When you notice a cat in profound meditation
The reason, I tell you, is always the same
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought,
of the thought,
of the thought of his name

Okay guys. Hear me out. I ordered the wallet and case with my new phone. In the box, it specifically states on the instructions that the finewoven material WILL patina with time, just like leather. This was not unknown to apple. I am not trying to say that it will infact look nice when there is a year of patina, I am just saying that this is a feature, not a bug. I wish they had emphasized this more when announcing the fabric. They expect people to use it LIKE LEATHER. It should age like leather, it should feel like the suede leather, and it should be handled like leather. So I think these arguments that it “scratches too easily” are just somewhat overboard. The finewoven wallet on my phone the last 2 days looks just like when I received it.
Wait what am I saying. Apple bad. Bad bad apple. You make bad product and too pricey. Now go back to Cupertino and make an indestructible leather alternative that is REALLY worth the money.
Aerospace division? Do you even know what Boeing does? Its all aerospace (except I guess for that one sub thing they made I think?)
But ya, Calhoun is a lord on high for sure.
There are certainly skills involved in being a career politician, but these aren’t necessarily serving the public interest. I often feel like a politician’s main job is convincing constituents that their preferred course of action is best, rather than simply representing constituents interests.
Man, I wish that were the case. Convincing other REPRESENTATIVES is the main job of a legislator. The reason why lawyers are so good at the role of legislating (the nuclear engineer equivalent in your analogy) is that they are both trained in 1. Convincing others of their argument 2. Understanding legal standings and the workings of government. These skills should be the basis for someones eligibility to be elected. The reason we select one candidate over another is the ideas and values they represent for us in the day in, day out melodrama of governing. The only reason you think the important part is convincing constituents is because that is the part you see. The real work is making the damn sausage.
Religious freedom is a human right. Self determination is a human right. As long as whatever you do does not cause a negative impact on other people (see the second right) or society at large, then gtfo.
Mint: wait, what district are you using?
Well this is going to the Supreme Court I guess.
Thank god Missouri has the constitutional amendment process that requires a simple majority at a standard election vote. For now…
Back in my college days, I first used a T60 (not ultrabook) then moved to an x220 (nearing ultrabook). The X220 was perfect, removable battery, all day battery, good build quality, perfect for linux. I rocked mint with DWM for the 2nd half of my uni days.
The same way electronics in any other “extreme” condition does (airplanes, military, spacecraft). Tighter tolerances for fabrication, bigger heat sinks, less power consumption, no battery in the same chassis, active cooling during use, etc.
Looks like Microsoft is due for another anti trust lawsuit. They should remember Bill’s fun adventures in capitol hill.
Bruh, Aldi has them for 1.12 a dozen. They’re literally less expensive than they were in the 90s adjusting for inflation.

I’ve been on Mastadon for a while, and have liked it for content that was less mainstream on Twitter. Gave a better way to get more frequent content from folks I wanted to follow over Reddit. Glad to see Lemmy finally gain momentum due to the Reddit drama.
Needs to be Linux? Xps. Unix? MacBook of choice.
