I haven't seen any of these bad boys in probably over a decade. They used to be all over the place.

Wow... I really should have just read the thing.

Well, now I actually have to dust off my Wii U.

Why is there a deadline?

Is the data going to delete itself somehow?

Well, I never really thought about it until now either. Haha. Though, it was mostly a choice of apathy, since when I'm dead I won't really care what someone does with them, I only really get to pretend that I will while I'm alive today.

If they're not charging for my organs that get donated, then that's pretty cool. I mean, I was given mine for free, so it only makes sense to give them for free when I'm done with them.

Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so whether they'll find someone who can use my stuff before it goes bad is a whole different thing entirely.

It's good that you were able to find some lungs.

My ID says I am, but I'm not registered anywhere else. Why did I have my ID say it? Because I felt like it that day when I renewed it. That's literally all there was to it.

Real talk though, I almost don't think I should be donating my organs. Why should the hospital get for free what they're going to charge a family hundreds of thousands of dollars for?

How do you know what page you're on?

Edit: Nevermind, I forgot that infinite scroll isn't the default setting. Haha.

Windows has been getting worse and worse all the time. With any luck, as Windows gets worse, interest in Linux will rise on its own. But it's hard to say what tomorrow brings.

No, it's better to be honest. The average user isn't ready for Linux, because Linux is not ready for the average user. I'd never try and get someone to use it if they're not already interested. I hate that it is this way, but it is. Linux is only really for people who already want to use it. Because if you're not interested in using it, you're not going to put forth the time investment to gain the benefits from it. No matter what angle I look at it from Linux is not for the average person.

Your second paragraph says it all. Find out if the user needs to dual boot? The answer is obviously "No" because no matter what they're using the computer for, Linux is unneeded for them, since they have Windows. There are tangible benefits to using Windows, since it runs their software, meanwhile, you failed to list any real benefits to using Linux for the average user. It's faster? No, not really, since they'll be learning how to use it, and even ignoring that, it's not so much faster that they'll perceive it anyway. It's more secure? Not really, Windows is the better choice for the average user in that respect, since it'll automatically force them to restart the machine every week to install security updates. Main choice of professionals? That's not entirely true, and even if it were, it's not relevant, the average user is not a professional. And for anyone who already owns a computer already running Windows, Windows was 'free' too.

The only time to have this discussion is if the user is having a PC built, and then the answer is also "No" to Linux, because they're going to buy Windows anyway, since it's better for gaming, and that's the primary reason for someone to build a PC, unless they're doing a specialized task like video editing, and if they are invested enough into the task to want a PC just for that, they have specialized software that almost always runs only on Windows, and even if it were able to run on either, it's not my place to alter their workflow.

The real elitist attitude is thinking people need to use Linux in the first place. For me and (maybe) you, it might get the job done, but for my family and friends. It's better that they use what they're comfortable with. The main point of a computer is to accomplish tasks, and giving them Linux is a hindrance to that.

Linux is great, but it's not for everyone, and it may never be.

Because writing has no face, you can't show writing how much you hate it, because it doesn't change and has no feelings. Meanwhile an actor does. It's just stupid emotional stuff.

It's what my friends call me.

The issue starts even earlier, with the fact that you're encouraged to nominate games that you may not have even played. I think the only game released this year that I've played was Cities: Skylines 2, which I didn't feel deserved anything, so I just punched in whatever games I could find that had released this year.

And then, yeah, I totally just clicked choices for all the votes for awards too. I didn't really care, I didn't play any of the choices anyway.

It is nice if you live in a small town or the middle of nowhere to have resistive heating. There aren't any gas lines running out there to provide your home with a constant stream of gas, so if you want a gas powered solution, you end up having to have a pig (it's this gas tank thing) outside your home, and you have to pay to have LP trucked out to fill it up many times a winter, and if you forget to check the pig and run out of gas, your family gets cold, and then you have to pay extra to get the truck to come quickly.

Meanwhile resistive heating uses the power lines that are run pretty much everywhere, and you pay monthly with your power bill, instead of incurring a larger charge for a longer period of time all at once.

But also, and I don't know if this is true or not, so don't quote me, heat pumps don't work if it is too cold outside, and a lot of the time when it is winter, it is very cold outside.

Basically, resistive heating has its place. As for running calculations to create heat, I'm not sure if that's effective on its own, I feel like you'd need a space heater or two to kickstart your way to having a warm home if the temperature changes suddenly, but apart from that the idea seems pretty sound.
