When I was younger I used to have these dreams from time to time where some mundane unimportant things were happening. Like walking through the parking lot of my school with classmates to go to gym class. And then it would happen just as in the dream. They would happen some days, weeks sometimes years after these dreams. And I would remember the dream in that moment and think ‘deja vu’.
It’s been several years since I ran Windows on any of my laptops. And haven’t run into any CPU issues yet. In my experience if stay away from the slim models and go for the more high-end ones you’re good.
This. Don’t buy consumer laptops. You can get secondhand business laptops that are just as cheap and more durable. You won’t get one with a touchscreen but that’s about it for the downsides.

Estimates that I’ve seen of Russia running out of equipment (tank, ifv, mlrs, etc.) range from 2025 to 2032.
Most probably in the 2027—2029 range. That said, they will most likely run out of mlrs first.
increase the intensity of my speaking voice without actually yelling
People will still consider it yelling even when you’re not actually doing it.
Do your own ironing! It’s quite easy. Heat the iron to the proper temperature. Not too hot. Use steam liberally. Use an ironing board and a sleave attachment. Turn your garment around so you can reach everywhere. Some creases are meant to be there. Make sure they are straight before ironing them.
Work inside all of the political institutions to bring about constitutional change. Abolish electoral college etc.
A former ice hockey magnate. Very much a boomer. People either like him or dislike him for his antics.
Currently driving through a change in policy that would disallow closing streets for construction. Which is a good thing because the city has been too lax in this regard.
For me the chain is similar but longer.

It’s not as bad as the US. We don’t have a presidential candidate openly calling for the end of democracy. It has been getting worse. But we’re not there yet.
For me it’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. With a few local politicians doing stupid things mixed in.
A succulent Chinese meal?
At that speed ramming into another drone is enough.
Belize-owned, Turkish operated, under the flag of St. Kitts & Nevis
Ah, the usual maritime corporate fuckery.
Which is exactly what their beloved Founding Fathers™ were trying to prevent.
they were allegedly promised 5 million rubles (USD 55,000).
Pay them.
Here’s a novel idea. Don’t use these exploitative services.
You’d be surprised. There are people who are willing to do those things.
Especially if you have city planning that actually works. Instead of what the US currently has.
