New York state requires you to present the physical card itself it to get a driver’s license. I had to have my parents get it out of their safe deposit box and mail it to me when I moved here. It’s also really dumb because there have been d

There’s something about the images here that makes me feel a more direct human association with the time–the silly doodle of a cat dressed as a monk, the drawing of a cat waiting expectantly for scraps from a dining table. I’ve always liked

Yeah it’d be one thing if their RAM (and disk) upgrades were reasonable, but $200 per 8gb just feels like bad value. I’ve been a Mac user for a long time and fine with paying a premium for a premium device, but the pricing on upgrades (when
