Building your own cabinets will be monumentally more expensive unless you are an experienced cabinet maker with a bunch of tools already.

2013 was over a decade ago we've went through both a housing crisis and record levels of inflation since then.

This isn't direct democracy, we aren't voting on every issue that would otherwise come across the presidents desk. We are still electing representatives to make decisions on our behalf.

We are still a federation of states (federalist) represented by elected decision making leaders (Republic).

People generally don't like being proselytized.

I think, because most people who are actually relying on Adobe products (e.g. making money with them) are making way more than it costs (by several orders of magnitude) so they let themselves get slowly boiled because they still make money hand over fist.

Everytime there is a price increase, the discussion becomes: do we retrain x people, costing us y per person and reducing productivity for z months, or do we just take the L and pay a flat percent increase per seat and maintain productivity. The choice is almost always the second one because it's hard to predict how prices will increase in the future and the costs of retraining your staff.

The people not making money have no resources to stand up to Adobe, so they make noise because it's all they can do. Adobe ignores them because they don't generate a significant portion of their revenue.

If you are an employee for a company using Adobe products, it's likely you don't even care and you may not even be aware of the pricing scheme your company is following.

Crazy to me that they can't just prorate it, like everything else in the world.

What? I think you maybe just don't know what purpose secure boot serves.

It's not a tool to vendor lock computers, it's a tool to establish a chain of trust to protect the boot process by only allowing cryptographically signed images from executing. Anyone can sign things for secure boot by simply creating an x509 certificate and importing it. If vendors wanted to prevent you from running a different operating system, they would just lock it down completely as is done in many devices like mobile phones and proprietary electronics.

Secure boot means that only the intended bootloader runs, it can be any one, but it just needs to be the intended one.

Secure boot works with Linux.

How about 'the majority of businesses, offices, and people are active from 8-10 or whatever, so when my plane lands at 11:00 am in Tokyo, I can be reasonably confident that I will be able to do standard human business things' versus, what time does Tokyo wake up?

Also every city and even neighborhoods would end up disjointed and on their own system since even just a few miles can make a big difference on when the sun sets and rises.

Timezones were made specifically to link people that were geographically far apart, we had a time before time zones, and people missed their trains all the time because 9pm meant something to pretty much every single person.

I actually spent a lot of time weighing the benefits of buying an EV, as I used to have a 50 mile one way commute.

I opted to get a different job instead.

Again, the discussion is not about the ownership experience, it's specifically about charging the cars. Also, my point is that you don't road trip often and so, you aren't typically spending 20 minutes at a gas station. I think you are just projecting an anti-EV stance onto me for some reason.

I guess I missed the part where the discussion was on fuel costs.
