    Again: I bought a max spec model when it was released. I didn't wait years to buy the max spec model of a previous generation or something. I'm well aware CPUs got better and whate…

    Sure, but the 11" MBA I bought was max specs at the time it was released and the point is: it didn't last long.

    I guess, but that kinda means I would've needed to improve my 11" MBA's longevity by buying another, more recent, 11" MBA though. :)

    I loved mine but I'd be lying if I said it gave me three years of acceptable performance. Sure, I can blame Chrome and JS, but ultimately, the core 2 duo and 8GB RAM did not keep u…

    Could it just be the comment is too old? IIRC, comments that are over ~24h old can no longer be downvoted.

    Off topic but this was the entire joke behind a South Park episode.

    I'm pretty sure I've had to show ID going to the doctor's office as well.

    I was going to ask if you were making a joke or just too tired to spell mnemonic correctly, but they would've been pneumatic, not pneumonic. Edit: oh, boo, you fixed it.

    Wasn't the FBI doing some pretty questionable stuff with regards to MLK during said civil rights movement? Eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO I guess "other forces were wo…

    I've somewhat recently found out that I enjoy hand grinding beans and having the resulting coffee quite a bit. There's something about the sound, the smell, and the feeling once th…

    Okay? Lots of European cheeses still use animal rennet, including several well known AOC (or PDO in English, I guess) ones with recognizable names. I can check Wikipedia all I want…
