Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.

Exactly. More specifically, I'm not afraid of how people vote, I'm afraid of people choosing not to.

That would be great, but what does it have to do with Israel/Palestine?

And realistically, what the fuck is the Canadian government going to do? Go to war with Israel and by extension the US?

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don't feel like paying? If you can't answer "yes" to all these questions, you aren't the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

Here's a thought: do electric cars count as automatic or the most manual cars possible? On the one hand, there's no clutch or stick shift, but on the other hand, if you want to change gears, you have to disassemble the transmission and change out the gears.

I was thinking about desktops, where the fan would be physically plugged into a fan controller instead of into the motherboard. Not sure what that would look like with a laptop.

I was mainly asking because some of those fan controllers default to full on when the usb connection is absent, and Windows doesn't enable all usb connections until after the user logs into the system.

Do you have your fans controlled by the bios or a fan controller?

There is no "they". Manufacturers respond to whet people are buying, and try to predict where that trend will go. If that trend went towards different keyboard layouts, they'd do it. None of them have any actual vested interest in a given keyboard layout.

Yeah. It's one of those things where while a different solution is technically better, the benefit doesn't come close to outweighing the effort of changing for the overwhelming majority of people. And so the status quo remains.

I'd say it's got less to do with making money off the status quo, and more to do with lack of money in any of the alternatives. Most people can't type fast enough for extra layout efficiency to matter, and even fewer people care.

Nope. Those are the "purebred" ones. You know, the kind of purebred that actually means inbred to the point of barely being able to survive and yet somehow "worth" more.
