Great story … thanks for sharing

At one point, you’re ordering a milkshake with a shot of coffee flavour

I’m in Canada and just about everyone I know love Tim Hortons, a shitty coffee fast food place that is everywhere here.

A cup of coffee to most of these people is a large double double (20oz coffee with two sugar and two cream) but most people tolerate the sugar and fat so much that they’ll up it with more sugar and cream. I know a few people who do triple triple or start going higher.

I once offered to buy a nurse at a hospital a coffee, she was a short, petite middle aged woman and I thought she’d ask for a smaller coffee … she asked for a large six cream, seven sugar.

Didn’t the British do a similar thing to Pakistan a hundred years ago?

How about instead of trying every complicated stupid way to regulate users and especially children … you regulate and control companies and corporations instead.

Wow … I think AskJeeves was the first major search engine I relied on when I first started going online. That and ‘Dogpile’. I remember a friend of ours bugging me to check out a thing called ‘Google’ at the time.

It’s not “Gmail can read your emails” … Gmail has been reading your emails for years.

Yeah … it’s best to grab what money you can now and run … because you won’t be able to later

That’s one of the great things about switching to Linux … it forces you to learn something new and for kids that is a very good thing.

All those kids in the school that OP described were getting stagnant in a settled environment of living in Windows … now that they have Linux in front of them, they will go on to learn how to subvert the system under Linux. It’s not a bad thing in my opinion, it will create a whole crop of kids who now know how to fool around with Windows AND Linux.

I wish someone would have introduced me to Linux when I was kid.
