I think you're too rigid with your definitions. I just showed you an example of where water, usually not countable, is used in a plural form in real world usage.
Regardless of whether the noun is countable, the thing itself (water, air) absolutely is countable, i.e., comes in discrete measurable amounts, which is the more important issue here.
Language is a flexible thing. I heard this in a children's game of tag, "Octopi, Octopi, can I cross your waters?"
And you can count air too, either by volume or amount of molecules.
They are indeed... Where did the whole "if two bike lanes converge" question come from??
I was going to make the same joke.
"Fewer. I mean more. More bike lanes."
No, water is countable. Unfortunately you are incorrect.
EDIT: the word "water" isn't usually made plural, but water the substance can absolutely be measured and counted.
There is a good Adam Savage video on yt about the engineering of the thunderbolt or whatever cables.
They still should be shipped in bulk to the store but it makes more sense why they wouldn't be given away free
Afaik they're a discount brand? That you have to buy from Newegg? But I'm glad there is at least one option!
Lol they absolutely are subsidized. Look how expensive non-smart TVs are new
From reading the comments, I think you could be a lot leaner by selling the $100 setup fee, and telling people which "kit" is supported, and they buy that on their own.
That way you don't have to deal with any of the physical infrastructure of buying/selling/storing hardware, and people can do some customization.
However I do think you'd need to put some restrictions in place so that people don't buy cheap crap that doesn't work and expect you to set it up and support it. They have to buy the kit or other compatible hardware.
I'm not sure what services you'd support, but personally I'd be interested in something like a personal introduction and setup of
Maybe migration of
You could make different prices depending on what service they want, kind of like a bike stop.
I wouldn't want a perpetual subscription, but I could stomach something like $100 setup + $5/mo for limited support for a year.
Best thing for me is that community support also exists for all these things too, but it's hard to do it on your own sometimes.
We say this now but in 5 years, cars could go the way of smart TVs... sold at prices subsidized by advertisers.
Yeah instead of an arms race it's a weight race
Thanks for succinctly explaining what thunderbolt is
I am really confused why you think you can't count how much water is in your glass? Can you explain that?
