It is dumping here already.S'posed to get three inches of rain today...
had intended to dodge the forthcoming deluge and rode last night. still got rained on by a few intense showers. still, was a nice ride.It is dumping here already.
Going to be a messy ride later.
Same. Had a weird 2 minute (sounded like someone opened up a faucet over the house on high) downpour and now it's overcast.S'posed to get three inches of rain today...
Everyone picks on me because I always put on a light jacket or sweatshirt to do my shopping. I hate air conditioning in stores....SO COLD!The air conditioning in some of the stores and restaurants here is down right freezing. I’ll be taking a jacket to go grocery shopping.
agreed! next is the old, peeling paint on the trim!Beats the hell out of the old peeling, broken wood doors we had.
See them boards on the ground?agreed! next is the old, peeling paint on the trim!
Called off because work is stupid. Slept in, should probably go make some espresso, but damn it's comfortable in bed.
FTFYmost of my projects makes me feel like i'm having an aneurysm
I'm not going to weigh in too much on the conversation, but I feel compelled to mention how much I hate my current macbook air. It's fast enough, but the whole OS is designed for people who type with two fingers and have 9000 icons on their desktop. It's a good personal computer, but an absolutely dreadful productivity device. All of the things that make an iPhone great make a laptop terrible, and they're kind of the same on both.Morning. Working on cleaning the garage for graduation party setup (in case of rain and I think it's where I will put the food so it's out of the sun too). Supposed to rain a ton and have severe storms today so I want to get what I can done outside while it's just super humid and not storming. Cat brought in a chipmunk again...I am getting really good at grabbing them and throwing them out the door without getting bit so that's a plus.
Anyone have a recommendation for a decent (not crazy overpriced) laptop for a college freshman studying psychology, Spanish (maybe some BioChem for neuroscience ). We are debating PC vs. MacBook so all recommendations are welcome.
@Sandwich new doors look great!
Yes....this is why I don't like the MacBooks. I am a Windows machine kind of gal too!I'm not going to weigh in too much on the conversation, but I feel compelled to mention how much I hate my current macbook air.

I cannot wait to get back on a windows machine in a couple months. I can delete all of the special programs I need just to make this computer run the way I'm used to.
sounds like she'd just be doing some general word processing / office suite and web app stuff no? IMO as nice as apple products are, they are generally higher priced than comparable win machines these days, and for what it'd be used for i'm not certain there's any real benefit of mac over win.Anyone have a recommendation for a decent (not crazy overpriced) laptop for a college freshman studying psychology, Spanish (maybe some BioChem for neuroscience ).

She wants a MacBook (M2 or M3 and yes to the RAM/SSD) I was checking out the education store too...$1400 yikes! I'm going to need a third job to pay for her college supplies!@TreeSaw M3 MacBook Air is the way. At least 16 GB RAM and 512 GB of SSD. Remember to click through to the Apple Store for Education. Small discount
/me is working 4-10 pm. Dropped kid off via cargo bike. I think I’ll bust out the ramps and do some sweet jumps in front of my house in a bit
This was my argument as well. I'm not sure but I'm feeling like it's another status crap thing (Stanley cup mentality of a teenager).sounds like she'd just be doing some general word processing / office suite and web app stuff no?

Honestly I do love the immediate and incredible syncing of imessage and my photos. Yes windows has icloud but it's so handicapped compared to the real thing. It's incredible taking a photo with my phone then sending an email to a contractor with a typed message and that photo attached. Your daughter may love the thing because apple, but if I were looking for universal compatibility and something that would set them up for success in a professional environment, I think windows should do it. Seriously I can't even set my touchpad to scroll one way and my mouse to scroll similar to windows without a special program running. Simple answer is that apple doesn't want you to use a mouse, they want you on their touchpad.Yes....this is why I don't like the MacBooks. I am a Windows machine kind of gal too!
