  • I use a lenovo flip. I love the reversible hinge, but the flip functionality is quite buggy and the build quality is kind of crap.

    I’ve been eyeing a framework 13 for years now, but I don’t want to be wasteful by buying a laptop I do not need yet. They look really well supported and easy to work on.

    System76 has been a classic for a long time, but I’ve never had the money for one go their units.

    People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.

    That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.

    I had exactly two English teachers who were good, which was all I needed.

    One when I was young, taught me how to communicate and understand complex ideas properly.

    Another my first year of college, who taught me that deeper meanings and subtleties in fiction wasn’t entirely bullshit. Surprisingly, she did this by making us read Frankenstein and watch Blade Runner.

    Everything in the middle though…woof. Learning to write academic papers has no value unless you’re an academic, and the other 10 literature courses I took all just made me hate reading, even the year where we just read my 4 favorite books.

    Salads are just cold foods chopped up and mixed together with some kind of dressing. I.e. fruit salad, caprese salad, egg/chicken/tuna salad, etc.

    Using gelatin as the “dressing” is a regional thing. This would be called strawberry cumfart jello here, not strawberry cumfart salad.

    I also think only very old people still eat this shit. Gelatin in general is much less popular among young people, who want their food to vaguely resemble food.
