A netbook maybe? I used to have an old 10" lenovo netbook with a celeron CPU and 2GB of RAM. Worked pretty well with Lubuntu. I could even play StarCraft on it. If you just need it for light browsing and office tools, it should work fine. You can probably get one with at least 4 or 8 GB RAM for better performance.
I haven’t experienced this yet. However I went to a boba tea shop yesterday and after paying using Apple Pay, it prompted me to add the store’s rewards pass to my wallet. First time I’ve seen that and it’s very unwelcome.
Been a while since I had to buy one so might no longer be accurate, but an inverter-type window A/C will be more energy efficient than the regular one.
Lol at Snarky Puppy getting caught up in that search result.
What’s wrong with Apple Notes?
I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.
I remember we had a bootleg compilation CD of various artists and Teardrop was the first track. That led me to looking for their full albums.
Mullvad’s DoH service and Leta search proxy are free. You don’t need to have a VPN subscription to use them.
The Japanese airlines had the best food I’ve experienced. Then probably Emirates.
I think you have a different definition of ceiling/floor raiser than everyone else. It’s not just about winning.
To me, and most of the other people I’ve seen define those terms, a floor raiser elevates their entire team and makes their teammates better. So someone like Jokic or CP3.
A ceiling raiser is someone who has the potential to make an already good team even better. KD is the ultimate example of that. He can’t lead and carry a team, he can only add to an already good team that can do without him, with the Warriors as an example. He failed in Brooklyn because he was supposed to be the leader and he clearly is not one. He failed in Phoenix because that honestly was a poorly constructed team (redundant SGs, no PGs, stars are all iso scorers, and no depth), and Booker who technically is the leader isn’t a floor raiser either. KD is basically the lipstick on the pig. The success of his stint with the Rockets is not dependent on him, but how well their core does next season.
Curry and Kawhi are outliers in that they can be both. With Curry’s skillset and playstyle, you can plug him into any team and he raises your ceiling. At the same time, his sheer gravity gives his teammates the space to play well, which is why KD had all the space in the world with GS, because everyone was busy trying to stop Curry. Kawhi is a ceiling raiser by definition, but he was so good in his prime that he could carry an entire team on his back even without raising the floor of his teammates (i.e. Toronto). And to be fair, that was a well constructed team around him (Lowry, Siakam, Gasol, Green, and Ibaka).
Durant has always been a floor raiser, never a ceiling raiser
I think you got it the other way around…
That’s the thing. They ARE good as it is, they don’t need the foul-baiting and flopping. Not to mention they get away with a lot of physicality in the name of elite defense. That’s why their championship run was so frustrating to watch.
Welp, I guess that’s it. What an anti-climactic ending. Teams can only wish refs called their defense the way they do OKC.
This is where you see Hali’s importance. Their offense suddenly stops moving when he’s out. TJ is a good backup and has helped them a ton, but he’s not as great a playmaker.
And free throws. Those missed FTs will haunt them if they end up being down only a couple of points late in the game.
Nembhard, Nesmith, TJ, and Toppin need to collectively step up.
Definitely achilles. You could see it snap in the slow mo replay. Sigh.
The fucking devil came to collect. Dammit this was supposed to be an epic game 7. I mean it still can be, but would’ve been much better with everyone healthy.
I’m lucky that my city has a true IMAX theater and unlucky that it doesn’t have reserved seating, in this day and age. So I have to arrive an hour early just so I can stand in line and get a good seat.
“I don’t know why they’re running, but let’s chase them!”
Solid breakfast!
