Pretty fast, from my understanding, because you're pumping water through a membrane, and the pumps can be turned on and off quite fast.

The maintenance costs are also quite high though, from my understanding.

Yes, there are Win 10 machines still being sold, and because they aren't eligible to upgrade to 11, they're dirt cheap. I suspect this is the main driver behind Win 10 growing market share.

but honestly that just sounds like an irrational fear.

Are you aware of what the definition of a phobia is?

There's something hilarious about the author's disappointment to find out they're British, and nothing else.

Can't say I blame them though.

This is something I've never really stopped to think about until now, but this artwork is actually a piece of genius.

It's an idea, or a concept, expressed in the form of a banana taped to a wall. It cannot be destroyed, or duplicated. You can tape a banana to a wall, but there can be only one banana taped to a wall. You can destroy the banana, the tape, or even the wall, and the artwork remains, because you cannot destroy an idea. In fact, someone already has eaten the banana.

Furthermore, everyone talking about it merely increases the value of the piece.

It's absolutely genius.

Having been in areas where homeless people gather, they can be an unpleasant bunch, if not outright hostile. I get why things like that happen.

We had a ferry run aground because the bridge crew couldn't figure out how to turn the autopilot off, and now it turns out we lost a naval vessel through a similar mistake.

Our armed forces really are a joke.

Is it really the same artwork, in that case?

I mean, we have a competition where we judge people on their looks, and then expect them to also be smart.

Yeah, it's kinda sad actually. It's also nothing different to what Waymo etc are doing, but whatevs.

Eh, young women have been lusting after fictional characters like Mr Darcy, likely for as long as we've had literature.

These fictional characters can talk back, but it's not really anything new.

I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.
