Or you could incentivize building up? That'd be a lot easier and wouldn't create more hideous sprawl.

The multitasking functions are very confusing, as are the new multi-finger gestures for performing undo/copy/paste etc. Nothing is obviously discoverable either, it all feels accidental at best, though that's been the case si

That's because opioids remain the single most effective pain treatment that humans have available. People have been using them for 4000+ years, they have a long track record of efficacy (and safety). Managing pain with opioids is not m
