Thinking you are above the rules is privilege and self entitlement.
Well we know his wife won’t be driving him to the meetings
And they get mad at you when you are trying to help.
I’ll say too often interfaces are written for devs and not users.
Because if you wear your religion on your sleeve and are highly observant then that means you are conservative and rules focused by nature. People who belong to liberal Christian denominations, like Unitarianism, are rarely heard from because they aren’t vocal by nature.
People who are very religious also want to believe that what they follow is the truth but the very existence of nonbelievers casts doubt on this either consciously or subconsciously. “If my beliefs are self evident then how can so many nonbelievers exist?” So they rationalize this as either thinking of you as a sinner who deliberately refuses to accept the “truth” or a poor lost soul in need of saving. Christianity, and some other faiths, is also missionary minded in nature. They are called upon in the New Testament to “spread the word”. If you want to grow your numbers and/or your income (i.e. Mormon church) then you are aggressive with missionaries and hunting for converts.
People are also very good at rationalizing their views and cherry picking data to force things to fit their emotionally driven beliefs. Look at conspiracy theorists who dismiss anything that contradicts them as “lies” and “propaganda” but their sources are never questioned.
Sovereign citizen aka “cheapskate”
Get it off of our public roads then
No, that isn’t it
Familiarity also. People are more afraid of dying in a very rare plane crash than dying in a car accident. Same with terrorism vs regular crime.
The cost of building them and waste storage issues were a major factor
Mr Bean made me buy a Morris Mini
They used to be good
The posting essentially says there is no risk than tosses out mercury and lead vapors which don’t exist in a HDD. Then it talks about the lead in solder. You’d have to vigorously rub and handle the solder on circuit boards to get any amount on your skin worth worrying about and then you just wash your hands. That risk is true of all boards that don’t use low or lead free solder. The whole comment is very hypothetical.
If your hard drive has dust it would’ve failed a long time ago. They are designed to be extremely clean. The head is like a 747 flying an inch above the ground. It sounds like an urban myth to scare people.
I used to collect AOL cds. I had a stack a few feet high. I was going to make some sort of artwork out of them.
Sorry if the data disagrees with you.
And I thought the MAGA people hated facts…
I lived in a 3 decker built in the 1940s outside of Boston and the thing had barely functioning steam heat that had constant water hammer and it was so drafty that in the winter I could actually feel a breeze coming through cracks in the walls.

Chasing lower prices? How about higher incomes?
NYT: “Per capita income in 1938; Average Figure Was $5l5, Compared With $679 in Boom Year and $376 in 1933 NEW YORK STATE HIGHEST Yearly Earnings Show a Mean of $822, With Mississippi Lowest With $205”
So many people I know who after college ended up living on crap. At best they only knew how to boil pasta. I got a cookbook on my favorite cuisine at the time and started trying all sorts of recipes when I first lived on my own. I tell my wife “If you can follow instructions you can cook” and she said “I hate following instructions.” lol
