Smithers,
Why did you choose the 14” Pro vs. the 16”?
…M

I had actually originally bought the 16". The screen was lovely but I didn't really like how it was bigger and more unwieldy.

My thought process went like this: regardless of whether I have a 16" laptop or 14" laptop, the screen is still going to be too small for me to be fully comfortable and productive. I'm going to need my multi-monitor setup anyway. So I might as well optimize for portability and just plug in to my external displays when i'm back at my desk.

For some the 16" is optimal for them of course, and that's totally fine.

Thank you Smithers! Very helpful. I appreciate the time you took to respond. Have a great day.

Today I learned that I'm chaotic evil.

I never get tired of D&D references.

I finally have two monitors, but only because I have both a Mac and a Dell on my desk.

Wow. One Monitor and one Merry-Mac.

Dualstow, no comment on this? No need for war, be civil. Hello, hello, hello, there is no naval gazing allowed.

I puzzled over it. Is it a reference to the USS Merrimac?

Yes, and the Monitor, and the Civil War, and a naval battle.

Oh, I think we learned about the Monitor in grade school. Really low to the grou— to the surface.
Haven’t thought about it for decades. Very clever, M

I discovered cryptocurrencies years ago but I was not interested to invest in them. I have some friends which began to buy crypto recently and I will start buying Bitcoin soon

Do you have parents?

The Musk-Trump battle today has been interesting.
Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.

Bought a Kidde wifi smoke alarm that wouldn't shut off. Woke up entire building. After hours of research, I suggest
- Not Kidde, maybe 1st alert
- Photoelectric
- At least one (if wired interconnected alarms) capable of sending text message alerts
-10 year battery. replace 8 years after manufacture date

Have Govee water leak detectors but will look into this https://old.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comme ... c_shutoff/

Good channel https://www.youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections/videos

I hate the Kidde alarms.

I was reading about the infamous killing of Georgi Markov ( yes, hi, Vil ) which allegedly involved the use of an umbrella gun and a ricin “bullet.”

The bullet with the ricin was made of 90% platinum
and 10% iridium.

Have a swell day, everyone

Not to be too picky, but if the bullet were exactly 10% iridium and 90% platinum there was no possibility that it contained any ricin. Just saying from one who values precision in words.

On April 12, President Donald Trump gave a 60-day deadline to reach an agreement with Iran.

Today is day 61.

So for those of you keeping track:
• Trump says he will end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Putin tells him to pound sand. War is now worse than ever.
• Trump says he’ll solve the Gaza war. That war is now worse than ever.
• Trump tells Bibi not to strike Iran to give him space to negotiate. Bibi strikes Iran two days before talks.
Does it seem like world leaders respect Trump?

BREAKING: An Israeli official just told the Jerusalem Post “We presented the American administration with evidence of Iran's breakthrough toward a nuclear bomb. There was full and complete coordination with the Americans."

Meanwhile the Trump administration says Israel acted “unilaterally.”

Which is it?

When your enemy can kill your entire General Staff in seconds after bloodlessly disabling all your air defenses, you should consider not attempting to develop a nuclear program.

BREAKING | Message from Iran's Supreme Leader to the Iranian people:

"To the great nation of Iran:

This morning, the Zionist regime stained its filthy and blood-soaked hands with a crime on our soil, revealing its vile nature more clearly than ever by targeting residential areas. The regime must now await a severe punishment.

By God’s will, the powerful hand of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will not let it go unanswered.

In the enemy’s attack, a number of commanders and scientists were martyred. Their successors and colleagues will immediately carry out their duties, God willing.

With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared a bitter and painful fate for itself—and it will surely face it.

Sayyed Ali Khamenei
13 June 2025."

When a terrorist state keeps trying to kill you while chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel", you either do something about it

Or you have a death wish

Israel is doing something about it
