If you're head-in on an MRI at 35, hopefully it's from an accident.

Ah, yes, move the goalposts and continue to use sophistry

Excellently put.

It frustrates me to no end that this kind of longer view is rarely taken.

As my grandfather would say "who's ox is getting gored?". Some beneficiaries drive such change, some stand by and wait for their opportunity to collect their share.

Too much of this seems pushed by monied interests just using sophistry to make this sound like it's better for everyone.

Yes. No. Maybe.

I had a Microsoft mousr in the 90's (9 pin serial, ball), that frankly was better than any other mouse at the time.

Neat! Thanks for the insight

No, it wasn't.

It was to speed access to data. Unless you have some evidence the researchers who work with electromechanics at the time were thinking "how can we replace humans", rather than "how can we represent 80 columns of data electromechanically?"

No need for this nonsensical hyperbole.

Maybe, maybe not.

Solid objects aren't always stronger, strangely enough. I'm no mechanical engineer, so I can't explain it. I assume it has to do with how stress is tranferred.

Dammit, now that song's in my head. Thanks a lot

This is the best answer - "cone of shame" (haha, love that description) lamps in each corner, with dimmable bulbs.

Polluant?

Typo or a word I'm about to learn?

Because I cook, and need that stuff back. I don't have all day, I gotta cook again in a few hours.
