<p>Monsanto knows this, they have known it for a while. It's a similar case to the teflon "issue".</p>

<p>People who have been exposed to the chemical got cancer. Internal Monsanto documents  show the link and their concern. A man got a court to rule in his favour for 289 million dollars, after the jury saw this evidence: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/10/monsanto-trial-cancer-dewayne-johnson-ruling" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/10/monsanto-tr...</a></p>

<p>I do the same, video game sessions are great for refocusing, specially for weekends. Friday night gaming will take my mind off work. Early Saturday exercise allows me to start the weekend well. Given that I can leave your laptop at work, I try to have another computer at home so there is no way for me to access work email. I also snooze all work notifications in my phone. That gives me space to work on my own projects during the weekend and reclaim my mind's focus.<p>Gaming is just one of the things but an important activity.</p>

<p>At home we had 16 mb at that time on a PC Pentium clocked at 90 Mhz. This much RAM was insane at that time. I'm impressed Apple allowed for so much RAM.<p>I remember that some sticks would come out damaged so I used to test them with memtest86. I solved an issue where my PC would restart suddenly because of a bad stick.</p>

Example, modern history--> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_history" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_history</a><p>Maybe a historian named this period as such in the history of computing.</p>

<p>I bet they administered themselves atropine soon after.<p>But your theory is really cool, each of them had half of the nerve gas, the second's hand would have been contaminated. This thing will go through your skin.</p>

<p>You are right in music the older catalogue is reused more often.<p>Netflix can produce a series which you will watch once and seldom see again. New content is king.<p>In music you mix old with new. If you lose the old content you will greatly limit the listening experience.</p>

<p>Loved this quote:<p>"One night a friend lent me a book of short stories by Franz Kafka. I went back to the pension where I was staying and began to read The Metamorphosis. The first line almost knocked me off the bed. I was so surprised. The first line reads, “As Gregor Samsa awoke that morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. . . .” When I read the line I thought to myself that I didn’t know anyone was allowed to write things like that. If I had known, I would have started writing a long time ago."</p>
