Yeah, that's what finally tuned me from an Apple everything to Linux/Windows/Android/whatever works. Used to be standard, but the mac with the processor and screen you need, buy Ram and harddrive elsewhere and install right away. The old G5s with that huge case literally made it a selling point how use upgradable it was. iPod changed everything.

I can cut my own hair now, it's great. Not only the money, but the convenience of getting a touch up whenever I want is great.
I remember an article ages ago that showed that Amazon, undoubtedly a monopoly, was on the right side of the law because of the "consumer welfare standard".
This was back when they were in growth mode and still unprofitable, but it seems obvious with this and their now record profits that they no longer pass that test. Time to break it up.
It's pretty sure everyone is making $69,420 a year.

...wait why did I just get kicked off facebook.
I have two:
Way back when I was 16, I worked as a host at a busy restaurant, I would get really stressed when we had a long line at the door (the wait would easily get up to 1 hour on weekends), and I just started repeating, "you can only do what you can do, you can't do any more". As someone who has always really struggled with the need to please everyone all the time, it's really helpful when I'm running busy events (I work as an events manager now) or when anything is approaching FUBAR because of things beyond my control.
On a broader, life-changes perspective, I always loved a quote from The Riches (said by the actor now known as Suzy Eddie Izzard),
"Life's a river kid, you gotta go where it takes you."
Its helped a very risk-adverse me take some huge leaps and I've not regretted any of them.
But why are selfish millennials killing the birthrate?!
Wow, the Lord's truth right here. I never saw it that way, but it absolutely explains why the last company I left put me through 4 reorgs in 3 years. So many middle managers with nothing better to do while an increasingly smaller handful of people kept the place from burning down.
It's like a hurdles race for toddlers. Its literally just a bar on the ground to hop over, and they still sometimes fail.
Absolutely no self-respecting Londoner is accepting those pints without asking for a top-up.
ETA: Just realized this is at Fourpure, likely when they did that stupid photo op holding empty 30L kegs to celebrate passing duty relief for beer sold in 40L packaging or greater.
As the "techie" guy on the marketing team, this offends me on so many levels...
Everyone knows it's "C://>"
Different but related, I downloaded Gboard to my phone, but mostly use it when I'm practicing on Duolingo... I've been getting ads en Espanol. Success!
