Cool. I’m a dude and pretty old, though. Having a baby might be a bit of a problem.

I guess he’s finally lost it completely.

Something… something… Schrödinger

None of this is accidental or a failure of the system. The system works as designed.

I always had trouble with running dual boot, mostly because I don’t really have a clue about all this stuff. So the consequence was to ditch Windows. Never going back.

A sleep tracker really helped me. The worst thing about sleeplessness is the fear of sleeplessness. Seeing that you did actually sleep, even though it felt like you were lying awake all night, really helped me put things into perspective.

You don’t want to know.

Does the plug get sent to you automatically or do you have to register somewhere?

And is that huge 3D printer in the room with us now?

There was a time when people tried to get US citizenship as a backup plan.

The answer is implied in the question.

Quite frankly, this scam was so obvious, I have zero sympathy for anyone who fell for it.
