Linux only has 0.3% market share in Antarctica unfortunately
I wonder how realistic that is; almost all of the science people I've met run Linux

To everyone who hates the concepts of landlords and rent, what counts as being a landlord?
If you are engaging with housing as an investment vehicle, you are part of the reason why there is a global housing crisis.
Housing is a human right and should be legislated as such.

Ordinary Object
This is very much "I am 14 and this is deep" territory.
Adjectives describe. By using them, we are emphasising a quality of a given thing. That does not make it the "default state" (a problematic concept) of that object, even if it is a desirable quality.
The "default state" of food is that it is edible, ie. that it can be eaten, as food is defined as that which is edible.
there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch
Visible. Tactile.
Noisy
Even by OPs logic, "noise" is not one of the senses. Audible is the correct word here.

This is more "Why do Americans do that weird thing where they cage their dogs".
I had a dog in an apartment, no cage. Had no problems. Never understood why Americans do that.

What has your experience of death taught you?
Whelp, I've got cancer. It's the second time I've had it. About 9 months ago I was told the docs would treat me but I probably wouldn't make it.
Its been a hell of a time.
It's a blood cancer so at the moment I look normal from the outside. I've changed a lot though, in the sense that I've become more me.
I don't give a shit about anything except for spending time with people I like. I especially don't care about money or work.
It (death) is taking a lot longer to happen than I thought it would.
The real trip has been seeing other people's reactions; I accepted it early on but other people have had very different reactions. Mostly I think they just don't know how to react, or they don't think it will actually happen, or both.
I don't think the human mind is capable of understanding the concepts of "eternity" or "oblivion" very well.
I do believe in God but it's still scary.
Its the everyday things that catch you off guard; the other day I was wondering when the next soccer world cup would be, then I realised I probably wouldn't be around for it.
I think when I finally die it will be a relief from all the physical pain.
