I can confirm from experience, Canadians have pretty poor knowledge of history and world geography. Also, I did more physics and chemistry by the end of high school than first year university students.
As for university level, I was taking (and passing) master level classes while being half though my French Engineering school (where I went as deep as taking quantum physics course a year before).
Also, at $WORK, we went though intern resume recently, and the level is pretty laughable as well, eg. "Practical knowledge: resistor, capacitor and power drill". [sic]
If you really want to get into tech, buy yourself a 4 years old laptop, an internet connection, and start coding. If you are not capable to survive by yourself in tech, you are doomed to fail.
* The replicatiors shortcoming for complex structure is merely a production limit, same goes with the gold pressed-latinum conveniently introduced in DS9
Everybody doesn't get the same stuff. The show only focuses on the elites, not on the low ranking grunt work / red shirt.
People don't choose the job they want, especially not in Starfleet... Go back to my previous argument, you'd have to be mad to choose to be a red shirt on an away mission...
So what's the point ? Linux is a niche market. Mac & Windows will be the vast majority of your users and won't enjoy your killer kernel-based feature...
"Assault" weapon has never been used as in "assaulting" someone, but as in "a squad assaulting an enemy position", implying weapons capable of fully-automatic suppressive fire. Which really is nowhere what civilians can get access... unless you want to spend >$20k on a pre-1986 firearm.
Take it the other way, I'm not gonna sink $35k on an EV vehicle (plus yearly insurance) when my current SUV costed me about $10k overall (including maintenance), in which I'm regularly making roadtrips.
And for the sake of argument, I just scored a free third hands 17 years old car. I'm gonna have to fix it, but that's gonna be a great beater.
Oh, and I'll never be able to move by myself, or to move large items (cast iron table saw, drill press, bandsaw etc.) in any EV shit.
