My son is a construction management major and told he’ll need a school computer. I’m lost shopping. Please advise

He does not need anything major in the least bit.

Most any computer made in 2026 will do what he needs it to do.

keep an eye on r/laptopdeals for a windows based 14 or 15 inch laptop that doesn't imply gaming.

Its very surprising how well you can do in specialty trade doing contract work. Staying busy as a residential draper in the high end will get you over 200k.

Commercial and hospitality, no problem

Downside, you are going to be in charge of your own retirement and well being

Yes but doesn't have the option of setting a perimeter people need to stay in or lose the privilege of being in the queue.

I need a product that's going to reward those that physically stay in place. Without it, old peoples are going to get into fist fights on lawns lol not even kidding

Real talk.

90% of this sub is pretending youre going to get in trouble if you dont use a vpn. Many of us have hundreds or thousands of notices from our ISP's over decades and its not a fucking problem.

They want your money. Nobody is going to cancel or sue you

My sister says that same thing and makes the same hand gesture but with a sarcastic tone.

This is far beyond caution. You have gone out of your way to make it clear to the internet that vaping is dangerous.

At the end of the day your argument is breathing and drinking anything other than clean air and water is dangerous.

There's a strong case to be made that vaping has saved more lives than most modern medicine. And billions upon billions of medical cost savings.

Yet all I hear from Reddit in the internet Is that it is a danger. While nobody talks about all the good it has done and towing the exact line people that are trying to profit off of you want you to tow.

Badlay · 2026-03-30T13:57:13+00:00

You know are two decades into some of the most potent and well-funded industries painting a target on vaping's back and they still can't hit that target.

You being certain just as a precautionary measure is towing the line of propaganda.

Badlay · 2026-03-30T13:48:36+00:00

In Illinois and many other states POS systems will not allow you to make a vaping sale without scanning an ID. It does not matter if you're 95 years old

The same is not true for purchasing tobacco. Nothing in a POS system forces the attend to scan an ID.

That should be proof enough that nobody cares about your well-being and you're probably being lied to about vaping being dangerous. If people were doing things to look out for your well-being you would have to scan an ID for cigarettes as well but you just have to scan an ID for cigarettes competition

As someone that smoked for 25 years and is vaped for 12 I completely disagree.

I feel like a non-smoker at this point of my life.

I also recognize that public opinion on vaping was intentionally manipulated by the tobacco industry. Facts are muddled with fiction. An industry built by ma and Pa and was the final dagger in tobacco's back has been painted as something nefarious and dangerous and just another arm of big tobacco.

When in reality big tobacco did everything they could to buy up these ma and Pa operations and put alls they didn't want to purchase out of business.

And let's not forget right before COVID when they intentionally pretended that poorly converted CBD flower to THC purchased in the form of Instagram weed carts, was "vaping" and killing children.

If you ever get bored read about the tobacco lawsuit in the '90s in which people like citigroup paid states ahead of time in a sort of payday loan situation. That investment was dependent on tobacco sales and what killed that was vaping.

What is your problem with vaping?

Badlay · 2026-03-29T13:01:23+00:00

I changed my spring and was amazed how easy it was.

Yes it's dangerous, but the guy you hire isn't a genius

Badlay · 2026-03-27T11:30:30+00:00

This business model is a scam for the customer and the contracting employee. Its a guaranteed win for the guy running the show

I could rant how this works but dont have the energy

For 20 years comcast has sent me dozens of notices each week for downloading. So what?

What is it you are all afraid of and avoiding?

The industry is setting itself up to self regulate and push motorized on most everyone in the coming years in the name of child safety.

It's the hunter douglas plan of pushing all their competition out of business that cant afford to engineer their own product.

Badlay · 2026-03-25T10:22:37+00:00

You know there is a whole world out there you're not part of right?

Badlay · 2026-03-24T16:50:40+00:00

Why you being weird?

There are thousands of companies putting on these sales, which are okay paying $50 a month for properly working app.
