blitzen

Kinda why I put it as a “bonus,” as you’re right it’s subjective. For me, Apple trackpads are perfectly buttery smooth, and they get the accidental touch detection perfect (something my work Windows laptop drives me insane with.)

1. The prices they charge for SSD upgrades is seriously laughably criminal. That said…
2. You could choose to get a MacBook Pro, which starts at a higher storage tier. It’s still going to be more expensive than the air with the same size SSD, but you’ll get an inch larger screen and it is a seriously good screen.
3. I’ve found after years of owning Linux and Mac laptops that I get years longer out of the Mac laptop, all things considered. They may be more up front, but dollars per year they come out ahead.
4. MacOS is UNIX based, so you should feel right at home in terminal.
5. Finally, take advantage of their education pricing. At least in the US, they don’t check for eligibility. So your $1399 1TB MacBook Air is now 1279. Feel a little bit better about that price?

Bonus. The trackpad is head and shoulders above anything I’ve ever used. For me, that’s worth the price of admission alone.

At this point, I wouldn’t object to the 2nd Amendment.

5% fuel savings on an average vehicle driven an average number of miles at an average gasoline cost is $120 per year.

Perhaps this is a case where we’re misunderstanding each other (no doubt more so in my case.) I must be missing something because I don’t find the intent behind my response to be embarrassing, but I am open to the fact that it reads differently than I intended.

What I reject is that I need to be afraid of speaking up against Israel (or to the Zionists abroad) or to be afraid of the “anti-Semitic” label. To your point, there are reasons to be afraid, to be careful. But to me we must speak the truth despite those reasons. Part of that truth is undoubtedly that the Israeli government is empowered by the Christians in the US and in turn the US government.

I am NOT anti-Semitic, but I’m confident in my belief that calling out ANYONE (regardless of their religion) for their support of the Palestinian genocide is the right thing. If someone is to label that anti-Semitic I believe they are weaponizing that term.

May I ask pointedly, what specifically are you saying to be careful of?

Sounds like what someone might make up who was retroactively making up reasons for commonly used terms.

Third truth, it’s not just Israeli leaders who are promoting the violence against Palestine, and many of those that do use their Judaism as a shield against criticism.

I appreciate you sharing your perspective. I’m largely committed to upgrading to 11s now, but can I ask did 10s require spreading or cold-setting the rear dropout spacing?

If you can used to driving electric, I’m confident you could get used to a vehicle with start-stop.

Citation needed. What law specifies that?

It’s not literally illegal, at worst it may void your warranty.
