Well, assuming no one will have direct experience, there’s two safe options.
You can get a virtual machine and install it there, and run every virus scanner you can find on it before installing it on your normal machine, or you can just leave it on the virtual machine and permanently sandbox it.
You can do the same with an old computer, too, just disconnect the internet after downloading.
You can also get a custom AirTag skin and put that skin around something else (probably the poker chip, or a broken AirTag) to have a perfectly sized photo for the slot.
Could definitely play it on a computer and link the sound to a recording device, although then you lose all the metadata like chapter info and get some loss. But as a personal copy, that’s arguably fine.
Nah the future, you’re like your grandparents who don’t know how to Google, but so much worse. Technology has progressed so far, we wouldn’t recognize it, but it’ll have been taught from. Society will be so fundamentally different that we don’t even have the context to discuss it here. The past, we can make suppositions, and while some will be wrong, we have some idea of what it’s like, but the future, we’d be like a Napoleonic war veteran running out of gas in his car because he can’t read the dials, didn’t know what gas is, and can’t use a gas pump because he has no bank account and cannot open one without a social security card.
Right but this is in the context of Bhutan, which has just achieved 100% sterilization.
Shelters will become very niche there, very quickly. Most of my local shelter’s cats are kittens, given up because a cat wasn’t sterilized. Give it a year, maximum, local shelters will close and it’ll be regional shelters full of the oddballs with medical conditions and the like. While shelters will always have a place for rehoming those animals and dealing with the lost-but-not-found, those lost animals that become strays won’t reproduce, and very shortly the only new cats will be from authorized breeders.
It’s the role they should have. Not dealing in pedigrees or exotic cats, but just providing the demand for common cats, because shelters won’t be able to meet demand, in Bhutan. Good for them.
Yeah, definitely some benefits to it, even without extending it to communism. The usual term for these is an insurance cooperative, if you wanna research them more. A lot of unions do this, too.
The logic is sound, but as you extend the idea, the group starts selling access to their doctor, and you basically pay a subscription for a doctor, and then you just have insurance by another name. It wouldn’t be corrupt like modern insurance, but that’s just because it’s new, not because it won’t get there, unless specific steps are taken to prevent that.
Really, the only thing thatt actually accomplishes here is you’ve removed profit and CEO nonsense from the equation. A community that implemented and organized all these potential communal services would just be a commune. Nothing wrong with that at all, we need more communist principles in our lives.
I had nosebleeds a lot too and everyone always told me that it lets the blood clot better. I’d always tell them I’d rather it just bleed then. So I thought it was true, I just didn’t care, it was uncomfortable.
