That’s kind of a terrible examples for trying to point out that something is blatantly obvious. Sky colouration can go through an entire spectrum of colours depending on how much atmosphere the light is travelling through, what particles in the air and other atmospheric conditions.

That record is across all F-15 models, not just the E variant.

You know, like the F-15s.

If I wanted to use their services but I don’t have pancreatic cancer, yet what’s the best way to get it?

I already don’t drink coffee :(

What are they even making?

Even if you’re at home and do have a CD player it’s just not practical. Sure, if you only listen to a handful of CDs that’s workable.

But my current music collection would require 1400+ CDs … and good luck finding a specific song in that pile, even if you do know the exact album it’s on. It’s so much better to just have a searchable library.

You can still keep the CDs around for archive purposes, but to me CDs are no longer a viable option for actual media playback.

Which slot? Where?

The one shaped like the thing …

Format a drive? What’s that?

Depending on your setup it will even promt you do do this, all you have to do is click a couple of dialogs. Or lookup like a 5 step guide on the internet.

Your assuming a tech literacy that simply doesnt exisit in the general populace.

I think I’m making a very reasonable assumption about tech literacy here … yours might just be below the general populace.

Even if you don’t use a USB one, you basically just put the thing in the slot and start up the machine, maybe it needs some formatting. It’s not brain surgery. Again, it still easily beats dealing with unmanageable number of CDs.

Everyone old enough knows how to handle a CD.

Actually, more and more people are too young to know how to handle CDs these days.

I don’t consider HDDs physical media per se.

Ok. But I can touch mine … they seem very physical.

No one is handing down hard drives or selling them at yard sales

Because it’s easier to just copy the data to someone else’s drive, no need to physically hand it over. Also you can still keep the CDs after copying them to another medium.

Because its information overload

That seems more like a personal problem than a technical one.

It has no resale value. And if that HDD dies or you die and your family doesn’t know how to use it or how to decrypt it, its useless.

Have you looked at HDD prices recently? You can definitely resell them. The ones I bought 3 years ago now cost double the price! And all data should be backup anyway so you don’t lose anything on a disc failure. And the last point can be addressed by either just not encrypting your drive or leave the proper instructions behind.

All in all those are minor inconveniences compared to dealing with thousand of CDs.

A decent music library would require thousands of CDs, it would be a huge hassle. Why deal with that when you can just copy all of that to one hard drive?

Those are rookie numbers, you need to up your game!

It wouldn’t. That’s why have to ask politicians to make laws that forces Facebook to do it anyway.

By closing the accounts? Facebook doesn’t need to know who you are in real life to ban you.

Nope, at least one account per service.

You can even have multiple account per service (very common to have multiple ones on different instances).

It’s not just about defending the Netherlands but all of NATO, which involves deploying Dutch planes to eastern Europe, close to Russian AA systems for example.

I can’t wait for all the new Perun, William Spaniel and CaspianReport videos in the coming weeks!

France and Germany are basically arguing over who should lead the project. Also the French want to make the plane carrier capable, which is a requirement no one else involved needs and wants to spend money on.

Yeah, that makes sense.
