paid HOV lanes in the bay area are a so enraging. they created a problem by restricting the number of lanes and increasing traffic and offered a monetary solution at the same time by having you pay for the “fast” lane

I came here to post the same, a self aware artisan wouldn't spend extra time making it look older than it is. that makes me question every other design choice as well, was it thought through at all or was it just simply repeating what was learned...

A perfect example of "Se reposer sur ses lauriers" ...rest on one's laurels

No matter how incredible and forward your endeavors are, it's fascinating how many haters there will be. Unfortunately most of this hate is precipitated by for profit news.

I find it much harder to do any type of photography in the USA where it's hard to find places to walk around. And if you do find a place to walk you'll end up in strip mall, a parking lot, a multistate chain.

she also says "4 vans deep", "no end in sight" I'm pretty sure "stacked to the ceiling" is a figure of speech in this case. the only good metric is that they were doing 4 funerals a day before delta up to 8 now.

I've also deactivated FB and Instagram about 2 weeks ago. I kept telling myself I was in control, but the truth is that I wasn't, somehow my brain was craving that infinite scrolling of pure trash. I feel like I've regained control over my life and I am much more productive now. As if they had managed to get me hooked and sell days of my life away for a few cents here and there. I blame myself

-some professionals take great benefit from it. it's the fastest way to move around the US. -look up STOL flying, that's a really fun hobby to get into, you can land anywhere in the world -you can do a bunch of volunteer work with a license. -I personally do it because of the challenge and I find it very fun !

Grieving for Apple 6 years ago

I tried a Thinkpad X1C7 for a couple months, it's an amazing machine but as long as they don't fix their awful, life sucking synaptics trackpads and poor linux integration (mostly battery management). I consider it unusable.

Grieving for Apple 6 years ago

I went through the same cycle or frustration from apple products, I've bought 6 laptops in the past year trying out all of the competition. The truth is, all of the alternatives, as frustrating as apple products can be, are just not as good. And that's by a very very long shot. However fucked apple products are, the competition is FAR behind. So I just swallow it and keep biting the bullet.

That only applies if you want a LAPTOP, if you can live in with something fixed to a desk, there's plenty of viable better alternatives out there.
