Let's also get rid of golf courses in arid deserts in the midst of droughts

This is the route I'll probably go when it's time for me to replace my laptop. The 14" Lemur Pro looks perfect for my use case (ultra portable) although the Pangolin looks more powerful.

Been meaning to build a garden shed, so I plan on starting that this weekend

Kind of like how they killed off Poochie

OfferUp and craigslist can be decent for local stuff depending on your area

I don't like the "you actually don't own anything" model and try to buy physical media from independent stores.

A few that I frequent (besides local ones) are Powell's for books and The Rewind for movies. Discogs for music. Also, for audiobooks, checkout libro.fm. You can select an indie bookstore and they'll get part of each sale.

Or if you want to be frugal, checkout your local library. Besides tons of books, manga, movies, etc. a lot now have streaming services as part of your library membership.

That should be fine, just might need to reapply over time as it wears off. They actually say that no finish may be best for things like cutting boards, so could even get away with just leaving it as is.

I've also used Tried & True which is a blend of beeswax and linseed oil.

Like an IBM model M? Unicomp makes a modern version

Lots of blinking geocities and angelfire sites. Waiting for NetZero dial up to noisily connect. Buffering music and video clips.

Remember when they removed "don't be evil" from their code of conduct back in 2018

Finally finished one of the projects for my workshop (rolling cart for a bench top planer). Also, the weather's been nice so checked out a new park in the neighboring city.

Thanks, didn't know about the steelbook edition. Those sound like some cool extras, might have to pick it up
