Happens with americans too.. they seem to completely miss sarcasm sometimes. Humour is very cultural (and often plays into things a native of the country would know but someone outside sometimes wouldn't).
There's a lag between human activity and climate change. Rolling out nuclear might have helped a bit, but whether we'd have seen the results today I'm not sure.. the benefits would be in the future.
I doubt cars could have evolved any faster though (well they could, but capitalism, so realistically things went as fast as they could).. so it might not have had much impact at all.
Just before shutdown you're at the terminal so something like this https://github.com/stolk/imcat on the image at the end of shutdown script might work.
Ads pay miniscule amounts per view.. I've heard it said the £12/month sub is about hundreds of times what they get from ad revenue per user. So they spam them everywhere.. the more ads the better.
Which means people block the ads because they're obnoxious, and they make nothing..
I guess this is a way for google to force apple to open the protocol since they can't just open it in the EU, so it affects the US too. But the EU don't have to listen to google.. if imessage is such a minor player they may just leave it alone.
Raid 0 on 3x500GB triples your failure rate (especially important on older drives, as I presume these are), and still won't get anywhere near an SSD in speed.
You could just mount the 3 drives separately and have storage that way, which means if one fails you've still got the data on the other two.. it'd still suck but not as bad as losing everything.
If it was me I'd wait until I could afford the SSD.. it'll be many times faster and newer.
I've really upset the gamer bros here..
