As others have said, it really depends what you’re doing with it. If you just want to browse the web and look at images in 4k (don’t scoff at that - you’ll be surprised how much you’ll enjoy reading super-sharp text on a 4k display), most newish computers will be OK: I’d say a MacBook Pro or Windows Ultrabook from…

Google’s messaging strategy makes no sense.

Yep!

It’s close to the Mag Mile and all the shopping and hotels in the area, so there’s a ton of tourists around. Going east, you’ve mostly got high rises (and hospitals), but this location’s still a walkable distance (or short ride).

There’s literally hundreds of Porsche 911's from around the same time (say, 2005-2008) that have low-ish miles for the same price or less on Auto Trader.

An honorable mention has to go to to the Gym Shoe for a few reasons: First, that’s what everyone who grew up in Chicago calls what the rest of the country calls “sneakers,” and second, because it combines a lot of Chicago foods.

In my experience (over a decade living in Chicago), “natives” don’t really care about pizza unless they’re put on the defensive by someone (seriously, there’s a reason that the deep-dish joints are all located in touristy areas downtown, or suburbs far enough away from downtown where Chicago is more of an ideal than a…

Can we just talk about how rare stuff like this actually is? Like, yes, it’s disgusting, but we eat greens grown in essentially fields of shit, and meat that wallows in its own shit, and whatever else, and have throughout history.

Exactly. I’ve seen a couple places that take air-drying seriously, which also reduces the chance that you’ll have a residue, since its not like you change towels every glass. At one of them, I’ve seen people complain when they get handed a beer in a plastic cup during really peak times - which I get, but, given the…

It takes an automotive marker to call it that when, by the article’s description, it actually prevents you from exiting your vehicle at times.

Both statements can be true: Even if Acela is used to subsidize the rest of the network, you’d still want to do everything possible to protect your money-maker.

You’re generally right, but for most railroads, rolling stock (the trains) are considered part of their capital, and therefore, might be a target for infrastructure spending.

There’s not only no fire there, there’s no smoke. I’m trying to figure out why this would even have been classified; as far as I can tell, the only reason why is that it names Steele as the source of certain intelligence that the Intelligence Community later acted upon in a FISA court (where everything is classified).

I hate the catch-22 of so many of these fees: Because the Internet makes it so easy to compare dozens of hotels instantly, every hotel has an incentive to come through with the lowest-possible advertised rate; on the flip side, this gives them every incentive to add in fees that aren’t included in the rate.

Only Nintendo could generate this much enthusiasm amongst customers with a tweet that talks about a fiscal year.

To be fair, that Lambo looks more like what a 2018 Honda Crosstour Type R might look like:

Here’s the other side of using 1940s/50s tech: Before “retro” was a thing, Harleys capitalized on being “retro” bikes.

I mean, I get it, and actually cheered when Montana started this trend, but I’m still a litttleeee afraid of an America where we talk about “states’ rights” more often.

Counterpoint: How often do you search in a vacuum?

The thing that kills me is that the “rock” is really angled a lot more like a ramp if you backed up onto it, so the photo only serves as “proof” that your car can crawl up an incline slightly higher than you’d find at a multi level parking garage.
