Suppose this thing succeeds wildly. It sells a hundred million copies, they become a world-bestriding colossus.
It's now a competitor to Microsoft, running Microsoft software.
That's not a good place to be. I think this thing is dead as a concept.

Huh, this is the exact design of some of the bathrooms at SFU. I wonder if it's fairly common?
I guess English isn't a language in the same way that male isn't a gender and white isn't a race and hetero isn't an orientation.

Could hand-crank it.
Comments like this are why I'm so happy I can share Lemmy atuff on Mastodon. Well done!
Oh yeah. I sometimes ask my partner to take a sip of her coffee. She asks me why I punish myself. She takes it plain black, and we get it from a ton of different places.
I've tried larger amounts to see if my palate adjusts, but it never really has. Granted, I could try harder, but there comes a point at which it's just not worth the effort. Tea is fine. Even shitty generic black teabags are okay as long as you don't steep them longer than 20-30 seconds, and maybe bulk them up with a bit of sugar and salt to cut the bitterness. Too easy to overextract them and they're usually extracted with fresh-boiling water, which is a little too hot.
I love how coffee smells, and heavily diluted in an icecap or something, it's fine.
Straight up, though? Disgusting. I've tried for years to develop the taste for it. No dice.
A well prepared tea just goes down easier.
Even a caffeine free green tea is a step above hot water. And I'll drink straight hot water on a cold day in a pinch.
