To spend xmas with my grandparents that passed away!

I built a machine that pics up discharged round from the end of the shooting range. They had to wear so much protective gear to run this machine and were under strict regulations from the government. I had no idea how dangerous shooting ranges were.

The best christmas movie!

You should see my picture I went after a long day at work. I look like a straight up bum.

Mario bros 3 - it felt like a SNES game

Use skykick its like 12 bucks per mailbox. They have live support so they will even help you setup the migration.

As an IT professional, I encounter this frequently—people attempt to save money, only to end up with subpar equipment that hampers their ability to perform their work. In the end, they often lose more money than they would have saved, all because they focused on saving that small amount upfront. Cost savings are not always advantageous; it's akin to the saying, 'Saving a penny to spend a dollar'.

I believe a significant issue with laptops, in general, lies in the ethical and environmental concerns surrounding the mining of precious metals and components, often carried out by underprivileged workers. The cost of materials and manufacturing remains low, while profit margins for companies continue to grow.

For example, Apple has experienced remarkable growth from 2010 to the present, yet laptop prices have only risen rather than decreased, despite advances in technology and economies of scale. This raises important questions about fairness and sustainability in the industry.

In a way, it feels as though we are being taken advantage of, all while maintaining a positive facade. This, of course, doesn't even address the anti-consumer practices surrounding the repair and maintenance of Apple devices.

Laptops from the 2010s represented a peak in design and performance, but since then, it feels like we've seen consistent downsizing and downgrades. Take the latest Intel CPUs, for instance—it's as if the marketing pitch is, 'It may not be very powerful, but at least it’s energy-efficient.' It’s almost as though manufacturers are catering to a market they perceive as indifferent, and we, as consumers, continue to accept diminishing returns while paying increasingly higher prices. This trend reflects a broader issue in life today: settling for less while being charged more.

This picture captures the essence of that realization, and it is truly heart-wrenching.

Data caps are insane in 2024

I still to this day when leaving the house or a building. I need to look both ways before I exit. When I was younger and living in the ghetto I almost got shot because there was a shoot out down the street.
