I’m going to read this tomorrow.

Nah. They just eat the grass.

@George-K said in The role of SCOTUS: I follow Jonathan Turley on Twitter, and the current SCOTUS conversation is interesting. Given that, I found these comments worthy of attention: https://twitter.com/ToddTHeller/status/1307693223696105472 Read the tread. That is interesting. I do agree the Court has waaay too much power...

@Kincaid said in Good-bye SBC: I thought the small block chevy was banned. Phew!

@George-K said in Unsupervised seniors: I'm 70 ½ now...still walk 5 ½ miles thrice weekly at a pace of 3.5 mph. Still agile...

You need to understand that Derek is my cousin... you be treadin' on family here! But that is not dicing up the argument - it is stating the history. It's not about anything but power politics and it never has been.

@George-K I will have to watch that. I really enjoyed my trip on the train to Los Angeles in the sleeper car.

Interesting that Samsung wanted to get into the car market but had the bad timing of just getting started when the Asian economic crisis started in the late 1990's. So, they ended up only making a few cars under the Samsung name. (In addition, I heard that the Korean government put pressure on them to stop production, as they did not want to cause all the Korean car makers to go bankrupt).

@Loki said in To Unseat Graham: I doubt it’s as close as people suggest in SC I agree. I think it could hurt him and it could be closer than he has ever had, but no matter what he does, i think he will win.

It's trick advertising. 4* Then in fine print: ** on a scale from 4 to 10

I was a bit PBR can in college. Mainly because I could afford it.

@George-K said in Impeachment Redux?: We'll know where your priorities lie. C'mon, we already do.

@Mik said in Celebrating the death of a SCOTUS justice: they are the equal of any of Trump's blusters DId Trump do the same for public figures who had died? Sincere question. But, even if he had, the people who criticize him (Greenwald and the guy at Rolling Stone) lost any standing in any debate about "high ground."

When I try that, the quarters get lodged in the deep grooves of my chiseled abs.

Notebooks are not typically used for long-term computation-intensive tasks. It is reasonable to optimize for small bursts of CPU power, as Apple is doing. Better cooling would negatively affect size and weight. For typical office stuff, CPU performance simply doesn't matter. I'm currently using a 2014 MBPro and a 2019 MBPro. Theoretically, the latter should be orders of magnitude faster. In practice, I rarely ever notice a difference.

Thanks everyone. Had a very relaxed day, but more sober than I would like as I was one taxi duty in the evening. Bloody kids have no respect for the elderly.
