The Lenovo X1 Carbon is great and the Costco deal mentioned below made me really think about it, but 1080p screen is just not great these days and really constrains working screen real estate. Have you considered Google Pixelbook? 16GB RAM,

We are still not addressing root issues - mental health and inaction of law enforcement on credible tips. Taking guns away helps reduce damage, but those intent on doing harm will still find ways to take at least one life (or at least attem

That’s the point - we don’t know what “environmentally sensitive way” is. We have a bunch of assumptions and predictions, but cannot guarantee the outcomes precisely because we haven’t done it yet. The question is should we even try or is i

Ultima Online launched in 1997, but development goes back way before that. A core part of the game economy was gold that could be used for trade between players, as well as NPCs (non-player characters). https://en.m.wikipedia.org

While China’s use of data has a lot fewer restraints than US/EU, another interesting question to consider is how the government will react when the jobs of their population start to go away and unrest set in. If we are sitting on a pow

Charts don’t have the same scale. As the result, it’s hard to visually compare these - for example, for juniors, the shapes are similar for score 4, but top tier school students are above 20 mark, while the rest are below. Interviewing is e
