Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. You’d need a massive budget to make the darwinists look convincing though so it’ll probably never happen.

They also have great sudoku apps. They’re not free but there are no ads and they come with a lot of great puzzles.

Probably a formula for some cheap to manufacture, room-temperature superconductor.

I’ve been happy with mine for a while. I’ve had some minor hiccups, but I blame myself for those because I choose to run arch on the thing. The swappable ports are a game changer for me, but that depends on the user.

When I bought it I didn’t need a powerful laptop, but I may in a few years, so it made more sense to buy something for a bit more upfront. The upgradable mainboard is a crazy value add.

I’ve also been the unfortunate owner of multiple laptops that became unusable because of a broken part that was impossible to source for replacement.

I mean, most of the content on netflix is already mediocre. Why no get some bar food to go with it?

Clamshell packaging 10x the size of the item inside. Thing is wasteful and turns into a razor blade when you try to open it.

If you have an old computer you don’t use much, you should consider giving linux a try. My Windows 10 installation on my desktop is far less stable than the arch instance on my laptop, and I am very much in the “still learning” phase of using it.

It was all downhill after the first movie.

Their prices have gotten completely out of control. I’m just a home user though, so I use FreeCAD. It’s a little janky, but I can work at about 80% of my previous speed after about a month.

I just want there to be some sense in the regulations. I’m from the US so that’s rare, but banning plastic straws seems pretty silly when almost every product at the store is packaged in giant clamshell packaging that turn into razor blades when you open them. Paper and cardboard packaging should be required for most products.

What products do we use durable plastics for, and are there reasonable alternatives?

It’s nice to have less traffic for blue collar as well.

Tbf if I ran a business I would probably go cash only because payment processors have become somewhat predatory.
