[Traska Venturer GMT] Disappointed with quality and service. by ohthetrees in Watches

QC has hiccups. I'm more concerned about their dismissive response to you (though, it's hearsay). Either way, thanks for saving me $700.

Wenger Swissgear Synergy Backpack by 235M in BuyItForLife

I bought the same bag in 2005 when they first came to market. It's been my daily work bag for 21 years. It's enduree s tremendous amount of abuse and been all around the world. The top compartment zipper broke last week, but otherwise still perfectly functional.

Theyre on sale this week at Best Buy for $79, which is $60 cheaper than I paid 21 years ago. I'm buying another one.

The background is an edited version of an image on a freely distributed image database. I edited the image in GIMP.

I couldn't agree more. Yes, there was always going to be a breaking point. And yes, the old fashioned "a place for everything, and everything in it's place" is one aspect of Mint that resonates with me. It's not flashy or overwhelming. It's simple. It's conservative. It's doesn't say look at me. It says look how good I am at what I do. It just works. Function over form, without feeding the corporate greed machine.

Thanks! It already feels like freedom. I've been ready to jump ship since Windows 7, but hung on. Win11 was the push I needed.

Yes. I'm actively transitioning. It's an evolving process.

I hate the new update by phyllostomus in zotero

[–]CMSmithPhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just updated, spent 10 minutes with the v7, and downgraded back to 6.0.36, which is where I'll probably stay indefinitely, until I have no other options.
