  • Europe has better passenger rail. America has superior cargo rail. That’s why US passenger rail is inferior, the trains all have to run in cargo company’s tracks. Additionally, due to the ubiquity of power even of a country 26 times the size, I’d say America does it better. Plus, Japan has two grids and thus incompatible appliances between north and south, I do NOT consider that a win!

    Depends on you define best or known for when it comes to cars. Sure a BMW is nice but a Lexus will last twice as long for a fifth the price and is good.

    And bread, for invention, depends on whether or not you count leavened and unleavened separately. In terms of best, French bread is definitely S tier though.







  • You see, but for a windows power user, Microsoft’s obstacles are minor. I can’t transition because I have my most used Universal Windows Tweaker or WinAero tweaker registry edits written down for every clean install. Microsoft Activation Scripts 1.8 allows me to use anything from Windows for Education to Pro for Workstations. I don’t find it inflexible, I bend it to my will without difficulty because it’s what was the standard and I learned inside and out. I haven’t transitioned to Linux because I can’t maintain the same ability without relearning a new OS.


  • I am a windows power user because Linux just plain doesn’t do what I expect it to.

    Call me an idiot or inexperienced, but trying to transition over and do everything I can on windows doesn’t happen. When I first tried Linux in middle school, I couldn’t manage to install a single program. Software that should work doesn’t, and I still sympathize with Linus Sebastian typing in “Yes, do as I say” when all he thought he was doing was installing Steam. I’d love to transition over my daily OS to Linux, but I’m already in so deep with a million custom tools for Windows and a decade of in-depth and occupational knowledge it would be a pain to start from scratch.
