My ex and I worked on a birth plan for our second child after her experience with our first was deeply unsatisfying. We discussed home birth but I insisted on a birthing center attached to a hospital in case something went sideways. She found an OB who listened to her, and we made clear what our birthing plan was, and that was respected by the medical staff. As it happened, the labor was smooth and relatively quick, and home birth would have been fine. I’m still glad we were at a facility where there would have been no lag between a problem arising and a doctor being able to address it.

Nah, Thanos was moderately competent.

IIRC, vista got hate because to run it a massive number of users would have to…upgrade…their…hardware.

Somewhat related, I just started Spanish lessons using Language Transfer. Fewer bells and whistles but it’s human centric.
