Beta was not better than VHS. Anybody could build a competing VHS machine, and it supported feature length films.
I would go so far as to say that yes most choices do end up with the best one being used, because people like nice things. Programmers just aren’t persuasive people in general, give it time.
Anybody know a good screen recording program for Linux that doesn’t alert Zoom to the recording?
Yeah! These Generation X programmers know nothing about low-level languages and electrical engineering. They’re compelled to put everything on the World Wide Web even when it’s unnecessary.
Inns, especially if they’ve got an enormous pot of perpetual stew, and people are giving out quests.
Why would someone prefer that over money that can hold value over time? When I die I don’t want my wife to have to jump through hoops.

He helped, but Nixon was anti union and pro debt.

You could do fun stuff where if you die, you REALLY die, like testing new submarines.
“Social” “networking”
Nope. I’m thinking of taking acting classes or something because I try to be nice and it doesn’t come across that way at all.
You already have taste buds there anyways
Anthropologists can look at a pile of skeletons and tell if it’s before or after processed sugar.
