I wanted to buy $100 of bitcoin in HS and couldn't figure out how. Would have been like $60,000,000 :ccc

I've only read the two, but I remember being skeeved out when I read it and feeling very validated when I read Galatea.

I think Richard Powers is a sex weirdo who comes up with elaborate novel structures to contain his tulpa gf's in. I was really put off by the woman in the last short story who goes from bimbo to sexy ghost. That felt prototypical for how he sees women. He also admits to stalking and creeping on one of his grad students in his autofiction Galatea 2.2. The short stories were beautiful but the novel itself felt poorly executed with a lot of cut plot threads.

The poorly-animated cast of the spin-off series barely resembles the characters we know and love

Not seeing the downside lol

It seems like a lot of things you want to do on your phone are unnecessary. Why not just use the banking websites in your browser at home? Why not just keep a paper calendar?

Henry Cavill feels like a caricature of a nerd. Happy for him!

This is like the last 2008 style meme produced

 

I am not especially tech-literate and very clumsy. I want to buy a thinkpad that I can set up as a privacy machine. I mostly use my computer for web browsing and messaging and don't need something especially powerful, just something that can run bloated web pages easily and I won't have to think about again for at least half a decade.

Ideally, I want something around $300. Does anyone have recommendations for models to shop for? Anything the size of the T-Series would be adequate. I'm not a gamer or do video editing so no graphics card requirements.
