Driving is fun, but it also shouldn't be the default mode of transportation. Society and infrastructure should not be designed around the expectation/requirement of driving a personal vehicle to get there.

My reply was more about special use cases not being a good excuse that Linux isn't ready. You're right, most stuff people can easily do on a tablet or a phone, and that same stuff works just as well on a Linux machine. So someone that wants to do that stuff, but wants a machine more powerful than a tablet, can run Linux without issues.

I mostly just game and browse the Internet and my daily driver is Linux. I have not come across anything that I needed Windows for so far, in a year and a half of not using Linux. There may be some games I was vaguely interested in that don't run easily on Linux, but day to day tasks, 3d printing/slicing software, basic image editing software, browsers, coding IDEs, all work native on Linux.

Sure, if there is a specific software that you really want to use, maybe that specific software isn't available on Linux. But one individual running into multiple things that only run on Windows sounds like it is a fairly specific use case. At best, someone might need to use an alternative program. At worst, maybe that person needs to keep a windows environment around. But that doesn't seem like the case for the majority of people.

I'm sorry, I meant it incredulous, like "excuse me, it's weird to ask that"

Still using it? Celsius was invented less than 20 years after Farenheit, in the first half of the 1700s, and initially Farenheit was much more widely used (primarily by Britain). Both have benefits; Farenheit is more granular, but Celsius is easier to apply alongside Metric measurements.

But that's also assuming that it stays at just over triple digits, doesn't it? 125F is just as valid as 101F, and that's without going to something ridiculous like 872F.

0F, or -9F if negatives are included in this, can definitely be very dangerous, but can be prepared for and compensated for more easily than temperatures over 110F.

I 100% can be wrong here, but as far as I know the Champion only needs to conform to the weight limit when they win the belt. If they go over the weight, they don't automatically lose the title, they just had to meet the weight requirements when they won it. Though, they'd have to be within the weight limit again to defend the title, so I guess if they are challenged when they don't qualify they might be disqualified?

Trying to look it up after reading the post, it seems you'd have to look at individual promotions for their specific rulings on how it's handled.

"Last Christmas", any version

Thanks, I hate it (though my roommates seem to believe the more beeps the better)

Turnabout and all that; now the enemies all start carrying wooden whistles they use right before casting fireball at you. At the very least, it would be silly and should hopefully get the players being extra careful as they craft their spells!

I agree with you, but find it absolutely hilarious that the two examples you gave are the ones I almost never hear people around me using.

Couldn't you, like, pull over on the side of the road for a very similar effect, rather than parking in the middle of the lane on a highway?
