Because, as a senior, you usually already know intuitively what a good solution looks like, and you can quickly discard model responses or suggestions that do not align with it.

Unsolicited advertising is a form of violence, the sooner we agree on that, the better.

We need an Executive Order banning all ads on appliances and car infotainment systems.

In this administration?

Probably more likely to see a EO on requiring those things

This is not our democratic will. This is the result of the league and the ISPs lobbying very agressively in favour of the blocks.

Everyone is welcome to speak against them :)

This is not an age issue, despite looking like one. This is a matter of agressive lobbying, and putting tons of cash on the case. Major ISPs also offer sports (football) subscriptions, so they are also interested in applying the block.

Everything is paid by the customer. As a manufacturer I can temporaly absorb some costs to keep prices steady, but at some point, I have to adjust prices to maintain a reasonable margin.

A cold start from zero generation took 6 to 10 h. No casualties, hospitals and crtitical infrastructure kept working all day.

Whatever the cause, this has been a great test of the emergency protocols.

I would buy a "tool" that solves a problem significantly better than its competitors, but I usually ditch options that are marginally better o cheaper if I feel a personal moral conflict.

Just to honour the Godwin law, take the Eduard Pernkopf anatomy manual as an example, a fascinating example of this discussion.

There is always a tipping point where practicality beats purity, and I think it's ok trying to stretch it, respecting other's choices in the way of course. No need to judge.
