It may help if you try to sound like you almost liked it, but don't. "It's not really my thing," "Tried it, but I just don't love it," and "it just never really worked for me" are examples. Explaining that you feel like you have given it all the chance it needs, and ultimately decided it's not for you. You're not trying to emphasize negativity, just a lack of positivity, if that makes sense. This helps avoid implied criticism of someone else's tastes while conveying your preference.

You would probably get condensation on the duct itself but since the inside of the computer would be warmer than the incoming air, there would be no condensation on or near the electronics.

"You can't even order black coffee anymore" is a common Conservative fantasy. OP definitely has a victim complex.

The difference is that in going to the past you have some idea of how things played out and what changes might matter. The changes that come up in time travel discussions are things like "kill this person before they do anything" or "let this guy into art school" or "cancel this one particular flight." By the time the real consequences of possible small changes are known, you need more than small changes to acheve your objective.

Even immersing the car doesn't really stop it, it kind of just pauses the fire. When it's surfaced again and starts to dry it tends to self ignite again for a very long time. EV fires are extremely difficult to stop right now and the procedure usually boils down to "Let it burn itself out and keep everything around it from catching too."

The solution to people not wanting to haul garbage was to pay them enough that it's worth doing anyway, same as with all the rest of the jobs people really don't WANT to do. Garbage haulers sure as shit aren't paid minimum wage, I'll tell you that right now.

Nobody WANTS to crawl into a sewer and use a pressure washer to break up a massive chunk of congealed fat, human excrement and "flushable" wipes as human waste splatters all over them, but as with most things if you offer an enticing enough reward someone will eventually do it for the paycheck. And there are lots of jobs like this, miserable things that need to get done and nobody wants to do, but they're important for a functioning society. You might find some people who would do it just out of passion for mopping sick off yet another floor, but you'll never find enough people who want to do that more than they want to do anything else. You also won't find people widely enough distributed to cover all the needs, you just can't assume every single town has a core of people so dedicated to the idea of handling hazardous biowaste regularly to staff all the required positions purely for the love of it.

There are already incentives to "optimize" these awful tasks away, the very means of their completion is and has been to just throw heaps of money at the problem. Being the one to fix it forever for everyone would come with heaps of money getting thrown at you, and yet it still isn't done. You're certainly not going to encourage even more problem solving to problems that already exist by eliminating any existing reward system. If they didn't fix it for the reward of being set for life, they're not about to fix it just because they had nothing better to do.

Imagine thinking that only minorities can stand up for minority rights. What's your suggestion then, that White people have no business doing anything but maintaining the status quo, because it's not their place to speak out for others?

It's fucked up, Cutco knives are actually pretty good. I have a set myself, along with some other stuff on theirs, but the MLM sales scheme is just such dogshit. It's a weird case where it's a good product that I absolutely would not suggest to a friend.
