They can’t sell them at a loss without a locked-down ecosystem. Sony learned that the hard way with the OtherOS support for the PS3 that lead to a ton of them being purchased to build cheap supercomputer ls and never spending a dime on games or software to cover the loss.
When my parents got married in the 70s, somebody didn’t know my dad’s name and wanted to send a letter to my mom, so they mailed a letter to “Susie and her new husband, [City],[State]”.
They got the letter.
There already is one someone made for the deck.
Yes, a pencil almarknhas width. That’s why you choose a side of the line to cut. I’ve been woodworking for decades, and nobody ever needs more precision than a pencil because wood’s movement and change over time is enough to erase that extra precision.
Not as specific as it should be. They’re all insane with the tools and materials these days.
Let’s make a box for Amazon deliveries.
We’ll start by breaking down this $300/sheet plywood with my $1500 festool track saw setup plugged into my $1,000 festool vacuum.

Now, before we actually start cutting, let’s measure and square everything up with this $150 Woodpeckers square and a $60 knife I use for some reason instead of a fucking pencil…
Yep. And since I carry 3 laptops in my backpack (2 for work and one personal), it’s a problem.
Though I will say the fact that all 3 can be powered by Type-C cables has been since huge life improvement since i don’t need to carry around 3 different charging bricks.
It’s really, and is still very much a thing.
And they really do have a “belt” system. Because of some bullshit ai had to do at an old job, I’m a Six Sigma Yellow Belt. I’ve never had my time wasted more.
Getting it to display on a screen is gonna cost enough to kill any value proposition.
How many people in 2025 are still going to be using a display with vintage inputs?
Can they fix the “randomly turn itself back on and drain the battery while in its bag so that it’s always dead when you actually need to use it on the go” problem?
Because that’s been a problem for like 20 years at this point and means I have to treat my laptops as if they don’t actually have batteries because it’s schrodinger’s power any time I pull one out to work.
I was at a conference this week, and half the attendees were huddled in the cafeteria the whole time because there were some tables on one wall with outlets.
Welcome to the ranch.
Did you know there are people finishing their Master’s degrees this year who weren’t alive for September 11th?
I literally typed that Aliens was the other major contender at the bottom ofnthe comment, then deleted before posting because I didn’t want to be too fanboyish about James Cameron.
But… yeah. Dude can make an action flick. Heck - the Avatar movies didn’t change the world with their messaging, but dammit if the action scenes aren’t jaw-dropping.
The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.
But yeah, T2 isn’t gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.
Lazlow, Dan Houser, and the rest of the old creative team at Rockstar are no longer with the company.
GTA6 is gonna sell like mad regardless, but unlike the last several Rockstar blockbusters I’m waiting to see if it’s good before giving them any money.
The city is buying me like 15 grand in new software licenses this year, but I can’t convince them to spend another 2 grand on a new fucking computer because mine is “supposed” to be good for 2 more years.
The lesson was to vote in the primaries.
We used to have a bit of that.
Until the aftermath of the election of 1800, the Vice Presidency went to the 2nd-place finisher instead of a running mate. It’s why Adams (a Federalist) had a Democratic-Republican (Jefferson) as his VeeP.
But then they ended up having the VeeP run against the sitting President in 1800, and it was a fucking mess. So they changed the constitution to put the VeeP on the ballot.
I’d like to take a moment to point out that the third-party candidate did not, in fact, win.
My work laptop was upgraded to Windows 11 and performance has severely suffered.
As someone who usually uses 3 monitors (sometimes 4) and does GIS, it’s an issue.
I actually also have a Razr+. My employer pays me a stipend to have a second phone so thay when I eventually leave I don’t have a bunch of contractors calling my personal number.
The patents expired iirc. The doubple-chop flashlight should be on every phone. It’s just so handy.
