Hardware is repairable, difficulty depends on the mode of failure but if the port itself is faulty that's a pretty easy fix most of the time as long as you can get your hands on a suitable replacement which are (usually) pretty cheap

I think the pertinent question is do we just stop having social workers?

How about the choice to do something that simply needs to be done?

So if I smoked myself stupid again, why am I a PhD candidate studying neuropsychopharmacology? You must be a special kind of brilliant

I'm glad we have computer experts like you on the internet sharing your expertise on neuropharmacology

I don't know about that, I did multiple degrees and I'm working on a PhD and I smoke and use edibles all the time. I know other people who are similar.

Almost like cannabis use is independent of productivity and the lazy stoner stereotype is a drug war myth, weird huh

You realize books also have lines of text? Why do you think # of lines = # books sold?

Not # books sold = # of copies of software sold?
