Esperanto certainly has a lot of Romance vocabulary, but so does English. I don't see it as a Romance language. It's seems more a mix of Latin, Germanic, and Slavic.
IMO, there's a difference between bricking a Linux box vs a Windows box. Unless you have a System 76, you probably installed Linux yourself, or had your nephew do it. That means you have the install media and can reinstall the damn thing.
OTOH, Windows machines don't come with install disks. If Windows is foobar, then for all intensive porpoises, it's bricked (short of taking it to a PC repair place that will unbrick it for what you can pay for a new one).
Well, if this 30 years experience guy can't find a decent job, he'll have to get an indecent one in fast-food. As a bonus, some stupid teen won't be able to buy an X-box because this old geezer stole his job.
I spent about a decade frustrated because I didn't know what I wanted, and another decade broke because of buying all those toyz during the frustration period. These days, I know what I want and have most of it. No reason to be frustrated, and barring medical stuff, not likely to go broke, not only because I have more, but because I know not to spend my resources stupidly.
When I was 20, I couldn't imagine declining. I thought if I couldn't run in 102 degree summer heat, that was just one step above being in a wheelchair. About 4 decades later, I'm certainly not where I used to be physically. I don't run much at any temp, and I don't even walk at extreme temps, and in good weather I don't walk nearly as fast or long as I used to. But it doesn't really bother me much. I'm probably happier than I've ever been, though I'll still thump you with my cane if you annoy me.
I know that. I just hoped that in the 21st century we, as species, would be a bit more civilized now than a bunch of monkeys fighting each other to be the alpha male and have all the females in the pack for itself.
That would be nice, but if you go to the zoo and see the orangutan throwing its shit, and then see Congress in action, the similarity is depressing.
Yeah, that's the problem. I'd love to have something that would call for assistance if my mom had "fallen and I can't get up!", but only if it really worked when needed.
I recently discovered one problem with a drawstring. My mom was visiting me, and we were on our way out the door. She reached to turn off the living room light, and couldn't reach the damn cord! I'm over a foot taller than she, and never even noticed how high the string was. Obviously, they didn't have short people in mind when they put it in like that.
I'm old enough to remember when you could actually earn interest on money in a bank account. These days, you'd probably get more from the money under the pillow than in the bank. At least the pillow doesn't charge you fees.

The problem is, when people understood what the other people were really saying, that led to MORE wars, not less.
The man is not good (right?). My Esperanto was awhile ago.
Yup! My Esperanto is "malbona", but I'm pretty sure of that.
Which is more popular online? Esperanto or Klingon or Elvish (or other JRR Tolkien invented language)
Klingon is more popular. An entire interstellar empire speaks it. If you limit it to this planet, Esperanto is probably more popular.
Don't know about the elf languages.
Well, I remember looking at the orangutan cage and seeing it throwing its poo. Reminded me of the last election.

Actually in most countries of the world a US Dollar is far preferred over their own currency
In some countries (Venezuela), bitcoin is preferred over their own currency.
I have the feeling that if I bought any dogcoin, I'd just get bitten.
Create one and I will make it happen. But, it needs to be able to think creatively to recognize a good idea. I will wait while you do this.
Why do you have the bar so much higher for the robot than for the CEO?

More likely, automation will mean all the burgers are wrong in the same way. With humans, they are all wrong in different ways.
'bricked' means the hardware is messed up, e.g. you can't reinstall an OS.
Came here to say the same thing, if it will boot from a usb/dvd/cd/floppy/network it isn't bricked.
What if you don't have a dvd/cd/floppy and your network is borked?
Doesn't the power button just put Windows in a sleep/hibernate state? I bet Alexa is still listening.
Yup! IME, the average doctor is mediocre. And half of them are below average!

I think if I had my 25 y/o body with my nearly 60 years of experience and wisdom, I could rule the world.

What I like about the temperature scales is, it proves I'm tougher than the Europeans. I can take temps up to 100. They can barely handle 40.
Kelvin works okay if you live in Minnesota. Otherwise, no.
Quarters, nickles. Oops!

Heating and cooling can be matters of life and death. I wouldn't entrust them to the Internet. (Monitoring them, sure, but not controlling them.)
At least not without a non-connected way to control them in case of outages, hacking, or vendor being an @$$.
