[23:51:44] <exec> 08└─I am finding a similar thing with cars as well. As cars get more and more complex and hard to repair, not to mention more and more hard to debug/fix without expensive factory "debug software", more and more people are going for older cars. The number of problems my colleagues have with new cars from...

[23:51:56] <exec> 08└─Yes. Sometimes allowing people to do whatever they please does not lead to the greatest amount of freedom, such as when companies dump toxins into water supplies, or do other things which harm people. A far greater number of people would have freedom if DRM were banned.

You can train them to do exactly what you want to do, they are useful for other things, fun to be around, and they aren't that much slower for fields with a lot of rocks, turns, etc. Big straight-run farms like mine? Instead of 2 corn acres a day, mine and my nei...
