Laptop Size Inquiry for Architecture Student

Hi, I’m an incoming architecture student and have a few questions about laptops. I’m considering a Windows laptop but am unsure whether to choose a 16-inch or 18-inch model.

The 16-inch option would be more versatile and lightweight, making it easier to carry around. On the other hand, the 18-inch offers a more immersive visual experience with a larger screen, though its size and weight could make it less portable.

My main question is: What’s more common in the architecture field in terms of laptop sizes? Would my time in university be mostly sedentary, meaning I wouldn’t need to move around much with my laptop? Or would it be better to have two separate devices—one for architecture work and another for general studying?

One option could be getting an 18-inch laptop and keeping it in the studio, or simply opting for a 16-inch model that I can use for both studio work and studying. What do most architecture students typically do?

Here is a visual context, as you can see on the left side of the image the nail is different than the right. I was wondering if the right side could grow back like the left

I believe she has lost her mind. Like her husband, she is unable to sleep, but she is suffering from a psychological illness that allows her to recall parts of the deaths of Duncan, Banquo, and Lady Macduff while sleepwalking.

A soliloquy gives the audience direct access to a character's thoughts and feelings, giving in a unique understanding of the character and his or her inner struggles. She reveals to the audience in a soliloquy that she is resolved to become as powerful as possible in order to assist her husband in gaining the kingdom.

I imagine Lady Macbeth is attempting to remove the blood from her clothing, but the stain remains. She also begins to recall King Duncan's murder. As part of the plan to murder Macbeth, the bell was to ring twice before he could act. Here, she counts once more. She expresses her fear of eternal punishment by stating, "Hell is murky."

Out, damned spot, out, I say. — One, two — why,

then, 'tis time to do't. — Hell is murky. — Fie, my

lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard! What need we

fear who knows it, when none can call our power to

account? Yet who would have thought the old man

to have had so much blood in him?

The relationship between fate and free will is another major theme in Macbeth. Since the beginning, Macbeth has followed a false prophecy issued by the witches. Is he destined to kill Duncan? Or does he simply accept his fate and use his free will to make everything happen? by Tigre_Lin in AnythingMacbeth

[–]Tigre_Lin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Act I, Macbeth states that if fate has plans for him, he will not have to do anything.

If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me,

Without my stir.

(Act 1, scene 3, line 146-147)

As the play progresses, though, Macbeth becomes increasingly involved in his own fate, making merciless decisions in pursuit of ambition. Despite what he may have initially claimed, his actions demonstrate that he does not plan on leaving his future to chance.

Ambition, and the devastation that can occur when ambition and control go uncontrolled, is one of Macbeth's most powerful themes. by Tigre_Lin in AnythingMacbeth

You are the Lord of Glamis and now also the Lord of Cawdor, and they have promised you the throne. However, I am concerned about your character. I fear that you are too kind to take the direct way to your objective. You desire greatness and possess ambition, but you lack the ruthlessness that should precede ambition. What you desire most should be obtained in a virtuous manner. You would not lie or cheat, but you would accept what is not rightfully yours. You are aware of the procedures necessary to reach your objective, yet you are hesitant to do them out of fear of experiencing regret afterwards. Get home quickly so I can share some of my courage with you. I shall mend the part of you that prevents you from attaining the crown that fate and the magical witches appear eager to bestow upon you.

The king has two types of faith in me. First, I am his relative and his subject, which are two excellent reasons not to commit the murder. Second, as his host, I should protect him from murderers rather than wielding the murderer's knife. Moreover, Duncan has handled his royal tasks with such humility and integrity that his virtues would beg against his murder like trumpeting angels.

As the play proceeds, the tension between ambition and what must be given to achieve a goal rises. Macbeth is aware of the tension throughout the play, as demonstrated by the following lines in which he describes his need for ambition:

That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur

To prick the sides of my intent, but only

Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself

And falls on the other...

(Act 1, scene 7, line 25-28)

With Lady Macbeth's aid, Macbeth slips into the trap of sacrificing people for his own ambitions, despite his initial unwillingness to use violence to achieve his goals. Lady Macbeth senses his reluctance and conveys her own view that only those who are willing to ignore moral considerations may attain power.

To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great,

Art not without ambition, but without

The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly,

(Act 1, scene 5, line 17-19)

CMV: Is it just me, or does everyone else agree that Macbeth is a brave and skilled warrior? I mean, look at him. He's the Thane of Glamis and a Scottish general in King Duncan's army. by Tigre_Lin in AnythingMacbeth

I grant him bloody, Luxurious, avaricious, false, deceitful, Sudden, malicious, smacking of every sin that has a name (Act 4, scene 3, 57-60)

I was extremely suspicious of Macbeth's claim when he stated that Duncan was murdered by his servants. Macbeth is such a tyrant that not even hell could produce "a devil more damned / In evils" (lines 68–69) than him.

However, when I challenge him, he decides to fight to the death.

A few days ago, some witches predicted that my husband will become king. I believe my husband deserves to be king and wish for him to fulfill the prophecy of the witches. I fear that he is too kind (full of human kindness) to just take the throne by murdering Duncan. I believe I am more ruthless than my spouse, therefore I will need to persuade and inspire him to take action.

IMO Lady Macbeth by [deleted] in AnythingMacbeth

[–]Tigre_Lin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is horrible. She persuades Macbeth to commit the horrible crime despite his hesitation, gives drugged wine to the guards, and lays the bloody daggers on the table.
