Lololol you think Floridians read ..... I could put a billboard up on 95 South here in Miami in Spanish and English: "One million dollars to the next ten callers" and at the end of the day I would still have seven million.
How about an "I don't want to arrive early, I want to drive lazy" setting. I don't need to shave off 5 fucking minutes making a tonne of turns or taking toll roads or going 80mph / 130kph.
I'm in the middle of planning a trip to NC to do some boat work. If this passes, they just lost six months of revenue from me. Renting yard space, purchasing tools, supplies and stores, frequenting local businesses and free publicity from the socials. I won't be the only one either.
The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....
Sometimes it's just easier to agree with people so they shut up.
If they don't want or want to take my input, that's ok, I'm still getting paid. Eventually it will always come back around and that's when my documentation and emails come into play. "I gave the solution six weeks ago, as per this email .... Blah blah blah.
When that's been the case then I am extremely direct and if that fails and it lands in my lap, the next time I'm unrelenting and will absolutely bug the living shit out the responsible parties so it doesn't land in anyone's lap. They very rarely step back into my office afterwards and my emails get answers.
Don't let the swine step on you man, they'll never stop. You're good at what you do and that's what you're paid for, not to babysit and wipe asses. I mean I'm pretty sure .... Enjoy the weekend.
I’m thinking of picking up a used ThinkPad on eBay for cheap to serve as my daily driver. I’ll likely run LMDE, and primarily use it for web browsing, office programs, coding, and FreeCAD. Any recommendations on which model would best hit the sweet spot of capability vs price?
After having a W, T, and X versions of the 520/220 line the T580 just isn't up to snuff. The keyboard flexes, the track pad dies/gets stuck blah blah blah. I agree on the hot, and it's a crippled chip to boot. I get the same amount of time on the 580 (i7 1.8) with the extended pack as I do the T15g2 (i5 2.4), same OS. And the keyboard doesn't flex. That's what pisses me off about the 5 series. It's a premium product for premium prices, even my ancient EEE doesn't flex and it was paltry $300 at the time.
Exactly. These three T580s were all NIB and have no modifications other than 2nd drive. Side by each with the same pics you can see the difference between all of them. One is really really nice, one is heavy orange, the other weighted blue.

From an Infosec and Opsec perspective, there's no way I would ever purchase a new(er) vehicle, a vehicle with OnStar, let alone an American made EV (I'm American), never fucking mind a Chinese EV. Tiktok just became the last of your worries.
See that the linux-firmware package is installed on your system.
Then check /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
If it's not there download it manually and place it there using sudo
Make sure chown it properly as well. I'm pretty sure it's sudo chown root:root filenamehere. Dbl check who owns the amdgpu dir, that's who should own it.
I had the best insurance my firm offered, and even with that insurance having a cataract removed still cost me over $4000 USD out of pocket here in Miami Florida 2023.
You know I had to go back and actually look. I did. I also opted for a $1500 laser procedure not covered by my insurance. I bought the same type of lens as my other eye done in Seattle in 2017, different script. Still over twice as much as I had paid in Seattle.
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers.
