10. What a hot mess that is. It's like they are going out of their way to annoy everyone both n00bs and power users.
> Ah yes, the small niche market of 99% of business desktops and the vast majority of home PCs.
So what? I probably wouldn't be satisfied with ANY of your other consumer choices either. You probably have no taste what so ever.
The beautiful thing about a free market is that I don't have to be held hostage by your stupid choices.
Although your FUD is simply out of date. Microsoft is entirely optional these days.
You may even find the non-WinDOS games on Steam to your liking.
> The reason they haven't also banned Twitter is that Twitter has a policy of not allowing that kind of thing on its network.
Except they don't really enforce it. They will happily accept blatant anti-semitism if the perpetrator's politics or "identity" lines up correctly.
Minimum wage drones are crap for the economy. They simply don't make enough money to push any significant amount of it through the economy. What businesses they can patronize are very limited in scope.
If you have any real reason to care about the minimum wage, you've already fucked up the economy.
So so hows does shameless political propaganda fit in with "news for nerds"?
> weak strawman. Try harder.
The original remark is neither of those things.
The definition of "troll" has been devalued to nothing more that "someone I disagree with" for a long time now. A lot of people can't handle the idea that someone would disagree with their particular cult.

> What color is the sky on your fucking planet? Because it sure as shit isn't blue.
As long as there isn't some blatant cronyism involved, someone will step up. It's against human nature to leave money on the table.
Actually, the original article is a pretty good example. The only reason there is even a problem now is because of blatant cronyism.
The market is being interfered with by government. Shameless corporate boot lickers are cheering on the nonsense.
> If you're using >15GB Pornhub are probably 1st in line, not musicians, Canadian or otherwise.
Or you just cut the cord and use Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, and friends.
> Well, until he's impeached for perjury in 6 weeks.
Even liberal judges aren't as shamelessly partisan as you are. They will apply the actual law and this will go nowhere.
> But it's open season on raping Conservative women until then, Kavanaugh proves it's legal now.
It's a shame that liberals don't actually value civil liberties anymore.

This article is pretty much a solid counterargument against that.
There are in fact genes that are associated with various racial and ethnic populations. They give rise to genetic diseases associated with various races and ethnicities. They also limit who you can get an organ or bone marrow translplant from.

Value judgements are another matter entirely.
"white genes" are very real.
