I was lucky to get hooked, then. Started using Linux in 1999, tried out various *BSDs and a bunch of Linux distros. Have been tweaking my setup ever since. And I'm extremely happy with it (https://isene.me/2016/08/17/my-computer-setup/). The problem I'm running into is that my setup is reaching perfection - and that makes me sad, precisely because I so love the tweaking. I'm constantly searching for new stuff to tinker with or improve. I'm 50 now and way above that 80k threshold you mention. But as I said, I am lucky to get really hooked 18 years ago.
What on Earth are you talking about?
A decade long recession? I certainly haven't noticed any.
Re-joining the common market? Norway has been a member of EFTA since 1960. There has been no re-joining of anything here.
Get your facts straight.
And what ignorants modded the parent up? And "Insightful"? Seriously now.
All coordinated acts of terror happens because we allow private communication to happen. If we simply made it impossible for anyone to have any type of private communication, we could intercept Paris, 9/11... you name it. Don't blame crypto. Blame private communication.
Would the arguments in favor of weapons from e.g. the NRA (https://home.nra.org/) also apply in favor of letting NK have weapons on par with their potential enemies?
Ouch, that hurt. An HP-32E is one of 5 calculators missing from my collection. But I do have 4 New In Box HP-33Cs and one NIB HP-34C:-)
I used to have the HPP-37E with the lowest known serial number - until my collection of 90 calculators was burned to the ground in 2008. Luckily my collection was featured on Norwegian national TV with a follow-up only a few months later where I was standing in the ruins of that office building being interviewed. That sparked the start of my second collection. Only that HP-41 survived the fire (it served as my alarm clock at home),
Being an active collector and avid user of old HP calculators, I can beat that 18 year mark with ease and comfort. My HP-41 from 1983 is in almost daily use. My HP-27 from 1976 is still going strong just like an HP-9815 from the same year and my HP-67 from '77. My HP-35 from 1972 is working just fine. As are some 70+ other old HP calcs.
I installed Linux in 1999 and never looked back. Ok, I've tried various BSDs, but always came back to Linux. Been through a dozen distros, settled on Ubuntu. I am not a developer (just some hobby-dev'ing) or a sysadmin. Linux does the job perfectly for me - I have been running various businesses, have lots of clients (99% running Windows) - and I close to never experience any issues - on the desktop or with compatibilities. Running i3-wm (no KDE/GTK desktop), qutebrowser, LibreOffice when I have to, mutt, weechat... and write just about everything in VIM. I am jolly happy. Linux gives me exactly what I want.

I kept reading "thinkers" all the way through...
Switched from Windows to Linux in 1999. Never looked back. Have been running several companies since then, cooperating happily with scores of customers in many areas. Never any real issues with file formats or the like. Run as many programs on the command line or in (n)curses as I can. Extremely efficient setup - I am stuck with Linux due to efficiency.
"Who needs textarea any more?"
I do. I am writing this comment in VIM using the "I's All Text" extension for Firefox. I use my tool of choice (VIM) for almost everything I write, and I am not overjoyed with "solutions" trying to enforce other tools and behavior than the ones that help me the most. Freedom of choice is, at lest for me, very valuable.

Negative PR repercussions sometimes doesn't enter the equation as a manager waves off something that is not strictly in his scope that day.

He's not going to do even a fraction of what he says. His goal is to get elected.

Last time I counted, we were 623,966 residents here. Give or take a dozen. Did the city need garbage so badly they started to burn the population now?

Neat :) Similar to a program I have on my HP-41CX.
HyperList is not limited to any number of layers. though. But the VIM plugin is.
HyperList may be an alternative as a straight text solution (even with a VIM plugin doing all kinds of tricks).
