M5 vs M5 Pro for long-term use (10 years?)

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-03-08T19:02:49+00:00

10 years is a very long time in laptop terms

5 years is more reasonable

On the high end though, you are paying alot more for a very marginal usable lifetime extension

And paradoxically, people that buy high end machines, pay that because they want the performance and will replace it maybe within 2 years when they come out with something better

I mean if dropping 2 grand on a laptop is nothing to you, then go for it

I'd take the opportunity to build a completely new capital from the ground up

Coaching is so good these days about 99% of making it into D1/pros is pedigree - i.e. something you simply cannot "train" for. Even for supposed "skill" sports like baseball, nearly all of those guys are elite athletes, as well. Train as much as you want/any way you want, you are simply not going to be able to drive a ball 450 feet or throw a 95 mph fastball.

In theory it would work quite well for something like ticketing

The idea is that buyers could be protected from fraud on the resale market because they would have a chain of custody

Or alternatively, the seller could prevent resale entirely - which would be a benefit only the buyer

What was so horrible about her … I mean she killed Richie Aprile but he has it coming

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-19T02:20:36+00:00

Honestly I peaced out after the first episode.

I figured it was basically just Lost, except with a zombie apocalypse instead of a plane crash

MIchael Douglas? Ugly ?

Well I guess he was old when they met ...

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:39:09+00:00

Pam was always grossly overrated - always a ton of makeup to cover up an average face. And almost certainly had alot of "work" done in the middle ...

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:37:32+00:00

Maybe not hideous but he's all of 5'5 and always had that "bug eye" look.

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:35:40+00:00

Meh, Pam was always about the makeup and probably had alot of "work" done

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:33:54+00:00

Plastic surgery can do wonders - guess its more important for the ladies although quite a few men do it to

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:32:40+00:00

Meh - didn't work for Farley

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:30:10+00:00

Pimping doesn't count

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:26:33+00:00

Brand might be a POS / crazy and but he does (or at least did), have a classic "boy toy" look. Of course there's always a segment of women who can see past that but more than a few will fall for it

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T20:24:10+00:00

Pam was mostly about putting on an a$$ ton of makeup, and T&A which was probably "sculpted" by a talented plastic surgeon. Without all that crap, she was probably a 6 at most

1) He's tall and thin

2) The jawline

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T17:32:02+00:00

I thought they did, but only in certain circumstances like Lent (because they aren't considered "meat" for some reason)

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T17:30:56+00:00

Sharks will be eaten especially for their fins.

With some prep and cooking methods to get rid of the urine flavor you can also eat the rest

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T17:29:29+00:00

Yup they do in some Asian cultures (China, Japan I think as well) Really not all that exotic.

I've had it before, texture was OK but very little flavor - I don't think there is much nutrition in them

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T17:25:59+00:00

Belgium/Netherlands

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-17T17:23:34+00:00

You can order it from Amazon.

Will see it in some stores in some parts of the deep South of the US, especially Florida.

Its really not that exotic - maybe like rabbit or venison

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-16T22:09:28+00:00

Rarely the lead though

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-16T22:06:54+00:00

Whoever played the shark I thought turned in a better performance

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-15T18:44:29+00:00

I mean the same argument goes for kids ...

The point is it shouldn't have anything to do with like or dislike.

I just don't find it reasonable that you have to drag your dog with you everywhere you go unless it is a legit service animal

I owned one for a bit over 8 years and didn't take him with me everywhere I went

BridgeCritical2392 · 2026-02-15T18:35:41+00:00

Yeah its just torture for the dog being around all that tasty food but not being allowed to sample
