Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people's lives?

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he's acting against the interests of the US.

I mean, that's all true, and yet they're still light-years ahead of the US...

Also, in guessing this was made by an American, because nobody outside of there would call left parties liberal. Liberal parties are to the right, it's just that the US doesn't actually have an actual left.

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren't buying a piece of software, you're buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn't be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

Hey, Tony, I'll give you five bucks and a swift kick in the nuts for Sony. It's the best offer I ever made for it!

Ik ben Vlaming. Je parle français, English, ein bisschen Deutsch, och jag talar bara lite Svensk. La plupart effectivement appris pour aller en voyage, aussi bien que quelques mots de lituanien (long oublié), et je sais toujours me présenter et commander deux bières en slovaque.

Dvo pivo, prosim!

And they didn't mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.

About bloody time. MS should have been forcibly split up back in the early 2000's when they lost the antitrust case about internet explorer.

Go to boardgamegeek and search for deck builders. Dominion is a pretty strong one. On the more comedic side, I do enjoy wiz-war. Munchkin is a classic.

The finance ministry of the world?

Technically, no, but then they need another source of revenue, because servers at that scale aren't cheap.
