I mean, the obvious answer is 'do something else', but it's kinda up to you what that is, and also depends on your situation. If you are single with no dependants, then it can be anything you want. Do something where you don

As best as I can tell (and maybe I'm just missing the fine print somewhere), the base models probably ship with something like a i5-4278U? They might actually be shipping with some variety of a generation 3 i5? I dunno. The Air'

It's less about it being 'foreign' and more about it being totally unparsable. The thing with imperative programming is that you don't really need to know the language to at least get an idea of what's happening. Li

First, the culture of the state is being 'ruined'. One of the neatest thing about growing up in rural ND with roots in small towns is that your network of people automatically extends about 100 miles in any direction. Just last
