Yeah Rust can do all of those things as well, JavaScript is obviously much more common.

Lenovo ThinkPads are really well built. I'd steer clear of their ideapads though, they're the usual consumer marketed rubbish.

Yeah check out https://cronometer.com/ . It's fantastic for this.

The cost is reasonable, you can get 1tb of storage for around £10 a month. Most Seedboxes will let you install VPN servers on them as well, I'm not sure what you pay for specific VPN software nowadays. So you could theoretically replace Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc and have a VPN.

They're basically required for building ratio on private trackers nowadays.

I wouldn't bother tbh. As soon as you start using it in your torrent client other users can see your IP address anyway.

Seedboxes are a pretty good solution.

No, if they bring it up in conversation respectful questions are fair game.

I don't agree with that, here's a study from Oxford University confirming vegan diets are on average 33% cheaper than omniverous diets.

It can be expensive going vegan if you eat brand name fake meat every day but everyday vegan staples (chickpeas, lentils, beans etc) cost very little.

Just double checked the definition of causal here and I'm pretty sure it is. As the demand for a product falls, less is produced.

I don't think I agree with this, as less people buy meat the demand for it falls. As the demand falls less is produced. Kind of a simple take I guess but I don't think your comment makes sense.

Is there an angle to this that I've missed?

Can you provide another example please? I'm not sure I follow the bucket analogy.

If I choose not to eat meat it lessens the demand for it (however minutely). On a larger scale with many vegans refusing to eat meat less animals are bred into existence to be slaughtered.

What am I missing?

The 'news' thing in the taskbar counts, I think. As does the recommended apps and preinstalled candy crush. It's looking less and less like a professional tool nowadays.

There's a lot of cholesterol in cows milk for a start.
