Or they'll just pay the extra money and avoid all that.

Market cap? Which stock symbol is it? 😉
I've said it before - an insurgency in the Rocky Mountains would be an absolute nightmare for an occupier.

Linux has some advantages in that a lot of the basic stuff, someone from 1985 would pick it up pretty fast, I think. Commandlines are very conservative. I have scripts I haven't changed in 15 years.
Entering the lion's den to offer the lion a handjob and offer Alberta as tribute, more like.
The math is pretty simple. We're travelling at 25km/sec around the sun. You have to get that to zero to hit the sun. Getting to Jupiter means getting up to like 37km/sec (made up number). Way easier.
edit: I looked it up because it didn't feel right. Outer planets move SLOWER the farther out you go because gravity is weaker and they don't need as much angular momentum. So the math isn't quite as simple as that. :)
Seconds are already an SI unit. We'd have to redo every textbook, and overcome centuries of work.
I like right hand rule. Thumb in direction you want the bolt to go, out or in. Fingers curve in the direction you need to turn.
Yeah, which is why I added the note about cleaning power per unit volume. But it'd have to be a fair bit more powerful to make the effort worth it, I think.
We use maybe 50ml of Tide (so that'd be probably 100 loads) when doing our laundry, so if that's equivalent to like one tablespoon of the Borax mix, I could see it saving me $20 or so overall, if it's three times stronger.
So it'd come down to how much time I spend shopping and combining the mixture vs just buying it.
Mind, that's just the borax. Bar soap and baking soda are cheap but not free.
(edit: and before someone jumps on me about "baking soda", I was thinking of it in terms of decomposing it into carbonate in the oven. I haven't priced out washing soda)
Pepper-pepper-pepper asiago sourdough bread. 4% toasted and ground peppercorns, 20% asiago cheese, 1% garlic powder, generous pinch of Japanese shichimi (7spice) and red pepper flakes. Probably 85% hydration.
This is my unnamed sourdough starter blorping away on the counter in its charming green mason jar. About to go back into the fridge for two weeks.
Almost feels like I should tag this one NSFW.
Someone cut through all the cables on the Library microfiche station this weekend. Some people. :(
Yeah, we've got on-prem cloud hosting at a university, and moving away from VMware is an ongoing process. Still. Two, three years after the writing was on the wall. They'd rather pay the Danegeld.
