Thinking of going abroad for dental implants. An oral surgeon said it used to be an issue with poor-quality knock off parts, but that the manufacturing has gotten really good.
Countries keep cost low by subsidizing doctors' education, by the way, which is even more expensive for them when those doctors cash out to come to the US where doctors graduate with a debt of $250,000 from schools where graduation class size hasn't changed in decades.
By the by, intensive and indiscrimnate care by specialists--where doctors want to end up instead of low-paid primary care--is definitely more expensive without necessarily leading to better outcomes.
Each slice will come with a disposable cryptowrapper that will be used by the toaster to validates the authenticity of the bread within.
Given the high risk of deaths from house fires caused by toasting unregulated slices of black market bread--maybe inserted by unsuperivsed children--this is the most socially responsible path forward.
Why does everyone in the world think they can't be racists simply by virtue of not being American?
I wasn't calling you racist, but do you find that a lot of people do?
Anyway, this linguistic tendency goes way beyond race; think of how the BBC accent was posh London for the longest time, or how Quebecois are ashamed of their accents, or how Argentines envy continental castellano... it's a race thing only in so much as it's a class thing.
"Man is meant to be free, but everywhere, he is in chains."
vs
"Fish everywhere are meant to fly in the air, but everywhere they swim underwater."
The idea that man can ethically evolve in the tragically short period offered by Star Trek is preposterous. Star Trek is the dream of progress manifested via technology, but we have the technology to feed the world right now, we have the technology to greatly expand medical care at a low cost, yet we don't because we are designed to be slaves of unjust systems that dominate and abuse.
I can NOT watch Star Wars anymore without being overwhelmed the economic, spiritual, and political impication of droids that are always just... there.
Sadly, I think it's exceedingly rare for a franchise to ever mature enough to question the foundations of its world building. It seems the role of a franchise is to recycle itself to increasingly younger and more naive audiences until it has lost all value.
The best we can hope for is a spiritual successor offering commentary, like the way BSG is really in conversation with Star Trek (no surprise given the writing staff).
Why are a multitude of poor options better than a few good options?
There's this weird mix of free market capitalism and FOSS philosophy that says more and shallower forks = better ecosystem.
Not commenting on this OS specifically, but just questioning your blase assertions that more options is better. Maybe it would be have been better to invest more time into an existing project.
Edit: Great arguments for this OS all around, I'm just saying please DO make an argument instead of just assuming that ANY diversity is good.
I haven't done this yet since it's still an open question if I want to survive the apocalypse (just have a few extra bags of dried beans), but you probably want special food grade plastic with rubber gaskets, neither of which I think Home Depot offers.
One scenario is a speeding car is coming up behind the car trailing. You can't see it and it can't see you. You merge into the lane just as the speeder enters it to pass and you get rear-ended.
I'm saying they could corner the market on components they can manufacture by banning export of the raw resources they control. Threatening rare earth metal exports was how they got Trump to heel.
