Do you have anything I can read that explains why this must be true? I dont have a natural intuition that this has to be the case, nor one that its definitely false either though. I've always wondered if you just took billions from the

Anecdotally, in the last 6 months none of the parents of kids I went to highschool with have cold called asking about crypto shit. People aren't leaving crypto, cause they already have all left.

I'm gonna argue that all of those things are fungible commodities easily bought by the next supplier should they become unavailable from flyover country. Curious why you've lived for so long in a state you apparently have a lot of

Curious as to your line of thinking here. What exactly do the coasts need that only flyover country can provide? I live in a flyover state and I like living here just fine, but I find the idea that California is going to crumble if North Da

Yep, very easy. It'll take you maybe 4 hours, most of which will be downloading the prebuilt image of Catalina and watching install bar progress. https://github.com/mighildotcom/X230-Hackintosh is the guide i foll

I think I might do the nitromod to one of my backups ones. The 2K display is bitch'n, but not always worth the reduction in battery run time. I'd kill to get my hands on one of the fully custom 51NB X330 builds.

They've got all kinds of crazy screen mods for thinkpads these days. I've got a 51nb 2k mod in my x230, which gives it a 2K IPS display. That x230 is a tactile pleasure to do work on and I've got like 4 spares for backups si

I actually got scolded by the Intel rep for this one. Mostly she was mad that there was no way they'd let a loophole like the one I abused go through again next year, so her YoY numbers were gonna be awful.

Do you know what Kitboga and the like do to get themselves targeted by scammers? If I ever get calls like this I'll keep them on the line as long as I can as a kind of game. I get called like maybe once a quarter though.
