Price point is fine for a “new” laptop.

Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.

Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd

I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

Let me guess

Engineering or CS?

I dunno, after perusing the website, I’m sold!

I’m so sold I’m gonna go get circumcised a second time!

Also, I guess that if your country is predominantly white you’ll end up mostly with white people.

Despite what the great replacers think, America is still mostly white or at least passably white.

Poor homie is probably both lonely and horny. A terrible combination.

So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.

So this doesn’t feel like an issue to me because its a digital download.

This means we know an infinite number of these games could be made. There is no scarcity issue at hand. So my digital copy sitting unplayed doesn’t remove from someone else’s ability to play. Therefore I don’t really care that I don’t play those games.

Also, invite your friends over for a lan party

I’m a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.

Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I’m a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.

The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.

If there are no sources listed (or they don’t exist because they’re hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.

Damn I wish

I once knew a guy who was overweight and had his face fucked up in an ATV accident who was constantly cheating on his various girlfriends.

Looks really don’t matter.

IF you got wide feet, Lems and Zero do pretty good. Lems I know goes to 15, but I’m just a 12

That was Plato and Socrates’s secret

If Plato is accurate then I don’t know if he didn’t talk out of his ass.

Damn that’s a pretty good explanation actually

Sorry, you have a scale that can measure your water content?

I’m finishing Phillip Pullman’s “The Book of Dust” trilogy with “The Rosefield”

I heavily recommend the series to anyone interested in Magic, Consciousness, Fairies, and fighting a corrupt and evil Christian Church.

Pullman 's writing is flowing and subtle. Every pay off feels earned and all his foreshadowing is there enough that it feels like a mystery the reader can solve.

My favorite details are when details of events we’ve experienced in the book are mid remembered to other characters. Its often inconsequential, but I just love it when I know a character sounds so dumb for being wrong but they couldn’t know!

To add to this, I personally recommend “Did Jesus Exist” as the Dr. Ehrman follow up.

It has the same vibe as Dr. McClellan’s book while also being an incredibly useful popular academic book. Just as accessible and covers the second most important part of Christianity to understand, the origin as opposed to the current discourse.

“How Jesus became God” being a natural progression.

I finished the book a while back and I reference it often.

Its really good. All of the book is formatted as long form responses with citations and solid academic reason without being inaccessible.

What jargon there is is fully explained in the intro or in the text.

It was in fact a wonderful resource for a modern interpretation for the bible and a resource on modern discourse around it if you’re not religious like myself.

Its good enough that I keep a spare copy to give to friends if they’re interested in interpretations of stories inspired by or from Dan.

Glad I don’t give Redhat money.

Thanks for the free stuff dic-
