By that logic, if someone is born without a leg, and technology allows us to give them a functional prosthetic, we shouldn't bother, because that would be "discriminating", not giving them back equal functionality to the majo

When I got my first pair at age 9, I froze to a complete stop on the sidewalk outside the optometrist's office, exclaiming to my mother about how I could read signs all the way at the other end of the street! I rode home with my face p

This essentially maintains the existing status quo without updating it for the new realities. It was already true that you couldn't stay in the USA on a student Visa if you were not taking face-to-face classes. They're continuing

The medical school at the university nearest me offers a range of such tests on a walk-in basis for prices ranging from around $15-40 USD each. Obviously, YMMV, but inquire with any medical schools near you that have research hospitals or t

I truly do not miss the HVAC at work, where the thermostat is controlled by a company in another city, and I have to layer up in winter clothes all summer, some of us wear coats and gloves at our desks in the summer, and then randomly the e

Cubicles cost more and take up more space than just rows of desks.

If pizza costs more than a certain amount, I am eating at home, and so are a lot of other people, leaving a lot of restaurants, who exist on thing margins already, to close.

No, they are usually not finding a better job. They usually got too high, slept too long, had a family incident, or just "didn't feel like it". They usually go to another very similarly low-paid job. At this level of the empl

They can't afford to bring an empty bottle from home and fill it with the free water from the water fountains? You surely jest. Soda is not a life necessity owed to employees. Particularly if part of your business is selling soda. Ever

Don't buy those from Lenovo yet. They do not yet have this new generation of Ryzen chip available. Don't buy a last-gen slow part.

by Vrondi 7y ago
Since there is not _yet_ a Thinkpad available with this chip, you must have a previous gen Ryzen chip which, yes, was still a bit behind. That has no application to this new gen chip which is out-performing all expectations.
