I had a 9" HP mini 2140– the keyboard was surprisingly good given its size.

It’s just a shame the build quality matched the price and they fell apart in short order.

I contacted their customer support and had them delete my account. I also sent them an email as to why, and stated I’d be telling everyone I know not to shop at REI.

Fuck them.

Jack D. Ripper had it right.

Just get them on motorcycles.

They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.

Pretty sure it’s a joke/reminder about jury nullification. “Luigi Mangione obviously isn’t guilty – the guy they got on camera looks nothing like him.”

One day you’ll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own … and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.

The worst part is you’ll still mentally feel like you’re not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

You can’t get a manual gearbox here any more.

Huh, let’s see why

Another factor contributing to the discontinuation of manual transmissions is the increasing emphasis on safety features and the integration of advanced driver-assist technologies.

Ew.

That was the original meaning, but it’s also been co-opted by assholes as an “argument” against providing for people’s basic needs.

Technology has never been the problem: there’s nothing wrong with genetic engineering, AI, etc. They can (and have) been used for good.

The problem has always been the “greed is good” sociopaths using it for evil.

Noodles are composed mostly of starches and heat causes gelatinization: which gives noodles their texture, taste, and holds them together. It also kills off any pathogens, which is a good things since it’s fairly common for raw flour to be contaminated with E. coli and Salmonella.

Cold water causes them to revert back to wet flour.

$5 says it was a Garmin inReach device.
