You need a chapter on "Microsoft and Kerberos". They adopted Kerberos for Active Directory and at the same time literally wrote the Kerberos RFC saying specifically how to use it across a large enterprise.

Then they didn't implement it that way.

They intentionally made it so that Active Directory doesn't follow the Kerberos standard they they wrote. So if you follow the standard you won't actually be compatible with Active Directory. It's one of their more subtle, "Embrace Extend Extinguish" maneuvers. Most people don't know about it because the only company impacted at the time was Novell (and they won their legal stuff against Microsoft... with a settlement).

Actually permetherins (the class powerful general purpose insecticides found in RAID) don't have much of an effect on lizards 🤷

This is the British parliament we're talking about. The law was likely designed so that British politicians and nobility could bang a 14 or 15yo and still have a chance at convincing a jury that they, "thought they were 16! It's not like I'm going to demand ID!"

How do you get replacement parts for your 1951 tractor?

Actually it's way, way more complicated than that. The big automakers outsource most of their parts production. So any given part like a tail light or outside mirror is being manufactured by a third party. The automaker will place an order for say, a million tail lights to FOO manufacturing that specializes in tail lights. FOO manufacturing will then make 1.2 million of them and sell the extra 200,000 to auto parts stores, auto body shops, online retailers, etc. They'll also retain the molds and templates necessary to make new ones should there be market demand.

Tesla makes all their own parts (mostly) and the market for aftermarket Tesla parts is quite small. This means there's very little incentive for 3rd parties to step in and make Tesla parts. The side effect of this is that you can buy replacement parts for cars made by the big automakers for decades whereas parts for Teslas can become scarce once their production run is over.

Note: There's a whole 3rd party market for unofficial parts/clones that I'm not going to go into. That's where auto parts manufacturing and stocks get really complicated.

You're right: As a literary work is absolute garbage. The chapters are all over the place and it constantly repeats itself, telling the same stories in a slightly different way with no added information or useful insights.

It even makes it incredibly difficult to suspend your disbelief by stating impossible things as simple facts with no explanation whatsoever like someone being swallowed by a whale, fitting two of every animal on earth into a single boat, etc.

Someone will hit you with a pan for saying things like that!

Imagining the idea of a deeply religious person going back in time over and over again, going further and further back looking for Adam and Eve and finding very modern-looking humans going all the way back 200,000 years...

Nah, they'd probably give up after going back around 50,000 years and accidentally infecting the entire human population with the common cold, nearly killing off the species.

And now we have even better scientific tools that allow us to retroject all the miracles, incorrect dates, absurdly inaccurate numbers/measurements, and the authenticity (very foundation) of it's stories. Proving that it is all fiction.

Reminder: Until the 1800s no Christian believed that the world was older than about 6000. If you went back in time and spoke to literally any Christian at that time and said you were both Christian and believed that the earth was billions of years old they would definitely say that you're a liar: You're not a Christian. You would be declared a heretic.
