Aren’t we all one mistake away from becoming billionaires?
Not really.
My ThinkPad X1 Carbon is around 2.5 lb. So thin that sometimes I forget it’s in my backpack.
Battery life is at least 5 hours when working but when I’m just reading and doing light things can be way more. (With Linux).
I barely notice the fan even when transcoding and CPU at peak.


The committee should re-award it given that the recipient doesn’t value it.

How many bad cops he caught. Notice that that’s my yardstick.


Did you read that the sell includes logistics and software? Do you really think it doesn’t have a kill switch to avoid “friendly fire”?


All he had to do was move aside.
The woman wasn’t a threat to him. He was a threat to her and her death proves it. She moved the car after he pulled his gun.
Ignoring unlawful commands is not a crime but she was shot for that.


Any combat veteran who went to “free” (invade) another country to defend US interests (this means to steal from other countries) may fit this bill.
However, don’t forget that, for some poor people it’s the only door left open to survive in the US.
Don’t forget that many were drafted and lied to.


There aren’t exceptions when the “good cops” are turning a blind eye on the “bad apples”.


I originally thought not ACAB, but until the “good cops” start arresting the “bad apples”, corrupt, prepotent, wife beaters, drug traffickers, sleazy, etc. I will conclude ACAB.
The only ones who get arrested are those who commit egregious offences that the public are aware of and leadership cannot swipe under the rug. And then the “Investigation” shows that there were already multiple reports of previous wrong doing and that their bosses and other cops already knew.
Was he the “bad apple” or was it the whole force which knew what he was doing?
You’d need a police force with zero bad apples for me to believe that not ACAB.
We need to accept that to really fix the situation.
I grew up in mexico where corruption is endemic. One day, my mom was complaining about corruption pointing fingers. I told her that I left mexico because it’s impossible to live there without being corrupt. That, if you give money to a corrupt police officer or any other bureaucrat you are corrupt, and most of the time it’s not even a choice. If you didn’t report wrong doing because “nothing will be done” you are corrupt.
So, It’s my observation that ACAB.


Canada is very far from Mexican consciousness.


Thanks for the correction.
Just the first step 😔


I am Mexican Canadian.
Mexico hasn’t forgotten about all the stolen territory. Yes, they call it sale and secession and whatever, it was stolen.
If I put a gun to your head and ask you to sell me a property you have for $10. You are going to do it. I’d say I purchased it. I’m sure you’ll say I stole it.
So, why do disagree?
Because of the wise reflection of “first they came for the…”
Well. If we don’t stand against them taking over Venezuela, who is going to stand with us when they try to take over us (Greenland, Canada, Mexico and the rest)
The manifest Destiny is no joke.


Where did you study?
People who grew up in mexico and other Latin-American countries learn that America is the continent and the people are Americans.
When Spaniards “America” was the region’s South to the US colonies. For Portuguese, it was Brazil.


Mexico (and many other countries) has an official name and a unique coloquial one.
The US only has an official name and they appropriated the coloquial one which already meant the whole continent.
It wasn’t an accident in language. It was deliberate.


And you really think they are the ones fighting?
They remove social services and the only out for poor people is the army.


Venezuela should have been the line. Want to make it Greenland? So, they can take mexico, Cuba?
Each inch they take is too much. They have proven that they are following the Fascist guidebook.
Venezuela is the first step. Same as Hitler with Poland.
A story as old as time.
For many adults, children are at the same time “smarter than their parents” and also “more disrespectful than their parents at their age”.
And children think that the old people “left them without opportunities”
They’ve been saying that before biblical times.
The funny thing is that I’ve observed that children who blame adults become the adults who blame children.
The well adjusted children become well adjusted adults who don’t blame others.
Stop it about boomers.
Some boomers, yes, but also some GenX and millenials.
In fact, the last election was heavily influenced by millenials shifting to the right.
But of course, not every milenial
Dividing based on age is part of the political agenda.
I don’t think you want to solve the issue. At first blush it seems to me you have an alt account arguing the opposite.
That’s the only reason I can think for someone starting a post with “boomers”.
Not a very good actor, but seems like a good person and he’s funny. He worked hard to be where he is so sure “the rock” is fine.
