Thinkpad P52 here. Touchpad is good. Better than on my work MacBook Pro (2019) actually and very similar to touchpad on my own Air (2015).

After a search for a perfect watch buying and then selling anything from very cheap to very expensive I ended up with a solar G-Shock square with radio timekeeping. Indestructible, always on and always accurate. The perfect watch.

Why not the way we did it in 1995 most of the time? Out of the head and big fat book.

Please, please do not underestimate anyone. Let's remember that it is Russia who successfully puts astronauts up in space on like daily basis (to paint a picture). They are the only nation who has constant human presence in space for t

Let's be objective here. Ukraine is the second largest country (by area) and seventh largest (by population) in Europe. They have a powerful and well trained army with extensive combat experience in the last 8 years. They have strong d

This 'national sovereignty' and 'world order' degrade didn't start with this war. Russians are now just using our double standards. They don't recognise our sui generis. You can call it whataboutism or however

Not only it wasn't out of nowhere but there was an actual war going on for 8 years before the Russian invasion started.

Don't spread lies. Serbia is not supporting Russia in the war on Ukraine. For proof please check how they voted in UN. They condemned the Russian agression on Ukraine and voted to suspend Russia from Human Rights Council. Your Wikipedi

I don't find anything brainwashing in Peppa Pig and Bluey, both of which are a huge hit with the kids/toddlers. I watched many episodes of both and in my opinion they are great.

Indeed. I find it funny how we see a big push to return to office these days. I've been in 'hybrid mode' for years before the pandemic. Sometimes fully remote and sometimes with irregular visits to the office if there was an

Serbia is not Russian ally. It strives to join the EU and is neutral in military sense. They declared armed neutrality in 2007 and there was no change since then. They regularly hold exercises with both NATO and Russian Federation.

I am the same. Grew up with the Internet in the beginning of 90'. I have my phone always on silent and notifications mostly disabled. I work on a computer and online all day and have no issues with 'going away' from it. When

Great that I can vote multiple times. I left jobs because of life balance and flexibility but I consider both subsets of company culture.

I took a new position in March this year and only accepted it after they agreed to 4 day workweek. I took 20% pay cut. One of the best decisions I made in my life. I wish all people who can, to do this. There's nothing you'll miss

Our new SUV (Honda CR-V Hybrid) has less blind spots than any sedan and hatchback I had in the last 20 years. Life is also much easier with SUV once you have children. Safety features are amazing on CR-V although not much more than Civic 20

I have no issues with this but I worked from home before the pandemic. Once it's 17:30 or so that's it. Close the computer and go my way. No matter how much stuff needs to be done. Once it's time it can wait till tomorrow.
