why not distribute the load to society and just have fleets of cars you borrow whenever you need one? Like a vehicle library.

There are companies that do this. Zipcar is one I’ve used for short-term car rentals to go get groceries while I was in college.

Quick recap, in quidditch, scoring goals scores 10 or 20 points, catching the snitch scores 150 points

Idk how canon this is, but I remember a quidditch computer game I used to play (on Windows XP) where usually when you scored your team would get the ball through the hoops multiple times in rapid succession, so scoring like 5 times in a row. Like if in basketball, if your team caught the ball after making a hoop you could pass it back and shoot again. That at least makes the point value of the snitch less egregious. Everything else you mentioned is very true though.

I mean so is MP3. If you really want to be a non-proprietary purist you need to rely on Opus for a lossy audio compression, which is not as widely supported in music players as MP3 or AAC.

How is AAC proprietary?

iTunes sells drm-free music downloads. The still do, if you go to the iTunes Store and not the Apple Music streaming surface.

There are better options out there though, like BandCamp.

The game “Air Brawl” on Steam is a dogfighting game with airplanes with different weapons. One of them has a big hammer you use to wack other airplane.

I buy stuff from Ebay and Etsy plenty often.

I try to keep everything I care about in one folder that is backed up regularly, so it’s not such a big deal to reinstall the OS.

TBF 0C and 0F are kinda arbitrary values.

This is a good ad for their “advanced protection” feature

I feel like the human numbers should include things like car accidents
