All specs are available here [0]. Even if you compare different sizes the 14" M1 is still just ~230g heavier than the 13" Intel. At the same size (13") the differences are what I put above. "More than 0.5kg" means a

Self-censorship is the result of thinking before speaking. The arguments which made you reach that result can vary. You can choose to self-censor whether you're right or wrong. Nobody thinks they're wrong. So I'd make the b

Renting fits occasional usage better, housing being a notable exception. But people need a computer (PC, laptop, tablet, or phone) all the time these days and almost always have a lot tied into a particular device. It's far more conven

I read that as the well known fact that if you are constantly under pressure you will eventually just normalize it and soon it becomes "the way things are". And when things are "the way things are" there is no real push

Most popular cop shows running now (like Law and Order) are pure fantasy, propaganda, and wishful thinking. They're made to present a much better version of reality because the real story would turn people's stomachs and lead to a

> Brexit was done to themselves Part of my point is that unanimity (amongst the people ) in democracy is pretty much unheard of. So Brexit was not done by everyone. Realistically it wasn't even done by a majority of the population.
