We didn't get here without going through there.
The family bitchfight that was the Dubya war, was pointless.
Every president for decades has bombed the shit out of Iraq. This is not about a "family bitchfight". This is about American imperialism. Reagan. Bush. Clinton. Bush. Obama. Trump. What do they all have in common? Military policy in the middle east.
Distinct problems that both contribute, and you just added a third now.
I never claimed my prior comment was an exhaustive list of the related issues. That's your [faulty] assumption, which makes an ass out of u, and umption.
You continue to conflate them, which is unsurprising at this point.
They are all contributory. This is not as complicated as you want to make it. I understand that you are playing the confused victim of a complicated conversation, but it's not that complicated. Anyone who can comprehend the ins and outs of a modern computer should be able to grasp these concepts adequately to have a conversation about them.
No, phage therapy does not solve all these problems
It would significantly reduce the amount of medication required, so while it might or might not solve the problem, it would assist in its mitigation.
I'm trying to be polite but you're grossly oversimplifying.

Learn to read, FFS. They're two distinct problems that both contribute. OP was conflating them. Fixing one does not solve the other.
People flushing pills is a lesser problem than the fact that these pharmaceuticals are being excreted in/as waste. It's a result of using drugs that do not target ailments specifically, but have to wander around the body hoping they meet up with the problem. As we breed more resistant illnesses, we have to select increasingly non-ideal drugs to combat them. These drugs are more harmful both to patients, and the environment. The solution to both problems is the same — phage therapy. Unfortunately, that would require massively more health care professionals, but our system is designed to produce few of them so as to preserve profits for AMA members — who are in fact a minority of physicians.
They have programs to incinerate (the only actual way to destroy these things) pills for free. People are simply too lazy to use them,
The situation is actually much more complicated than you're making it out to be. Some of these drugs can actually survive passing through sewage treatment, and treated sewage is generally discharged into waterways. That's why I brought up my particular anecdote — not only is that kind of behavior a hazard because of hazardous biologicals, it's also a problem because of persistent and stable pharmaceuticals.
A while back we went to go look at a work-for-rent cabin outside of Willits, on a supposedly permacultural demonstration farm. Turned out the owner had workshops there, and she had attendees shit in buckets in an outhouse, then literally buried the shit in a hole next to the river that some neighbor dug for her with his backhoe. This person recently gave the keynote speech at a local farm conference. So as it turns out, both municipal waste management systems and hippies in the woods are shitting up our water systems. You might say it's end-to-end.
If instead you make bullshit statements like saying Bruce claims to have coined the term, anyone reading that will likely see that you are full of shit and stop reading before they even get to see the CompuServe link. You lose the argument because your evidence is never seen and you just look like an asshole.
If you can't learn from assholes, how do you learn from anyone? Most everyone acts like one at least part of the time, like when they remain willfully ignorant even when someone is trying to share information with them.
Police abuse across America is the supporting information. This is the safest time to be a cop in America in history, but they are murdering more of us than ever before. This stuff isn't a secret, the mainstream news has covered it.
Yes, there are cases of police abuse. There are cases of regular people abusing others as well.
Whataboutism
New skews perceptions, you will hear just about every police related controversial incident, but very many that happen in public will be ignored by the media.
This is about the statistics. Less cops are dying, and they are murdering more of us. It's not about the media.
You should congratulation them for shaping your skewed POV.
So everything Apple does, did, or will do is doomed to failure, but we loves us some x86 architecture from 1979
Nonsense. All common x86 processors have been internally RISCy since AMD introduced their Am586 chip, and Intel its Pentium. The only thing they shared with x86 processors from 1979 was an instruction set, with its primitive use of a limited number of registers — literally none of which were "general purpose", as various instructions required operands to be placed in specific registers, and results to be delivered to others. These failings were addressed by the amd64 instruction set, which largely permits use of registers as general-purpose, and which provided for four times as many registers in the bargain. The x86 decoder is a minuscule portion of the silicon in a modern processor.
Looking back, it took 5+ years to end support for PowerPC Macs, I can't see it being any less and I would expect it to be twice that especially for Mac Servers.
Apple doesn't have servers any more. "macOS Server" is an app in their desktop app store which costs twenty bucks, and provides some of the functionality which comes with NT server. The last time Apple had a server hardware product was 2011.
If this is all a reason for having apps that work on iPhone, iPad & Macs, I again point to HTML5 and WPA.
Ugh. What a PITA. If that's the best Apple can do, their best isn't very good.
Corn/maize is a good source of many minerals and micronutrients, and even contains reasonable amounts of protein, although it is deficient in lysine. Famine victims can't survive indefinitely on a 100% corn diet, but it has plenty of calories, and when combined with pulses (beans and peas) or supplemented with meat, fish, eggs, or dairy, it is nutritious.
And then there's masa, which is substantially more nutritious than unprocessed corn.
They (almost) killed the Mac once before, while doing nothing with it.
Yeah, you have it right. Apple almost killed Mac by sticking with 68k. But they had an ARM core that would rival the 68k processors of the day in the last of the Newtons, and they neglected to go ARM then like they should have.
They could launch new server modules at the same time, they've been in the space before.
Who would trust them? Their first servers were grossly overpriced, so were their second servers, and they dropped their third server line just about the same time people got used to using them.
The promise of ARM is awesome. But so far I remain disappointed. I've got a drawer full of ARM devices that I used for short periods of time.
Please pry those out of storage, and sell them to some geeks who can use them, for a reasonable price. People could use them. Unless you're keeping them for posterity?
And you are free to believe whatever you want to make up, regardless of supporting information.

I run both noscript and UO and my browser is using 1.4 GB. Maybe that's because it's Pale Moon, but I'm not using Firefox because they took out functions I was using, and am actively using in PM.
I like exercise, but since I crushed my toe it's hard to do anything but bike, and it's been mad rainy of late. Hmm, and I need new pedals, I should look into that. Broke one riding with a cam walker on.
I for one can still worry about whether there's something wrong with me whether I'm playing with my phone or not. Perhaps some people can't multitask. I'm not saying I do it well, mind you. I might only be able to be half as disturbed my by thoughts as usual, but that's plenty to work up a good head of self-loathing.
When am I supposed to leave it at home according to you? When I'm out doing stuff, like running errands or riding my bike, I'm not using social networking. But I may still want to use the GPS function, or take a photo, and I can't do that if I don't bring it with me. Slashdot can wait until I get home, unless I find myself sitting around the car dealership while I'm waiting for service, in which case I might as well slashbot.

What we need is reformation of our concept theft laws to divide it into three categories:
1. Theft for reasonable survival.

Race cars don't crash head-on into an oncoming truck.
No, they crash head-on into immovable walls, especially on tracks with inadequate runoffs, like road courses.
All racers go the same direction and are roughly the same weight.
And are going much, much faster than is legal on roads in most situations.
Less need for 'consumer protections'
Is that why more safety equipment is mandatory in racing? Because there's less need for it?

You want a Universal Basic Income? Buy shares in PepsiCo. [...] UBI for shareholders of the ETF.
Do you find yourself confused by the world "universal"?
None, you need Genuine Intel for a flawless Meltdown experience.
Almost. You can also get it with POWER, or ARM Cortex-A75.
Agreed. I'm pretty much 100% Linux, and the state of desktop Linux is atrocious. Gnome 3 is an abomination, it has killed my productivity
What's preventing you from going back to Gnome 2 via MATE?
