Agreed. For all the downsides people point out with Mac’s, they handle this and battery life quite well. My daily driver is a Mac, and everything I connect to runs some flavor of Linux. Then there’s the Windows 11 thing my work foists upon me.

I have a feeling if there’s anything incriminating for him in there, she already knows about it.

Unless Liberty is straight up stupid, they won’t let Apple put F1 entirely behind a season pass paywall (not a prediction, they could very well be that stupid). F1 has worked a very long time to build the popularity they have in the US. To get it and immediately alienate what fans they’ve managed to get would be the pinnacle of enshittificaton. Personally, i hope don’t hire Buxton to host their coverage.

Usually some TV show while I scroll the last 6 hours of Lenny and eat breakfast. Until it was recently cancelled, the TV show was After Midnight. Now I have a backlog of over 400 Jeopardy shows saved off on Tablo. That or catching up on Taskmaster.

English is fluid. Give it time.

This was my immediate thought. An M1 Mac laptop is still a very useable laptop, and the battery life on them is fantastic.

T480s is my backup work laptop. Runs Linux fine (have had Ubuntu, currently Fedora 42). Runs windows 11 like shit, but then my primary P1 gen 4 also doesn’t run 11 much better, so…

While you’re generally right, the T-series is a solid business laptop. Only thing I would add is steer clear of anything with “Yoga” in the name. They can be sleek, but very few of those ever impressed me.

Thinkpad T, P, W, & X (Carbon) are generally pretty solid, though T & X probably better fit OP’s preference for portability. The T series is/was also user upgradable (memory and SSD), usually pretty easily. I think some of the carbon models were also upgradable, but can’t remember. Cruicial’s website is very helpful with this. If the laptop has “Idea” or “Yoga” in the name, it’s more than likely trash. There were some “higher end” Yoga models, but AFAIR none were upgradable.

But Damone said side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV should be played “whenever possible!” /s

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Nord. They are kind of disliked here because they’re not open source and they did a lot of commercials not long ago. Despite all that, they’ve publicly reported multiple third-party audits of their code, which I think is a good thing.

For me, I like to make it for t o reasons. First, in opposition to your first point, it does make the bed more comfortable. I can skip a day, but any more and the covers are too messed up for me to be comfortable. I don’t sleep like Lenin or Dracula. I’m a side sleeper and I roll around multiple times in the night, but I like the room cold at night, so I like the covers in place.

Second, I learned this from a grand parent I think, and I passed it on to my kids. If it’s the first thing you do in the day you’ve started the day on a good note. You completed something. Admittedly, when I was younger, this didn’t matter to me at all. As I’ve gotten older, it makes a little bit more difference.

Exactly, which gets back to my point. Their whole platform is they’re not as crazy as the Republicans. Which means they’re content being the republicans of 10-20 years ago, but they're trying to do it by only stating what they’re against, which is to say whatever modern Republicans are in favor of. That’s not a platform, and not anything voters should be excited about supporting.

This is the beauty of open source. If you wrote an app called “eeznuts” and mad it something everyone needed, eventually a sysadmin somewhere would get to explain that joke to a stiff EVP, and they’d both have a good chuckle about it.

The typo the people need.

Show the Horndog some respect!

Back when the internet was awesome, one of my favorite sites was cockeyed.com (might still be around, haven’t looked). This was one of the first internet people I wanted to be! Great ideas. Great friends who helped him do his ideas. It was glorious. Anyway, one of his pranks was a fake “plaque” he set up in Sacramento. It was a great idea and one I think the world needs A LOT more of right now.

This is the way.

It’s almost like words… mean… something?

If the DNC is going to be “the left” in the US, the need to make room for democratic socialists. Look at the crowds coming out to see Sanders and AOC. Most progressives in the country are apathetic about the Dems because they can’t commit. Look at the GOP. Along came Trump, and they didn’t like him. But he ran against a WOMAN! An UPPITY one at that! And that fucker won! Now, whatever he says or does, they’re like, “Fuck it. Somehow it works.” And they commit to it. And conservative voters, right or wrong, respond to it. Meanwhile, the “liberal” party’s platform has been “we’re not them” since the midterms in Trump’s first term. No wonder people don’t give a shit about them. Nobody knows what they stand for.
