Just to be abundantly clear I think this is a terrible idea. But I'd like to see it dispassionately debated on its merits. One could make the argument that "sufficient therapy" is reminiscent of the "no true Scotsman&quo

I have the ultrafine 5k. 27 glorious inches @ 218ppi. Not only does this provide a colossal amount of real estate for crisp text (I run with no scaling, which requires good eyesight), but combined with a macbook pro, provides a near perfect

BMW is also massively insecure. My "secret token" I had to enter on my phone to link it with the car was the VIN number. That number is physically stamped into the engine block and chassis so obviously cannot be changed, even afte
