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 got that one way too late…

The picture is from old footage of a nuclear bomb test. The long shadow is cast by the flash of the explosion and this is right before the shockwave hits and levels the house.

That’s pretty much the year. Like they will have to cut off the data collection at some point. Because, well, when the wrapped Playlist comes out, you’re probably going to listen to that Playlist a few times, to recap your year, which would drive more data for those songs.

I dunno, just seems like a silly thing to worry about. “Oh my gosh they only captured 11 months of my listening! How will I know that I went from Taylor Swift non-stop for 11 months and then nothing but Mayhem for all of December!!” It’s a personal record of what you listened to throughout the year, and its kind of fun to see, but it has no actual bearing on your music taste. You still like what you like.

December can skew the wrap though. People will listen to more holiday music in December, they might use their spotify for Xmas parties, while wrapping presents, or just listen to it because 'tis the season. Suddenly Mariah Carey is contending for a top 10 artist and holiday music could be one of your top genres.

My buddy gave me a VHS camcorder and VCR for Christmas in like 2015. My favorite thing to do with them was to buy VHS movies from the thrift store and record home movies over them, but each time I would start to record I would randomly fast forward a minute or two. It was kinda cool and trippy to watch goofy shit we’d do and then it phases into a random scene from Edward Scissorhands before going back into the next adventure of ours.

“Hard lemonade could mean anything.”

They have signs up listing how much caffeine is in them, which by the way, isn’t legally mandated. The only requirement the FDA has on caffeine labeling is that it’s listed as an ingredient. That’s it. The amount of caffeine doesn’t have to be disclosed.

So if the amount of caffeine is known, what more do they need to do before it becomes the consumer’s responsibility? Your argument is that it’s dangerous, but alcohol is much more dangerous than what is known from the surgeon General warning, and its dangerous to those not consuming it as well.

You can’t treat it different because of the novelty of the item, in which case maybe the FDA needs to mandate all drugs to have warning labels, not just OTC and alcohol.

Alcohol has warning labels on it, why are bars allowed to exist?

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

Kissinger didn’t give a shit about the Jewish people, or people at all, even after seeing first hand the horrors of the Holocaust. Kissinger backed the genocide of Bengali Hindus, personally approved bombings in Cambodia, directly influenced the reign of terror that would murder thousands of Chileans, and told Nixon that the gassing of Soviet Jews wasn’t America’s concern. He called US jews who called for action against the Soviets “self serving bastards” and completely ignored his own heritage when visiting his home town in Germany.

Amazing that you would claim him when he wouldn’t claim you.

Scanning your own ID probably won’t be a thing since it won’t be able to determine whether the ID belongs to you or not.

Yeah money gets around, which means once you exchange it, it loses all connection to you. Merchants don’t track serial numbers, and there’s no guarantee those bills will be picked up in the next deposit to the bank.

That’s why banks use dye packs, because once it’s gone there’s no actual way to track it. If there were, they wouldn’t use dye packs…

Since when do cashiers actually look at serial numbers on dollars?

There’s no state that allows recreational purchase under 21. Vapes are considered a tobacco product regardless of nicotine content and also require you to be 21.

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”.”

You’re right, I read the headline too fast. Updated my comment.

That’s a funny way to say “murder”…
