    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.









  • 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.




  • 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.
