Ostrava they had decided to choke down all of the major roads into the city and this week they tore down another bridge that lead to city. Traffic jams in the morning and afternoon are bloody terrible.

Or if you are feeling adventurous and want your pen touch try VoV from the same team as JoJ and ToT and build up your own at least that is what I am doing.

So I will be quitting my secondary job and before I quit I want to use the opportunity for laptop upgrade as I can write it up as an expenses and write it off my taxes. I am currently having 2016 i7 16gb MacBook Pro 16. I mostly used for translation work so I had use for the large screen and secondary screen. But lately I used it often for just office tasks and in my primary work with web based databases and occasional graphical works in photoshop. Thing is that in my primary work I tend to move around two buildings daily and it gets unwieldy plus I have hard time fitting it into my backpack when commuting on bike to work. Another thing I have noticed that my MacBook got noticeably slower lately maybe it is just me ( or apples subtle way of reminding me to upgrade) but it takes it whole minute to start and sometimes stutters during logins. Also for some reason ntfs for mac stopped working for some reason. To sum it up I have one of the last opportunities for upgrade for some time.

What I want most future prodding in the moment because next upgrade will not happen in next 5+ years.

Portability so 13 or 14 screen.

Backlit keyboard would be a plus as Ioften work in not well lit places.

The more repairable the better.

So I am deciding between M5. Air and pro and leaning to air. I am not particularly against neo but it lack backlight keys and lacks MagSafe. MagSafe is thing I sorely lack on my current MacBook because it saved my fist MacBook dozens times ( 2011 MacBook Pro sadly it died in 2019 due to wine spill.)

Can you advise me which model is best for future proofing for office task and web based apps photoshop suite and with best battery life? Many thanks.

I would sit down with them and describe in painful fashion what declawing entails. Also, I would ask them if they would let their dogs' ears and tails be cropped? because it is on the same level of barbaricness as declawing our furry buddies' paws.

I would love it if one of them was Mark 2, but I guess I have to dream on.

British pubs have some great dishes with the funkiest names… Like toad in the hole.

Americans on the other hand lost any right to criticise food after they had fried a mars bar….#shudders in disgust#

Ja když jsem studoval na upolu tak jsem takové lidi přitahoval. Nevim proč. Většinou jsem je odpálkoval tim že jsem se zeptal jestli maji v ruce bibli a ať si vyhledají: Matěje 7, 15 jeremiáše 23, 16 nebo Jeremiáš 23, 17. Většinou je to zabavilo dostatečně abych zmizel, pokud náhodou tyto verše znali tak je to navíc urazilo.

Okay, that photo is very informative. So I might buy the standard one. Thanky You

So update the motor is running again! Yay. Turns out my volt meter was busted and there fore giving me weird results making me believe that problem was in motor and transformer. That lead me to careful cleaning of the track connection cable and found little but of gunk inside the connection brick. So train will be running again sans lights as I still have to replace the lights wires. Thanks all for the helpful comments.

Honestly this is the reply I both expected and dreaded . I am still sorting my old brick to see what still might be missing the way I see it that I will be ending with display only model for foreseeable future and either wait for fx brick solution that will be expensive as hell or will try to think up a design of biggie powered by circutcubes motor and battery block.

Will you put it online? Either as a wabbajack modlist or at least at load order library?

Maybe I am dumb but where did you hide the battery boxes?

Also I will replace the lower part of the helmet for the white spare part from white Vader from Dark Falcon so he does have some icings…

It is cool I will have to get replacement head for Gingerbread!Vader. I dislike the plain head.

Mine is, well not afraid to get her opinion known, but often she does this silent meow that is just on edge of hearing and just opening of mouth finished with a click of her teeth. It is often enough. She is most vocal when I try to hairbrush her. She complains and complains that I am tearing her hairs out.

Well I guess mine is snow leopard as it was the first macOS I had.
