There is nothing in 11 that I want that isn't already in 10, and what I need from Windows vs. Linux is approaching zero.
All these giant rocks and tools fit just fine, but he couldn't fit one little bottle of superglue.
Hey, if it got him through school...
I hope you aren't a pilot, or at least not my pilot.
You can just talk to one of your more inept coworkers.
I had a theoretical math professor. He said something along the lines of, "Being a theoretical math professor is the best job in the world. You can lean back in your chair, put your feet on your desk and close your eyes, and no one can tell if you're working or having a nap."
I got a message on my computer, Win10, saying my computer wasn't capable of being upgraded to Win11, but it would be protected by updates until October? 2025. Nice of them to give me a reminder to switch to Linux.
It's like a reflex now.
Thinking, "Holy shit! Is that even real?"
Checks URL.
Sigh, "Yeah, it's real..."
The obvious solution is to follow the model of Judge Dredd. That worked out well.
Well, one time my kid said some misogynistic shit (it's been a decade, I can't remember the details) and I spent 10 or 15 minutes chewing him out in front of his siblings about how that's inappropriate and wrong, with examples of the errors and results. When we were talking one time after he'd reached adulthood, he told me this turned him away from the path of radical anti-feminism.
No guarantees this will work in most circumstances, but it did this one time.
It's not really a base 1000 system. It's base 10 attached to a line, with position denoting its power. It even has the benefit of being compound glyphs, with only ~~4~~5 unique lines used (plus the spine). With a single addition this could be as expandable as Arabic.
Not bad for a numbering system that didn't become popularized. And if you say, "Ah, but you have to add a symbol," feel free to learn the history of zero.
