I still have a Dell Precision M4800 with Linux. I rarely use it anymore though.

I did buy it clearance from the previous year model if that helps.

My Lenovo P15 is from 2022 and going well. Only reason I'm looking for a replacement is it weighs 7lb without the giant power brick and I don't need dedicated graphics anymore. Planning to get a smaller business laptop but I'm waiting for a deal.

I considered putting one on my wishlist but ultimately decided not to.

This one's the best.
That's just my two cents.

I remember interest only loans.
What about interest negative loans? With a balloon payment when you move out?

I think lying is different for facts vs promises. Like "It's not raining" when people are getting wet gets minimal punishment but "I'll stop the rain" and then turning fire hoses on the crowd might.

I'm wondering what percentage of stockholders in these companies are Americans.

My mom has a flight from one small airport to another with a stop in Atlanta coming up but it's the week after Thanksgiving so I'm hoping she'll be able to come.
At any rate, if she can't, there will be bigger problems.

Pretty much the same.
My mortgage on my 3br2ba 1/3acre is also $1100 and the 2br2ba apartment I left 10 years ago at $750 is now $1565.
Having frozen that expense is what gives me the money left over to support my mom who's being priced out of her independent living apartment.

Here's the promised longer explainer:

So bad.
I made homebound deliveries for the food pantry today because we ran out on Saturday and we had to restock. The SNAP stoppage is hurting.

I had already been using Metamucil and was still having a good deal of constipation on the Zepbound. It got a good deal better when I started having a MexiCoke each day.

I went ahead and asked work for smaller pants a while back (very painful) and now I think I'll have to again.
Painful because all the old ones disappeared and only half showed back up. I

I thought I had plateaued but in the last few weeks I've lost a few more lb.

And they all make you play whack-a-mole to get rid of them.

I would call the president who routinely blocks Communion to the imprisoned the most anti-Christian president in history.

Wishing you (and others) safe travels and no strandings.
