Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I’ve found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it’s worth looking into.

Yeah I’m going to have to agree. I’m an alcoholic myself and this is a problematic way of living with it. Moderation seldom works for alcoholics as it is and by putting your choice to drink on someone else’s offerings seems to just be a way to escape any blame should it end in full relapse.

Everybody’s journey is different though so I’m not going to judge. But at no point was I able to stop drinking until I straight stopped drinking. As they say “one drink is too much and a hundred isn’t enough.”

USB-C wasn’t designed until 2014. So yeah you’ll need a charging cable regardless

Don’t forget a charger, otherwise you’ll be screwed for awhile

Counter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.

“Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.”

That’s a funny way to say “murder”…

I’m seeing between 3 and 6 killed reported by the Independent, Al Jazeera, and others that I havent heard of before mostly citing Comittee to Protect Journalists. Mohammad Salhi is the only one that I can see is definitely confirmed.

By that thought process, wouldn’t these people more likely to have their hidden phone discovered by spontaneous Amber Alerts? Those come with no warning, whereas the NAS did come with a heads up.

Man, now there’s a name and book I haven’t thought about in awhile. Might be time for a reread!

Where are you that indie coffee shops aren’t open at 6am? I just looked at all the coffee shops near me and they all open 6:30 or earlier except for one located inside a mall.

What would shooting yourself accomplish? They’d just replace you within a week.

There’s a picture of a mug on the Wikipedia page with the warning.

Furthermore, Prop 65’s name isn’t all it does. The Prop 65 labels you see in products are there because of the second part of the act. “No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose” anyone to those chemicals “without first giving clear and reasonable warning.”

That’s what the warning labels are for. It has little to do with the production process and disposal process, and is there to warn the consumer of the final product being purchased and what it contains.

The biggest issue with Prop 65 is that the lost of chemicals includes things that cause cancer under specific conditions that consumers aren’t likely to encounter and chemicals only known to cause cancer in animals. Ceramic fiber is a listed chemical, which means you need a Prop 65 label on ceramic mugs, even though ceramic fiber exposure would only occur upon breaking the mug and the effects would be negligible unless you’re crushing mugs up into powder and railing the lines like Tony Montana.
