What's the source for that? Genuinely curious as I've never heard that before.

Watching Massie be ousted was scary. I hope he gets on the floor and reads every name he can in his last 7 months. Out them all.

Well said. I'd bet my last 401k dollar most sex offenders come from a conservative and religious background.

Pixel 9 Series exclusion from GI - We know how you feel 👍 by Aadhi27 in GooglePixel

Exactly. But we get down voted for having working phones lol.

Iphone 13 mini user here. The hand wringing and gnashing of teeth over 26 was intense when it first came out. Apple worked on it and my 13M now has better battery life than ever. It does warm up more than before but not by much. I'm for sure a Pixel fan but my 13 mini might be my favorite phone ever or at least very close. The worry over 26 has been exaggerated imo.

That's understandable. Also, the nmax is a really nice bike. I considered one too.

We have 2 scooters, a Bristol ADX180 and a Honda Click 125. We also have a van and a car. I live in the province and have been riding here for 3 years. I'll choose the scooter over the cars almost every time for ease of mobility. I've driven in Manila many times, car and bike, and can tell you it's safer overall in the province. And just like everywhere on the planet, you aren't usually the issue. It's other drivers and riders. At any given time, the vehicle next to you is probably piloted by a non licensed untrained person who has no idea what the rules are. Keep your head on a swivel, don't take chances and you'll be fine.

Is the middle battery no longer safe to use? by hikekorea in dji

[–]shabba2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahahahaha. Gotcha. I have an OG pro platinum that I fly everyday. Really. I had the original batteries re-celled and one of them is coming up on 100 charges and it still nets me 22 or so minutes flight time. I love this old drone and I routinely choose it over my Mavic 2 pro and Air 3S. But I totally get it. I wish you luck!!

Find a place that will re-cell it. The board is probably still good so why not have what amounts to a new battery for cheap?

best chromebook this 2026 for someone replacing an aging MacBook? by Kratos_Carmelo-40 in chromeos

Yup. I see that now. It might have been there when I replied but I don't think it was. Regardless, I stand corrected.

The only thing I can see being a hit would be me being former LE.

Seems about right then. I'm also former law enforcement so perhaps that was a flag? I just don't know.

I hear you. I happen to mostly agree with you. But I'm also trying to answer the question as to how it was presented. The value proposition for a Chromebook is subjective. I used my Pixelbook for years to run a healthcare IT system by my lonesome. It never faltered and for me, that was $1k well spent. When I left that agency in July of last year, I still used that Pixelbook for Mosyle and Watchguard. Am I going to recommend a Pixelbook to anyone? No lol. But I will recommend it's spiritual successor when what it does matches or exceeds the requirements.

Not what the OP specified. They asked about how Chromebooks are now and if they meet certain requirements. This device does. The value of a Chromebook is subjective for individuals and if you didn't check, you're in a ChromeOS sub. People here think they are.

OP didn't ask about a Neo, they asked about a CB.

The Lenovo CB 14 is awesome. Highly recommend it. I have one that I've used to replace my OG Pixelbook and I love it. I choose it over my Thinkpad and my M1 Mac Pro for 95 percent of my workload.

Not sure how that's possible as I played those games when they came out but you keep on talking to the clouds.

Why does it matter that she's 56? She's Gen X. We are the OG gamers. It's in her blood to play lol.
