Having recovered a dead body from the bottom of a lake, I can positively affirm it’s not good for you.

Meh, close enough.

Everything needs warnings because if used incorrectly they will do damage to you in some way. where do warning end?

Perhaps or perhaps not. Every new desk top was going to be better than Gnome when introduced. I remember having such high hopes for Elementary back in the day too. It was so elegant and smooth to use.

Only if it becomes the default install of the major distros. That, I think is a major hurdle, not even KDE has been able to leap that.

Because it’s what we have to send. It’s not like we have a lot of extra Sherman tanks we can send anymore.

There is rail and I’m pretty sure Russia still has plenty of cargo/transport planes that would be capable.

Everyone lives through history. But few live to see so many wrenching changes as his generation did. The best I can say I lived through was the beginning of the internet and the inter-connection of every person on the planet.

Same for my Great-Grandfather, but it was much more than that when I look at his life.

Went from horse and buggies and steam trains, lived through 2 world wars, saw rural electrification - 1930s for him - bring lights and washing machines and telephones, survived his own pandemic - Spanish Flu 1918-1919, saw the invention of automobiles, radios, and TVs, heavier than air flight, the Great Depression, the beginnings of the digital world, and watched the Moon Landings with me sitting in his favorite chair in our living room.

When he died, no one really knew how old he was - there was no official record of his birth certificate since he was born at home in a very rural area. While I’m old myself now and have seen some few changes, I cannot fathom the sheer number of societal upheavals and disruptions he went through every decade of his life.
