One question I have about the recycling aspect you brought up: Do you think this way of recycling is actually more efficient than on a larger scale? E.g. would it be more efficient to gather worn kimono from more people and make cleaning cloths from it? Or did I understand you wrong?

From what I understood, you are saying that the old way of doing it was better, but I cannot help but feel, that some things are better on a larger scale.

For me the problem with modern recycling is more the frequency and the percentage that is actually recycled, not the scale it is done at. Maybe the scale contributes to the percentage problem, but I cannot imagine the frequency being caused by it.

The frequency to me seems to be caused by the marketing and the general mindset to always have the newest, shiniest toys, or to stay on clothing: fashion trends.

To your first point, I agree that some people seem to be dismissing an entire comment based on one small remark. Do you think the system being a feudal one contributes to the way recycling and consumption was done? To me it has more to do with the poverty and making due, what you have. This cycles back to reusing things you already used beyond their lifespan. I cannot imagine an interaction that is born solely of the governmental system, but please share your viewpoint.

Also: I don't think your viewpoint is too extreme. We should learn from our history and maybe we could even derive ways to move forward.

I don't how ChromeOS works. Is Chrome the OS? If so they might have more of an argument than, say, Microsoft, since Windows existed before IE and it was clear IE was not integral to the base system.

It is essentially a really light Linux Distribution with Chrome running on top of it. But I have no clue, how hard or easy it would be for Google to allow a package manager or something to work.

As I said, they do not actively block you from installing crouton, which allows you to use any browser, but I don't know, if that would help with an antitrust lawsuit.

Well, it is debatable, if it is good.

For some it is obviously not, but for others it is a good default.

What's bad is that it cannot be changed. That is not debatable.

With the ~3 times of thrust from the Raptor engines, do you think they will move to a "Falcon-3" design with 3 Raptor engines?

Because that would decrease the redundancy, right? With Falcon-9 you would lose 2/9 of thrust if you turn off the mirrored engine in the best case. In a Falcon-3 scenario, you would lose at least 1/3 for middle engine failure or 2/3 for a side engine failure.

Yeah, even my Nexus 5X uses more with Bluetooth. But that may also be, because of Spotify, the syncing it does is not kind to battery life...

I guess talking to my phone is just weird for me, since I am not used to it, but I do all those things manually.

I check the weather with one touch on the home screen.

I don't need to navigate to work, because the trip is short enough and there won't be any heavy traffic.

The alarm is set to 6.30 anyways, I don't have to change it daily, so I just left the standard weekday setting.

Not hating on your use case, but I am always around people and I think I would get several odd glances, when talking to my phone like that.

I would imagine that you can still move your music to the SDCard, even if the app itself cannot be moved.

I don't know, since I do not use one, but at least for Spotify it is possible (as tested by my brother).

The best way to 'resync' for me is, is to just to skip the daytime nap and go to bed as usual. This works fairly well, but you are sleepy the whole day of course.

Maybe there is a certain amount of the placebo effect for you in there. For me it does not disrupt my sleep, but it certainly makes me more awake.

I will try without the condescending tone of the other commentor: Why does this not increase the possible damage a meltdown would cause?

Or does it increase the possible damage, but the security is high enough that the expected damage is lower than storing it elsewhere?
