Get married.
Have kids.
Activate the parenting part of your brain.
This will change all your priorities and make you a better person.
Unless it won't in which case don't.

Get your priorities straight and figure this out.

...it too became an abuser, breaking windows through out the city in one hellish tantrum.

It is an anagram for BULLSHIT. They threw in a few extra letters to confuse you.

I'll get right back to you on that thought...

I wanted to upgrade.
I had the cash in hand.
But Adobe destroying file compatibility (can't write CS4 files), forcing the subscription model, cloud and 30 to 90 day reauthorizations on me make it not something I'll do.

So I just keep using CS4.
It works.
Adobe loses money they would have gotten as upgrades by tens of thousands of users like me.
If another program comes out that I can afford that will read and write all the Adobe formats I need (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) then I would switch to it in a heart beat.

Let me get this right.
Your friend stops using iMessage.
You send her a message with iMessage.
You weirdly expect her to magically get the message despite the fact that she is no longer using that service?
Riiight...

Maybe you need to fall back to old technology like her phone, email or your two feet.

There is a disk that writes permanently. They claim it will last a thousand years:

"The unique materials used in the M-DISC requires a new disc drive technology to engrave data permanently. The M-DISC Duplicator have been designed and optimized to work with M-DISC as one to etch data into the permanent synthetic stone layers within the M-DISC. Archival-quality DVDs are known to randomly fail leading to permanent data loss."

If you still have the necessary hardware and software to read it you should be okay.

Looks interesting for time capsules.

The statistics are about what I would expect. There is no way to try most games being sold online except to download them. You can't try them in the store. If you could, most people wouldn't bother to even download so download statistics would plummet.

Most people download the games so they can try them. Most games are awful so they get opened once, tried and then ignored or even deleted.

A few games get tried a few times but then ignored and deleted.

A very few games are really worth it so those ones people pay for.

As to the in-app purchases, I'm not interested in that wallet sucking method of paying. If I like the trial version of the game then I will register it and pay for it. If it is a game that requires little in-app purchases to play, then I delete the game and find another that is a simple buy and play type purchase.

The eyes are actually part of the brain and have computational and comparative circuits built into them. This has been known for many decades.

The buffalo used to toot up a storm...

Hmm... No. I have one of these. It just ate a VHS tape. It does that time to time. Sucks it in and just keeps on grinding the tape to shreds.

I bought this unit for the ability to transfer VHS to DVD. I was not happy with the results.

It is better to just buy DVDs on eBay or used on Amazon for a couple of bucks if your VHS are commercial releases. The quality is far better and it doesn't waste your time. Put the VHS tapes in a time capsule.

Arable land is increasing with global warming as vast amounts of northern land that was once to cold is now accessible to life, both wild and domestic.

The human population growth rate is slowing dramatically. We need more people to be able to think our way out of the big problems that are coming. There is a comet or astroid with our name on it. If you care, breed and educate your children so they can help solve the problems of today and tomorrow.

GMOs as we have them at this point are not sustainable technology so that is rather moot. There is growing evidence that the GMOs are reducing production in addition to the damage their use does to the soil life.

Instead of having big farms each with lots of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, etc we would do far better to have many small farms with fewer animals all out on pasture. All of those animals can be raised on a diet of mostly to all pasture. No commercial grain feeds are needed for any of them. The rise of CAFOs and feedlots was due to an excess of nitrogen and grain. It was all a mistake. Time to correct it.
