That’s what it’s become. But, hear me out, what if I want the hardware without the software? Tough luck? Both are so tied together that if the company pulls the rug you don’t have reasonable access to the hardware.

Hey man, the best way to quit smoking is to never start in the first place. Heh heh heh.

Yeah it’s way more work to have to clean up unless you don’t mind your bathroom smelling of piss.

Man, why can’t people allow other people to do whatever they want with their own body? If you want me to call you Turbs, the sly cat from furryland, you got it, buddy.

Yep, quarter hours are how we normally function today. Which is fine and I wholly agree. You still need the second for that system to function though, as you can’t get that without measuring time.

The only thing is that it severely limits the options to meet somewhere when all you got is dawn, noon, and dusk.

Ah, when new companies still have that human soul smell.
