Patches and gum are still better nicotine delivery systems for breaking the addiction. However, people who don't want to break the addiction because they like nicotine (or at least think they do) want a small, fast-acting dosing system that can be measured to match the situation at hand. For this niche, vaping is much better than smoking. Setting plants on fire and inhaling the smoke is always going to be a horribly impure and inefficient way to dose. Vaping doesn't have to be zero-risk to still be an improvement over burning leaves. It's also much nicer to everyone around them, and if they stick to the old "smoking zones", then there won't be an opportunity for second-hand effects.
Please, read The Three-Body Problem and tell me the Cultural Revolution (which was a Communist movement) didn't kill people. Even the Chinese government can't deny that history, or the book would not have been allowed to be published.
I was the original alpha tester for Windows 10 on Bay Trail Chromebooks, and the first implementation was absolutely hideous. Windows To Go technically worked then, but it took minutes of disk thrashing to do anything because Bay Trail has some serious design flaws that slow down both USB and SD transfers enormously (though for different reasons). Once it got to the point where it would run natively from the eMMC, things got quite a bit more usable, but while it is possible to get Windows 10 up and running on a 16 GB eMMC, there isn't enough space for maintenance of any sort. This meant moving things out to a flash drive and symlinking all over. I actually had it working for a few months that way, but then of course a major feature update broke it. 32 GB would actually be adequate for the OS, and everything else can go onto a flash drive without symlinking.
Bay Trail (N28xx and N29xx Celerons) was shipped half-baked by Intel rather than miss deadlines. They couldn't get the SD card I/O to work reliably above 25 MB/s, so they just hacked it so it can't even try. Too many simultaneous calls to a USB drive can start blocking each other, dropping transfer speeds into the single digit kilobytes per second range. This wasn't particularly a Chromebook problem, it was all Bay Fail devices (except those that added chips to work around the problems).
Ultimately I sold it, and bought a Haswell Chromebook instead.
Some of the more affordable Chromebooks run Windows quite well. I have an Acer C720 with a MrChromebox UEFI image, and the only thing that differs from a normal Windows ultrabook is the keyboard. Some key "chords" are required to compensate for keys not found on the Chromebook keyboard (Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, F11, F12, Insert, Delete, CapsLock, PrtSc, ScrollLock, Pause, "Windows key") but that is the only compromise required. If I had the touchscreen (C720P, and it can be added on after the fact, all C720 motherboards support it), that would work as well.
Other Chromebooks that convert well include the Acer C740, Dell Chromebook 11, and even the rather crusty Acer C7 and C710 models, because they all feature expandable storage. Of course, they're only going to run as well as you would expect for hardware of their class and age, but the C740 could be equipped with a Core i3 5005U which is no slouch.
Chromebooks have been able to run Windows for a few years now, thanks to the chrultrabook crew. Google provided some assistance in the project, asking the developers to attend some of its internal conferences and lending them a Pixel 2 for a while (which turned out to have damaged audio hardware, making that a complete waste of time). Unfortunately, those same developers decided that newer Chromebooks are no longer worth supporting, due to undersized/underpowered non-replaceable components. (The good ones used to have M.2 slots. They don't anymore.) Thus, the project has pretty much closed shop.
If someone else is going to take up the reins, that's great. The Libreboot people declined to take it over, so I'm glad someone is interested.
While I generally agree with your point, running Windows in no way guarantees that the software you use won't end up unsupported. I've had to upgrade software many times to accompany a newer version of Windows. In a few cases, I was unable to do so because that software was no longer in production.
This is like forcing yourself to drive a car with a slushbox because your wife never learned to operate a manual gearbox. If you are basing your choice of OS on the ability (or inability) of another person to use it once every few years then maybe what you need is to make it easy to get into VNC. Then all your wife has to do is turn the machine on, and maybe log in for you. After that, it's yours to handle, rather than staging the Zoolander "the files are in the computer" scene a few times a decade.
T doesn't fit in the Tesla naming scheme. Then again, neither does anything else.
The four models have been S, 3, X, and now Y. The Model 3 was supposed to be model E, but Mercedes made a stink about owning "E class". So it went l33t.
Fender has been recently raided in the UK in connection with doing exactly the same thing, Gibson will most likely get away with it because... well, anyone trying to sanction them for their sales practices is a bit late to the party. Gibson today is not the same as Gibson one or five years ago.
So that you know, the initial complaint about price fixing seems to have been filed by Thomann, who most definitely are in the musical instrument and pro audio category.
I have been told "your game should have more plot development", and I said "When making design choices, there are three elements to balance: breadth, depth, and speed. Now choose any two. We have chosen breadth and speed, and depth had to be sacrificed. We wanted to put in more, but you wouldn't have read it anyhow."
His response was "then this isn't my kind of game", and mine was "that's fine". That sort of shit just isn't worth fighting over.
Showing that you are qualified and that the other person should best shut up is the complete opposite of accusing them off NOT knowing shit. Respect-by-default might be a nice philosophical position to take, but when you run across loads of un- or under-qualified personnel, it's a tough one to stick to. Understand that, and be prepared to stand up for yourself. Prove yourself useful. If you still get pissed on after that, then maybe there really is a problem.
But you still don't make it personal, which Price very much did, unless you want to burn bridges. Gender has fuckall to do with it.
So it's the reverse of a casino, where they lure you in with cheap or free food and drink so that you'll drop money at the tables or the slots. The theater instead baits you with break-even pricing and then gouges you on the food and drink. The basic problem with this is that movies are only a couple hours long, so it's perfectly plausible to eat first and eat again afterward. Only if they can get you to stay for TWO movies does food service become a necessity.
Your garage door doesn't have a sensor to prevent closing when something is blocking the opening? Ours does, and it's about knee-high, so unless you have a very jacked-up Model 3, you wouldn't have to worry about the garage door closing on it. The door also will stop if it hits resistance, and has a rubber strip across the bottom as a weather seal, so it's not going to be metal-on-metal (or metal-on-paint) in any event.
They don't like it when you as an individual "go dark", but they can't stand it when you start teaching others to do it too and will use all manner of "persuasion" up to and including "facilitating child pornography" just because you believe in communications that are both convenient and secure.
But it would be such a shame, and a blow to the Working Man, if High Frequency Traders can't operate! Think of all the bots that would be put out of work, you insensitive clod!
Use Hatreon. Yes, they accept absolutely deplorable projects, quite openly, but that's the price of no censorship. If the mainstream sites are going to shun adult content, then adult content needs to shun the mainstream and see who wins. (It won't be the mainstream.)
Even without that, all he could have done in this short a time frame is get them to do what they already wanted to do, only sooner. If they didn't already have this in the works at the time of the request, it wouldn't be done by now.
She's hiding Barron from the fallout around his father being a serial whore-fucker who can't even keep himself from knocking them up. Let her have some peace, wherever she's hiding.
Propellant is usually the reason these missions are forced to end. If they're not out, or dangerously close to it (they need some reserved to send it into the planet), then by all means, keep the lights on as long as possible! It's not like there's another one on the way.

Why can't they? They were up until now.

If by that you mean "find it on SciHub", yeah, that'd be kinda nice if you did.
There's a reason detractors call them ammosexuals, too. Maybe, just maybe, these two facts could be related.

Meanwhile in Perl land, the founders have tried to step down multiple times, but nobody could read their resignation letters.

Hey, I didn't say the business model was foolproof, or even smart.
Many regions now mandate that people can carry water with them where they want, so that at least can be carried openly rather than concealed.
