For one, never thought about it. But now that I am I'm 6'5" and my trash can top maybe comes up to knees, sounds pretty miserable. I guess I could get a bag and set it on the counter though.
The worst part of chopping an onion is removing the skin that always falls to pieces and makes a mess that's hard to pick up. I don't see how this solves that.
Put it into the notification bar instead of demanding focus. That way its on by default, but doesn't interrupt, and is still easily accessible for those who need it.
Can it not be a notification in the notification bar that doesn't demand focus? Also then full screen games suppressing notifications could do it's job.
For me, it's a one time annoyance each time I setup a new computer or reformat mine. I never think about it till the shortcut triggers, and then I disable it. Not world ending, but kinda annoying, and less tech savvy won't know or realize they can disable it despite it saying so in the popup. But I'd be more satisfied if the notice to turn it on would just pop into the notification bar instead of an interrupting popup that must be addressed to return to what you were doing. Sure, let us know about it, but don't pull us out of what we're doing. I in general hate any feature that interrupts your work to make you interact with it instead unless it is extremely critical, and this notification is not.
Why in the hell would anyone bother though? First you got to launch all that mass into a stable orbit. Then you got to assemble the delivery system with the mass as it's most definitely too heavy for a single launch. Then you need fuel to deorbit the mass when you launch because things in stable orbits tend to want to stay there. Then you wait for the mass to deorbit because we couldn't afford to send enough fuel for a rapid deorbit. Also wait to launch till optimal trajectory for your target is achieved and hope that it's not too far side to side from your orbital path because that means even more fuel to deorbit. Also anyone with a halfway decent telescope sees your weapon just sitting there in orbit not to mention being assembled so now it's got a massive target painted on it at all times and is an easy casualty of first strike.
Or we could use the icbm's that are a proven tech, easier to hide though that's not foolproof, can be made mobile, much much more numerous, easier to protect from attack, much cheaper than launching tons of solid metal into orbit, and can strike anywhere on the globe within an hour.
It can be very well executed, but that doesn't change that it's a movie nobody really asked for. Unless there is demand to see it then it doesn't matter how well done it is. And endorcements of "it's actually good despite expectations" doesn't really generate a lot of excitement either.
It would be more challenging if they left the trees in place anyway.
That sounds just like tipping, but with more steps. And also the resteraunt skimming a chunk of it too I'm sure. 18% service fee so we can pay 8% higher wages.
It's because the system is designed to keep us paid just enough to live and keep buying from companies, but not enough to have true independence. Working two jobs is cheating that system by giving you more money and freedom than they want you to have. Once you have financial security you can start to wonder about how fucked up this "system" truly is.
