This might be controversial, but at some point just buy a decent repro on AliExpress.

😂 are you consuming market data for the entirety of North America?

Been a few years since I looked, but HP’s DL line used to be reasonably affordable.

I have a chest freezer in my garage full of bananas that begs to differ.

Not so much, it was more an ironic take that the British find this second nature and normal and therefore correct and a slight dig that our American cousins are more uncouth because they’re less messed up in that regard.

Sounds like you’re American too.

And ephemeral unless you specifically wanted to save something. Since I got win 11 at work instead of disappearing on reboot the next time I open it I get 50 fucking notepad instances and I can’t find the actual doc that would’ve been useful to save because its in a background tab. Fuck this shit.

Probably because Boeing don’t make the seats.

I thought so too, then I discovered lego

Maybe a 10-15 year patent period with lower barrier to entry would be a good thing.

Indeed

Haha, I just happened to be watching engine swap videos earlier today and thought it fit well!

I’m in the same position as you. From what I gather you can still transfer files, I’m still buying a kobo when my voyage bites the dust.

Isn’t that pretty much how parents work already? They’re extensible, sure, but only up to 20 years total. Not only that but you’re forced to document it too.

Lol, my cat would not at all be happy with being scratched there. Persistently ignoring his nips would result in a bite.
