Of course that’s how you see it. I see it as you not wanting to have an open discussion and unwilling to provide anything other than your opinion. Thanks for the conversation. 

$1,200 iteration with a non-touch 1080p display, 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and an i5-8265U CPU. We’d love Dell to provide larger storage or more RAM, but this is still a dang fine deal.

Yeah maybe Barney Frank can step up, or Elliot Spitzer or maybe Wiener will be out of jail in time? Too bad Teddy Kennedy is dead, he could really hammer Trump on womanizing and you know, killing women in drunk driving accidents.

I never said there was nothing we can do. You, on the other hand, seem determined that it’s your way or the highway. Here’s a link to an article that highlights what I’m saying. It’s not a slam dunk that reuse is better than recycling, though it has to potential to be.

That’s awesome. What GPU did you have before?

I don’t think I’m saying there’s no way to handle that, I’m saying that they way you want to handle the issue may not be the most cost effect or the best for the environment. Other than opinions neither of us has produced any actual cost or impact data. I’m just trying to point out that sometimes what you might think…

Don’t get your panties in a wad, I misread your cooler comment as a typical Coleman cooler. While this is a good idea I would really like to see a more extensive breakdown of environmental impact for individual bottles of water versus water coolers and reusable containers.

That’s true in some cases, but I do think that large corporations do long term planning. That may not be apparent to the public but it’s there. Depending on many factors that strategy may change, significantly, over time. You are correct that there is a 90 day focus in many companies, especially if they are publicly…

but Best Picture material, it was not

Not sure if this is in response to the Flint comment but I don’t see how putting bad water from the tap into a cooler really addresses the bad water problem. 

Not having uniform bottles for a product is not a simple answer. First, how would you automate filling these bottles when they are potentially different sizes and shapes. How do you put labels on non-uniform bottles? How do you package and ship them? Uniformity is important in optimizing the storage and display on…

To be clear, I’m not advocating for (plastic) bottled water, per se, just that I see for some people it’s more convenient. This is why I mentioned water in paper containers instead of plastic.

Hot water might do the trick, though I don’t think it’s as simple as just dropping them into a sink. Plus not all labels are paper and there’s the question of how to handle the refuse of labels, some of which may be paper, some plastic, that results from soaking them off. And of course what about bottles, like beer…

Have you ever tried to soak off the labels for 1000 bottles? And, as I mentioned, some wine bottles have painted on labels so that would take more than soaking them. Then you have to wash them before you can use them and also you need to package and store them until you need them. All of these things will cost you in…

One could argue that all those Boeing jobs in South Carolina could have been here in Washington. I also know that Boeing is moving more jobs out of Bellevue to SC. And while Amazon is growing in leaps and bounds much of that growth will happen outside Washington, at lease initially.

Yes Seattle has enjoyed quite a bit of growth and yet Boeing moved it’s headquarters to Chicago, Amazon is looking for a non-Seattle second location and people can no longer to afford to live in the city. If you’re holding up Seattle as some shining example I’d say think again. Horrible traffic, crime, parking is a…

Soda tax, high property taxes, head tax (now repealed), high sales tax and now they want to introduce an income tax on high wage earners.

I like this quote from the article

Last week, the company abandoned plans for a Seattle development after opposing a “head tax” on big businesses to support homelessness services and affordable housing.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not. Context does matter but just because a slur includes whites doesn’t mean it’s not racist or offensive.
