I'm just wondering why do OS need new releases?

Is there really such a huge difference between Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 ? Because I don't see them.

    Caffeine is an addictive substance.

    If you are used to drinking coffee and don't have your daily dose, you will feel terrible. Some people are very sensitive to caffeine and may experience anxiety.

    I'm a caffeine addict so I'm biased here. I should perhaps reduce my coffee intake and switch to tea. I just can't get my self to do it.

    However, studies found coffee is not actually a dangerous addiction:

    I hate to break it to you, but if you ONLY get your news from newspapers, you are getting an intensely biased, compromised, and manipulative perspective

    You think social media is less compromised, less manipulative??

    Across the United States, zoning codes require new developments to provide a minimum number of parking spaces, which carry substantial construction costs.

    In this report, we use 2025 construction cost estimates from Rider Levett Bucknall to calculate the cost per space in 17 U.S. cities and combine these data with local minimum parking requirements to estimate how parking mandates increase total construction costs across building types.

    We find that parking construction costs have risen substantially faster than inflation since 2012 and that required parking can account for a large share of total project costs—adding tens of thousands of dollars per housing unit and, in some cases, increasing total construction costs by more than 50%

    You should know this because one of the reasons Trump’s been trying to use to justify this war is that Iran never said they wouldn’t pursue nuclear weapons.

    Iran doesn’t want to get nukes

    You think a religious dude that just gunned down tens of thousands of his own people is honest?

    Iran has repeatedly denied access to International Nuclear Inspectors:

    I don't like Trump. I don't like Netanyahu. I don't like this stupid war.

    But this idea that Iran just isn't interested in nukes is a joke. They have been absorbing crippling sanctions to enrich uranium far-above civilian grade.

    You know, if the President of this organization told me "We need to bomb Iran", I would not listen to him. Their goal is to stop Iran from obtaining nukes, by any means necessary. It's literally their name.

    But that doesn't mean everything they publish is total non-sense.

    They actually have very knowledgeable people who write interesting reports. You just need to keep a critical eye.

    Far left is against capitalism

    And you think LFI is favorable to capitalism?

    Mélenchon, the leader of LFI:

    "Capitalism is a system that is obsolete. Social democracy is outdated"

    LFI is not considered as far left by the real far left parties

    The leaders of the Anti-Capitalist Party said they would vote for the leader of LFI;
