    My mom told me recently that I could go harvest Strawberries from a field and pay for each Kilo I harvest, but while I am harvesting I am allowed to eat as many strawberries as I want. I somehow still feel like this is not legit and there needs to be some sort of miscommunication.

      Well, you are essentially paying extra in terms of the time involved, so I suppose it wouldn’t be too surprising that some places might allow you to do things like eat along the way since you can only eat so much in a sitting :)

        As a Linux user I forgot that time is something valuable. But now I believe more what I got told.

          Haha, for me at least I think I ended up wasting way more time fighting Windows when I was trying to do development on it. Though I have come to the conclusion that no operating system is safe from bizarre, utterly inexplicable behavior

            Thats why ended up using Arch after so many distrohops over 3 years. (I can’t predict what is wrong on a Ubuntu or Fedora, just too hardcoded without proper documentation or wiki)

            I never did dev on Windows except Python as a teen which should work good enough on Windows. But after using Linux for too long, the work experience I did was pain because of no relaxing features and everything crashed constantly.

    Yeah, there aren’t violent psychopaths trying to destroy farm fields. The shortsightedness of self-righteous people is always hilarious to me. They didn’t think for even a nanosecond past what they thought was a massive gotcha.
