why not amazon? you can return any SBA/FBA hardware no questions asked. cpus are not exactly at a high risk of counterfeits. microcenter is pretty good if there's one near you, but otherwise not worth ordering from online imo.

everyone has their own taste I suppose. my next car will likely be a gr86 if I can get one for MSRP. it will be slower, less practical, and have a worse interior than my current DD. but I expect it will be much more fun to drive. I've

before I have bots, I usually put down a minimal production line that doesn't saturation a belt. I place them perpendicular to the main bus, so they can be 2x'd or 4x'd before saturating an output belt or fully consuming an i

maybe we are talking past each other, but I'd say clean interfaces and bots are very important even if you don't want to tear down the original factory. you want to be able to double production of high volume products with a coupl

I disagree. word definitions are not handed to us by god; we get to choose useful ones. to me, the "negative consequences" bit is what makes "addiction" more specific than "habit", which can be of bad, neutral,

I guess, but if there truly are zero negative consequences, it's not really a problem that needs to be solved. I have a compulsion to have one or two cups of coffee every morning. is it useful to describe myself as a coffee addict?

I worked at several restaurants, and not high end ones. on average, I probably made 25% over minimum wage. I had essentially zero marketable skills at the time, so my only alternatives actually paid minimum wage. I was a big fan of tipping.

no, it isn't. whenever you have more than one lane per direction on a limited access highway, the left lane is for passing only. it's not for people who find dealing with onramp traffic annoying.

the kaby lake xps 13 linux skus had a different wifi card that was more reliable on linux (and arguably in general). could be some other subtle differences like that. to me it's easily worth $200 to not deal with those sorts of issues.
