Onomatopoeia

Exactly.

Everyone certainly experience aspects of ADHD (distraction, loss of focus, etc) to some degree during their lives, but not on a continuous basis, sufficient to disrupt their lives.

People who say dumb shit like this can kiss my ass. They need to have their dominant arm tied behind their back for a month, just to get some idea how difficult it can be.

If it's part of an HMO, definitely. That's been the case in HMO since the 80's as business management practices pushed in after being bought.

If you have the option of PCP/PPO, they may still be rushed, but it's more because they're trying to see as many patients as they can, not because upper management is pushing them to meet statistics (only some PPO docs are part of a group that uses such management, independent docs don't have that pressure, unfortunately there's a lot of pressure against independent docs by both insurance and government these days).

Since the 80's I've chosen HMO and PCP options through the same insurance provider (in multiple states), and the difference is obvious. HMO GP's are clearly pressured to reduce office time, and only provide options that patients push for, while PCP docs will put options on the table and let you choose what route to go.

Hahaha, fine dammit, have my upvote

That's fine, I'm not a fan - I find the stories juvenile and simplistic, so don't worry, I won't be bothering you sycophants by walking out... I just won't be going.

Does that make you happy?

Geez, gatekeep much?

Exactly, keeping components separated, especially the router.

Hardware routers "cost money because they save money" (Sorry, couldn't resist that movie quote). A purpose-built router will just run and run. I have 20 year old consumer routers that still "just work". Granted, they don't have much in the way of capability, but they do provide a stable gateway.

I then use two separate mesh network tools, on multiple systems. The likelihood of both of those failing simultaneously is low. But I still have a single failure point in the router, which I accept - I've only had a couple outright fail over 25 years, so I figure it's a low risk.

Separate devices provide reliability and supportability.

If your all-in-one device has issues, you can't remote in to maintain it.

Take a look at what enterprises do: redundant external interfaces, redundant services internally. You don't necessarily need all this, but it's worth considering "how do I ensure uptime and enable supportability and reliability? ".

Also, we always ask "what happens if the lone SME (Subject Matter Expert) is hit by a bus?" (You are that Lone SME).

To be fair, the pro plan is for the non-local stuff, which is at least understandable as domains and resolution services are non-free.

Also ongoing development takes resources. Seems like a reasonable approach.

I say this as someone who absolutely despises subscriptions.

The question "could it be Earth 2.0" still doesn't matter.

We'll never have a way of getting there, unless we discover a fundamental misunderstanding about how the universe works.

Is it fascinating info that leads to a better understanding of nature and the universe? Yes. But that's irrelevant to the question posed. Had that been the focus, rather than a click-bait nonsensical title, it wouldn't receive the criticism it deserves.

No

Ah yes, the "Malaise Years" in the automotive world.

In the case of Harley, brought on by the acquisition by AMF - the same people that made tennis rackets and kid's bikes.

85 on a bike (and tires and roads) of that era.

I have a 90's sport bike that can do 140 - even today 85 is about all I car to do with it.

Hell, 1970's cars didn't really do those kinds of speeds well - the suspensions just weren't designed for it, they tended to float a LOT.

There were some really ballsy folks in the early 20th, racing stuff like this with little more than some leather protecting them (notably on their head).
