What are the implications of that choice? Safety?

M1 Pro for sure

long time follower of pook. this is trolling.

It actually works out better than 30%, quote is just an accounting game. You pay taxes on 70%, the top 30% is a tax free allowance. With a top marginal rate of ~50% it’s a massive …

This is an excellent “I didn’t know you could do that… but why couldn’t you?” idea. Surely some people are under work contracts that wouldn’t allow it, but otherwise it’s a super i…

I can always switch back to the old phone, if I can figure out how to ensure I can always answer calls and read notifications. I’d miss the upgraded camera but maybe it’s worth it.…

My recent anecdote. Last month my phone broke: the touch screen would stop responding, but I could still connect a Bluetooth keyboard and headphones. After maybe 5 hard resets in a…

More likely that the choice is about avoiding the physical effects of the alternative.

Totally agree! We used this book for our 3.5yo son and then even faster with his 2.5yo brother. It somehow gets a layer deeper in terms of understanding, empathizing, and managing …

thanks for this.

What device gave you watchable TV screens and still let you see your environment?

I’m no expert, but 40 hours of maintenance probably isn’t one tech working 9-5 for a week.

that sounds like hyperfocus, which is absolutely part of ADHD.

no, that’s referring to the amount of ram needed by the (presumably nvidia) gpu

Don’t take this too seriously, but this sounds like my prior experience with undiagnosed adhd.

they may be referring to the Bodybuilding.com Bodyspace app which has many fitness routines.

While there may have been some top-line VAT or sales tax, companies deduct wages and pay taxes on the net profit.
