I’m sure fines are under “other expenses” in their financials…

I stand by my statement :)

A day well spent

Should be reference to Spartacus’ rebelion? When defeated, the rebeling slaves were asked to point out Spartacus to which everyome of them said “I’m Spartacus”.

Or so the story goes.

I mean… obviously

In the grand scheme of things the pyramids were built relatively recently, but I’d still consider it quite long ago

They don’t relly know better. Windows is familiar, Linux sounds too complicated and techy. Hell, I was thinking the same and I’m reasonably tech savvy. It’s infinitely more friendly than I’d ever expect.

People are afraid of change and unknown. Though ironically Linux might actually be closer to the original Windows experience that Win11 is (speaking from my limited experience with Mint)

You are correct, but on the other hand it doesn’t hurt to make the average person aware of alternatives.

Can be especially effective when the person buys a new PC and needs to do all the stuff you mention anyway. Yes, it is still a new OS, but honestly, it’s not that different - especially if the person remembers older Windows versions, it might just feel like going to familiar places (I know this is something my wife would really apreciate as she hates the constant changes of how things look). Obviously depends on distro, only have experience with Mint.

I’m saying this from a position of a resonably tech savvy, but not your average tech nerd (at least knowledge wise lol). Sure there are differences under hood but I don’t think the average user would really notice them that much.

it was a punishment for the Jews killing Jesus

This is peak logic. Glorify Jesus becasue “he died for our sins” but demonize Jews for killing him… Bitch, if they didn’t kill him you lack key aspect of your religion!

All I needed to read is the threat was told by Medvedev. The guy constantly spews crazy shit

Serious question - since when do pills have taste?

Seconding antlers which someone mentioned, great for chewing. Otherwise it’s mostly various plastic toys unfortunately. Rope toys are nice as well, because we got more mileage from them. Once he chewed through them, he ended up with two smaller toys which usually survived a bit longer though.

Stuffed toys are useless, lobotomied in minutes. Which is a shame because second dog would enjoy having them :(

I mean… they took Krym, West did nothing. So clearly they tried again on a grander scale.

They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that’s when ads start.

If you are from EU, you might try envoking the GDPR maybe? Though most make it incredibly difficult afaik

Wtf is Reddit Pro?

And I clarified this. OP asked about animals, I have experience with dogs and acknowledged cats are different.

But I can imagine cats having similar conditions. There are always outliers and sometimes you have to do unconventional things.

Don’t know about cats, but can answer from dog perspective - I imagine it might apply to cats as well. And this is a completely utilitarian answer: food alergies. Animals can have them.

We have a dog who is alergic to most if not all most common meat proteins - chicken, pork, beef, fish… didn’t test all but you (and we) get the picture. Luckily, there are less common meat proteins (venison as one example) which he accepts just fine - but there was a distinct possibility he would not. So we would be faced with two options - buy him super expensive, ultra processed analergic food, or go for vegan options. If faced with this decision, I’d opt for option B for sure.

I know cats are seen as true carnivores and dogs are omnivores, but I think it applies to your question

Weird calling out EQ which os still going and even getting expacs afaik
