Mr. Tracy. Your average article is great. But this sets a new record!

As someone who had a car overheat in the middle of nowhere at 10pm, I can tell you what nervously watching the needle is, for sure.

Oh,  it was well over a day. I was just there for that day, though.

Was it only a one-day affair? That must be a nod to our Western traditions; turnt Indian weddings can go on for a week of celebrations...

I am glad you had fun.

Anyone who’s ever had a car overheat can relate to the anxiety that comes with sitting at a stoplight or in stop-and-go traffic for an extended period of time, nervously watching the needle and hoping it doesn’t start climbing.

David Tracy the whole drive:

Points taken away from your comment for using the word “filming” when referring to digital video.

Yes. I was at a crossing with no train in sight yet all the arms were down. After a few minutes I called the number, gave the crossing ID, and the arms were up fairly quickly.

Train now, or “Train!!!” later.

“...Should you ever find yourself in a vehicle beached on the tracks and you have enough time to get to safety, look for a blue sign containing an Emergency Notification System phone number affixed to one of the posts. Snap a picture of it if you can, as that number will connect you with a train dispatcher — then get…

The “discrete” laptop graphics they cite for the comparison is a Lenovo which appears to be spec’d with a 3050ti based on the model number they show.

I said it in the greys, but no. If you look up the laptop they’re referencing on that dumb chart it has a 3050Ti. That’s a lot slower than even a mobile 3080. Something like 30-40% less performance in most benchmarks. I mean, if they’re really getting that out of 30 watts that’s still very impressive (and that’s a bit…

it is...

The way they tried to say “ we added new ports” instead of “we returned the ports we took away because everybody let us know repeatedly about how dumb an idea it was for 5 years now” probably wasn’t lost on many macbook users.

Is Max better than Pro? All these corporate buzzwords are confusing. At least my iPhone 12 Pro Max has the decency to put them altogether.

Here’s the important part: The Pro starts at $1,999 for the 14-inch version and $2,499 for the 16-inch model. Those are tough prices to stomach, although not totally out of the ordinary for top-of-the-line laptops, and the performance gains might be impressive enough to warrant them.

I buy from carmax so I don’t have to deal with people. It is like shopping at Target vs Walmart for the same reason. Costs more but you get the luxury of not having to deal with the people. 

4th Gear: I guess the silver lining is that the high pressure pumps usually arent in the tank like the low pressure pumps and should be an easier fix.

1st Gear: The US Army in Iraq found it was far cheaper to pay off the warlords than to fight them.
