Depends on your school of thought around addiction. Some people believe that once you have been a smoker that you're forever more an addict.

I agree with you though. 5 years without smoking you're probably not going back.

I think they're actually right about this one.

Not like the story will end. This one's in the same cabinet as combatting aging.

"Just a a few years away" means, "We are attempting to grift a billionaire", and it won't be achieved. I wish the company many well funded years of unprofitable operation.

Yeah. It's just profit, whatever makes line be as up as possible. I doubt there's any regard, good or bad, for the user's experience beyond that.

Mange nordmenn bruker engelsk ikke på hverdagsliv. Da kan de glemme. Jeg gjort det samme med spansk da jeg var yngre.

Jeg vet ikke hvordan det fungeres for invanderer som bruker ulike morsmål. Min erfaring are i det meste med servicetekniker, så det har altid vært individuell.

Depends on mood and temperature.

Oh i see the point of confusion. If taken literally yeah that's how it could be read. I read a sarcastic tone in the whole statement. They make an otherwise serious complaint then use a humorous informal slang like "rawdog" which demeans their own authority in the statement.

In this case the sarcasm extends to the word "let" which i think is pointing to how underperforming individuals get diagnosis and medication much more often. That they are given care while well performing individuals are uncared for.

It does fit the definition of the word as well, to allow someone to do something by not doing anything to stop them. In this case the not doing anything to stop them part refers to that lack of provision of care.

Ja jeg har hørte ofte at mange er sjenert med engelsk småprater. Det er litt morsom når jeg prøve samtaler med mitt begrenset vokabular.

Jeg har bodde i innlandet og mange tekniker kan ikke engelsk. Du kan også finne mange invanderer som kan nettopp f. Eks. arabisk og norsk.

Det kommer an på hvor i norge du er. Stavanger? Ja. Hamar? Bare om du snakke engelsk første. I noen landet steder kan det fleste ikke engelsk.

It may be more profitable to have regular success stories getting churned. The algo looks out for the best interests of the company's profit. Sometimes things line up.

It's all conjecture. I suspect the algorithm puts it towards the bottom of the stack because there's more money in casting a conventional net.

 

I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.

I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).

I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.

Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?

Is there a smarter solution?
