Keeping an eye on this company: Introducing the new and upgraded Framework Laptop

Every part of the laptop is replaceable / upgradable, with support planned for the years to come.

It's really reminiscent of the 2012-2015 Macbooks that are still used by people today (including me...!)

Interesting. "Old" thinkpads also have a lot of removable components and are very durable

Other than the odd price decreases in a mega-price upswing market?

Not sure, mass murders in the home? Poltergeists?

Is the answer in the listing, because I don't see it. Looks like a nice little house.

The Spartan life is as simple—and as hard—as applying your common sense. Throw the norm out the window. For most people in our contemporary Western culture, “normal” is whatever is easy or provides instant gratification. Fast food is normal, consuming alcohol is normal, not exercising is normal, cutting corners is normal, watching hours of TV every day is normal, cheating is normal . . . Common sense tells you that this definition of normal is unhealthy, unsatisfying, and degrading. So F*ck normal and follow your common sense. Exercise your body, heart, and mind.

The only clue I see is that it is selling "as is". I bet they get a lot of calls on Monday.

People on Zillow noticed it:

I’ve been watching lots of skateboard clips, especially street clips (jumping stairs and stuff). Got a product idea for yall.

Design some skateboard trucks with shock absorption/suspension.

Bigger than what’s out there, to take some bigger impacts maybe, and handle rougher stuff. Just a random idea - I’m not doing this

Lmao. In the Arborist community we have the saying lawns/grass should be like rugs not carpets. Otherwise it's always stressing trees, making them live less long.

So broke down and got some plain bic pens. It even says they are "33% smoother writing", so these ones cost a bit more. It better be worth the extra expense!!!

Oh, 10 pens cost me like $1.59 at Walmart.

I think hydrogen is the greatest element ever

>can be used in fuel cells to power any device that uses electricity (such as a car or smartphone)
>can be used in rockets as rocket fuel (its widely used and is the industry standard in the space industry)
>doesn't emit greenhouse gases like carbon or methane, emits only water and you can get hydrogen from water

I see hydrogen as the future of power and the forefront of space, what do you guys think about hydrogen?
(yes I'm aware of the problems with the tech atm such as price, fuel cells use materials like platinum which is rare and stuff like that but this is all solvable with more research and development)

The History website lists 8 reasons why the Roman Empire collapsed. If America has another Civil War and splits in half, #3 (division) will be true. Nuclear weapons make #1 impossible (invasion). America scores 6 out of 8, while Russia and China score 0 out of 8.

1. Invasions by Barbarian tribes
2. Economic troubles and overreliance on slave labor
3. The rise of the Eastern Empire
4. Overexpansion and military overspending
5. Government corruption and political instability
6. The arrival of the Huns and the migration of the Barbarian tribes
7. Christianity and the loss of traditional values
8. Weakening of the Roman legions

I just watched "What is a woman". Absolutely frightening. I am worried about what is going to happen to all these kids being bullied into this in 10 years.

That really cements it even more in my mind that I don't want my kids stepping foot into any publicly funded propaganda institutions. I think this was good for my wife to see the crap they are pushing on kids, and the show barely touched on it.

Teachers and everyone are scared to lose their jobs, so they just go along with whatever madness is pushed on them.

And the debasing of their currency.

But the CEO's salary of $213 million (3/10 of 1 percent of that) is going to bust the budget? Lol.

My local FB group is forever whining about the "fat cat" local council CEO salary which is about £150k. As if getting rid of that expense would mean they could afford to fix all the bad roads, and do everything else. That'd pay for about a mile of new road.

Burning hydrogen creates h2o which is the most significant greenhouse gas.
Not to mention it kills 11 people PER DAY in the US alone.
So irresponsible.

I loathe cities.

They used to feel like magical lands of opportunity and big dreams. Now they’re just shit-holes full of people that hate one another. The best way I have to describe existing in a city is constant tension and abrasion. Everything is frustrating.

Look at that video. No one gives anyone the benefit of the doubt. The lady might have been loading up something. It might have been a special occasion that required this parking. The guy had room to walk around the car, but felt it his duty to vandalize her car for the inconvenience of walking a foot further to the right. She also may have just been an entitled Karen. What a joke. What a country. What a way to exist. I don’t want to share a country with either of them, let alone a sidewalk.

American cities are powerhouses of mental illness. It's as if those in charge of the sytem want a society with hijacked amygdalas.

People have no manners, respect or common sense these days. It's very concerning. It's probably indicative of bad things to come in these future years and i'm no doomsdayer.

If you look at photo 24 of 26 on Zillow, it shows the siding absolutely pummeled (I would assume from hail, but it's so bad, it looks like an active shooter was involved). If they had hail bad enough to put that many holes into the siding, then I would guess the roof is absolutely wrecked as well. Depending on how long it has sat like that, maybe there's water damage and rotten wood underneath both the roof and the siding.
