I would assume (hope, anyway)

that the Power Plant was built somewhere relatively free of geological/weather/etc. risk too.

Your equipment is supplied by the lowest bidder.

Will they never learn? No, the act of learning requires a level of sentience above what what the bulk of humanity have evolved at this point in time.

Apple tax

To be fair, that additonal money might be to cover the extra support that Macs need in a locally managed environment. Macs work great as stand-alone computers, but the moment you try to put a centralised management system between them and Apple HQ, they are a whole world of pain and torment for users and administrators alike!

It's simple.

Use greek letters and dingbats. Or even all these emoji that are cluttering up unicode these days!

Seriously people! Isn't assuming the only thing .bro could imply is the 'Bro' culture the true horribly sexist attitude? I would use .bro and not .br on principle against that alone.

The last time I encountered this level of explicitly-willfull-stupidity in the human race it was taking witchcraft testimony from a horse. And I am pretty sure the people making the PC fuss are exactly the types who would have kept themselves occupied in centuries past having women they didn't like the look or sound of burned alive 'for their own good'!

*Nus, noun - from a Sherry S. Tepper novel - Acronym: 'No Useful Skills'. Used to describe people with that attribute.

Where's mine then?

1984 called. They want their dystopia back!

That's our department of immigration, allright!

Seriously!

The way people over here are going on about it all you'd think it actually made any difference who has the words 'Prime Minister' before their name. They are still answerable to the party which is in turn answerable to the same sponsors.

Printer driver incompatibility.

Should have listened to RMS!

Not really doing anything

in a looking-like-doing-something kind of way.

how mature we are as a species

You owe me one new keyboard (a Bat Chordable one).

While there are certainly individuals of maturity (and even intelligence and integrity) in the population, taken as a species.... There is a reason if there is intelligent life out there it isn't contacting us, even if it knows we are here.
