I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don’t have the volume of production needed to compete.

MAYBE you’ll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you’re paying more to support good company practices.

I’m planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren’t going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don’t care about.

Numbers 5:11-22

If your wife is unfaithful, she should go to the priest and get a concoction to abort the pregnancy conceived with another man.

I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.

Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.

They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

This is correct, but it’s also, it’s only 100% of the heat at that point in the circuit.

Technically, using natural gas to make electricity, then sending that electricity to an electric heater would be less efficient than burning that natural gas for heat at the source.

So it depends on where you start counting from.

How do you know a commenter is over 40? This one right here.

Equal opportunity on PROSECUTING corruption in Illinois. Every state has corrupt politicians, we just really like holding them accountable here.

Sounds like NBC needs to care a little more about accuracy and a little less about being first.

Fits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.

To what end?

Many people view “looks” with a strong filter of personality. So being active, funny, nice, kind, etc. would actually, really, make you look more attractive to people.

Dress well, stay clean, get fit, improve yourself as much as possible. But do these things to make yourself a better person, not with an ulterior motive.

Probably stored it for 10 years, declared it expired, and then sent it to be destroyed.

Did they stop the search for the missing people then? Sounds like they got all excited that they found a new toy and forgot all about the people they were actually trying to help.

Bone conducting headphones already exist

Which is KIND OF ok unless someone looks at a password breech list and figures out your super simple pattern. And I’m sure the rise of AI being used in password breech attacks will just make it more automated.

Real, true, random passwords/tokens is really the only way to actually be safe. Which means you have to use a password generator, AND something to save the password.

Then one password breech and your password everywhere is exposed to the world. That’s bad advice.

There’s no way for the average person to keep up with remembering unique, strong passwords for all the sites that require them.

You either have to write it down, save it in a password manager, reuse passwords, or have simplified passwords or patterns.

…You realize you are agreeing with me, right? If that cop just felt like it, you would have been fucked, and there was nothing you could have done about it…

That is exactly what happens to minority kids all the time. I’m going to assume you’re not black, cause that exact same situation with a black kid would have ended up with that kid not going to basic.

You don’t want that. Because at any given moment, kids are committing all sorts of minor violations. They trespass, stay out too late, get into scuffles, etc.

But now there’s a cop watching you 24x7, and catches you smoking at 14 in a closed construction site with your friends… you get arrested cause the cop is a jackass. Now you’ve got a record, you missed a couple weeks of school, and college won’t accept you, and your future is fucked.

You did the exact same thing that millions of other teens did, but because a cop happened to feel kinda like fucking you over, your life is ruined.

You DO NOT want cops patrolling your neighborhood, or anywhere you hang out.

That’s why they also spread the myth of fentanyl overdoses by incidental contact. They see an unknown substance, have a panic attack, and assume they’re OD’ing.

Ask any paramedic… you really can’t OD from incidental skin contact with fentanyl.

Alicia Masters, The Thing’s girlfriend, is also blind, so they’d make a good thruple.
