And here I thought, oh, maybe they head into civil engineering, law, chem, or bio and make a contribution to society there.

On one hand, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. On the other hand, infrastructure is crumbling and out of date.

It is possible to restore the old notepad.

I didn’t include a link because I could not find a non-spammy one, but a search finds a few. I did it on my work PC.

Community owned, not nationalized.

I’m very happy with my community owned ISP (fiber to every house in my town)

Part it the other way ;)
