Do you know that most successful countries in the world are social-democracies right? Like most of Europe. You don't need to go full communist or follow the red party book to incorporate the good bits of modern social-democratic practices to counter bad capitalism abuse. Im not a communist or "socialist" btw (assuming the typical American biased understand of those terms).

Maybe you're right, but I remember than in the 2000s I've had identical cpu heatsinks in both copper/aluminum versions, and the aluminum one had better performance. And then they started to make hybrid ones, stating that the copper part was to allow rapid heat transference and the aluminum parts to improve dissipation. But maybe it was all marketing.

Copper is better conductor but it's worse at dissipation. Do the experience yourself, heat a block of each and then touch them afterwards.

Why copper? Aluminum works way better as a dissipation surface.

Companies don't remember or learn. People come and go and after a software lifecycle everything is forgotten as the top management gets refreshed.

In my case those almost never pass. Maybe you're the only one exclusively working on that system...? When you're one of a number of contractors competing to do something in software that cannot be regulated, you're basically screwed.

Did this credit card score in the US come from a Black Mirror episode or something? Sure we have companies (in the EU) doing some customer scoring checks beforehand (for some utilities or services), but they operate mostly by accessing shared black lists from past collections systems or something, and I'm ok with that. But this US system looks scary!

For me its about what you said: processed is adding stuff to preserve and "improve". Nothing bad about frozen basic ingredients that arent cooked. Also in my country fresh veggies and fruit are cheaper than frozen ones.
