Thank Mr skeltal!

Dang, you weren’t kidding with the price of a used x220 (I have an x230 that I got for less than I’m currently seeing on ebay a while back, and the only thing that really made me switch to something newer was the screen). Maybe a newer thinkpad or an hp elitebook? I think as long as you have something newer than a 2nd Gen I series chip, there really shouldn’t be an issue if you’re basically just using it for text processing. If you start with models with ddr3 and sata drives you should be able to get very cheap replacement parts for a while yet.

So is it Copper or sulfate?

Nice.

Which is a repackaging of the red panic.

Still use it for marketplace. If that decoupled from Facebook I wouldn’t need it.

Plus the possibility of an added dick joke.

Unfortunately, it’s a new game probably named Deadlock. Not hl3.

It’s a lot more rare for sure. Some still do have nice stuff, but it’s much, much more of shitshow than it used to be. Unfortunately not many independent thrift stores around me, and the few that are generally have nice deals even less often than goodwill.

Or Tea with little/no sweetening (my personal favorite is hibiscus with a little lemon in there).

“Looks at current price of sugar” - Lemon juice it is!

I think Terry Pratchett would probably be laughing uproariously.

“But I need to support the devs!” /s

Please be good, please be good…

Got a set with a box cutter and a foldable knife a few years back for $7, haven’t really used the knife much but the box cutter has been used a ton. It’s really nice to just be able to replace the blade when it starts getting dull, and it has allowed me to use it for a lot of precision cutting for a lot of different projects, plus it’s really easy to fold or unfold so I don’t have to worry too much about cutting myself.

I usually try to audibly confirm it with the date. Makes those, “Did I lock my door or am I just remembering another day?” moments less likely to cause me anxiety.

Or a crocodile.

That they aren’t being properly maintained/funded? It looks like a bunch of the bridges that are having issues are mostly due to age.

I wouldn’t worry about it. I was one of the gifted kids, got my Bachelors then Masters in Computer Science with good grades. But also I got massively depressed and it took me a while to get a job after graduation. One of the more valuable lessons I learned from that experience was that I was often not seeing the forest thru the trees. After all, going to college is just a means of hopefully ensuring that you have an easier time covering the cost of living long term. So, overall, if you’re happy and don’t have to constantly worry about your bills there was no real loss of potential.

Sadly, Apple is far and away the best for that. Plus notability allows for digital recording too. Helped me a ton through school.
