In my mildly educated opinion, I wouldn’t say so. The Sun, The Daily Heil Mail, and The Daily Mirror are rags. The Times has its issues, as any paper does, but I wouldn’t call it a rag. It’s a center right paper with high factual reporting.
I can’t offer a specific recommendation, other than to get a used laptop instead of new. Since price is an issue for you, buying used will help a lot.
Late last year, I bought a low spec Dell XPS 13 from 2019 for $300 USD from a local used electronics shop. New, this laptop would have been about $1,000. The battery isn’t great, but I can get a replacement from iFixit for $100 if I feel like it. The screen is excellent. The CPU is… fine for my use case. RAM is subpar (8 gigs) and soldered (gross), but on Linux it hasn’t a problem. I upgraded the NVMe SSD from 256 gig to 1 Tb for $60.
eBay likely has a lot of decent options for used laptops. You can look for enterprise grade hardware too. Enterprise grade stuff tends to have replacement part support more than consumer grade stuff.
Good luck!
Edit: You can also look at factory refurbished stuff too! Just check frequently since availability changes rapidly.
That’s what ballistic missile submarines are for.
I mean, there are 2.8 million civilians in the United States civil service. I’d imagine a country with 4 times the population would have a few more than that.
Oh my God Vyvanse is amazing. I was on Adderall XR for years, but I got sick of getting a huge burst of energy for 5 hours, feeling ok for 3, and then crashing hard after that. It was really hard dealing with that while work a 4/10 schedule.
Vyvanse is so smooth, I get a gentle push through most of the day, and a subtle let down after 10 hours or so.
Now if I could just be more diligent with my sleep…
Precisely. And since these machine guns use water cooling, they might even be the most effective weapon for the job, period. That way they can fire for an extremely long time.
Woah! I didn’t know they made heat pump ice cream makers (for non commercial users) at a decent price.
Assuming Folding@Home has some sort of API or if it can be started and stopped from the command line, it should be fairly straightforward with an Arduino a simple script.
Most of the space heaters that I’ve seen are like 1,500 watts. According to the UPS this computer is plugged into, it consumes around 650 watts. So it’s not as powerful as a space heater, but when the exhaust is pointed directly at your legs, it gets plenty warm.
Instead of using a space heater like everyone else, I run Folding@Home on one of my work machines to pump out a few hundred watts of heat. That way at least someone is getting some Alzheimer’s research out of burning that electricity.
I agree. I’ve also gotten shafted by used cars (7th generation Honda Civics are all utter pieces of garbage). I don’t take depreciation into account on a new car because I plan on driving it until it’s uneconomical to repair, which means it’ll be worthless when I sell it regardless.
My parents have only purchased one used car, and it was a nearly new car from someone they knew and trusted. The other 4 cars they’ve bought in the past 40 years have been new. They keep them until they’re old and basically worthless.
People said precisely that during the early part of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
You’ll also run out of young people who can just take care of the elderly.
How bad does her shit smell? My cat has Inflammatory Bowl Disease. When she has a flare up, her shit smells absolutely horrific, she strains a lot, and poop often ends up outside the litterbox.
The other suggestions in this thread are great. I’d add take her to the vet and explain the situation. Also see if they can express her anal glands. My cat also had massively clogged anal glands which didn’t help anything.
Good luck.
so people overseas will also get shot in the
footface.
I fixed it for ya.
Rattling ceiling tiles. I have a stick at my desk devoted to banging on ceiling tiles so they stop rattling. That sound is literally one of the most annoying things I experience.
No one else seems to care.
Be careful with acetaminophen. Since it’s in lots of other meds like you said, if you don’t read the labels it’s pretty easy to take too much.
Humans generate 4,000 terawatt hours of electricity in a year. The sun dumps nearly that much on earth in 1 minute. That’s a 6 order of magnitude difference. So I’m going to assume that human heat generation is probably negligible.
