Well put. My answer would have just been, that it's possible, but that it can be very, very expensive.

Don't worry. Asbestos cement is not really dangerous, as long as the concrete is intact and you don't touch it, there's nothing to be afraid of.

It's when it crumbles or you work on it, that you have to take care. The problem is Asbestos dust entering your lungs, where it's very carcinogenic.

But intact walls and roof are okay.

How did you edit this?

The distribution of tonal values and the colors are very tasteful. It must have been beautiful light in the first place, but surely you had to develop this, right?

Makes sense. I wasn't aware those existed. Where I come from jukeboxes aren't really a thing. The only one I ever encountered was really old school and only had vinyl records from the Elvis Presley era.

I used to like a bit of philosophizing, but then I had a philosophy professor who ruined all the fun. What a Kant.

Where do you even find a jukebox, that plays Darkthrone?

Errrm, I'm pretty sure her age, while being a huge factor, isn't the only thing that prevented that happening. She's not exactly on a similar vibe as Anthrax or Millencolin.

I mean, neither Britney Spears nor Christina Aguilera made the cut iirc, despite their popularity in the same era.

Same, dude. THPS2 was massively influential for my generation.

Never been a skater myself after having had a neck injury in third grade, when I first tried it. But the music stuck.

That's part of why that move to coin that phrase was so powerful. There are real conspiracies/intelligence agency operations (like regime changes in several countries during the 20th century), and then there are completely idiotic ideas and takes (like flat earth) and ones that were never meant to be taken serious (like birds aren't real).

That makes it really tedious to weed out the bullshit and distinguish it from the stuff that has substance.

Not really. It doesn't really prevent competition. You're welcome to make your own cheese (or whatever) that competes with the protected variant. You're just not allowed to call it the same thing.

It's more like a measure to prevent shitty corporate cost cutting and skimpflation strategies from ruining a thing into oblivion and ensuring that you can rely on a certain level of quality that is associated with the traditional product.

The system might have it's downsides, but I'm definitely on board with the intent.

Are you talking about the major java/jre repackaging issue, that was announced (proposed update procedure included) on the archlinux news-page, that you are supposed to check before an update?

If so, then you can't really blame the distro, if you don't follow basic best practice guidelines.
And then you'd also be pretty late to that update and should run updates more frequently. Once a week to at least once a month is a good idea. That's the idea of a kinda bleeding edge, rolling release distro.

I agree. Unfortunately that is too abstract a factor for most peoples present investment decisions.
