I just got a refurbished 5th generation and I love it. I get 10 hours batter life running Manjaro with TLP. This is the first computer I've ever had where I never carry the power cord around. Amazing feeling. The best thing about it is

I will try. I didn't even know they were a thing. My CSS fluency is on a need-to-know basis!

Funny. I was just throwing together a little website and was trying to decide whether I should include Bootstrap for the sole purpose of laying out a grid. This looks like a better option.

The hypothetically optimal crypto system would be cheaper for merchants, correct? So it would have wider adoption than Visa, at the very least. I do agree that crypto keeps drifting away from p2p cash ... that's a good observation. But

Why can't you get rich building it? I doubt one would get rich as Bitcoin creators, but one could still make a killing .... Edit: And this stands to reason. We're relatively later in the game, and so new contributions are less fun

A big problem with liberal arts currently is it is burgeoning with new fields of study that are truly political movements masquerading as scholarship -- where liberal arts should only be motivated by the search for truth. So in a sense, the

And this is why it's such a difficult issue. College can be a transformative experience, and it is for many such as yourself. But many more are mired in debt and don't experience any increase in their abilities to think critical
