The return of... Bopopolis...

Edit: Oh wait. That was Tropical Freeze. Nvm then. Back to my slumber.

I just bought the Slimbook Executive and although there's I'm not a fan of the charger, it's a beast.

Eating Slim Jims.

You can cut it with a knife or a jab saw. It's used in AC installation all the time.

Expanding spray foam.

Chrome is the new Internet Explorer.

Matrix is the new Star Wars.

Their XPS' have gotten worse IMO. I have an XPS now running Linux Mint and it seems fine. Issue here or there.

I went to buy a new one but now they only come with 2 USB-C ports and that's it! It's not practical...

If you go with Starlabs, make sure what you're ordering is IN STOCK.

I ordered the Lite V which I as estimated to deliver in October 2023. It's now April 2024 and they are just receiving it on their end. It seems like they've learned their lesson but not letting people pre-order their newer things now. Reviews of previous products seem promising with them.

My friend has the Slimbook Executive. That thing is sex with a keyboard.

When I was younger, like 15/16, I was working a job in a stone quarry during my spring break. Long days, hot sun but all cash and made decent money.

One of my neighbors whom I would briefly speak to all the time wanted to borrow some money. I think it was $400 or something. At that age, I wanted to help out and I wanted seem cool, so I lent it. He asked for a bit more and more and eventually it ended up to about $1100. My neighbor said their paycheck was coming 'next week' and could easily pay me back.

Next week never came. I followed up with the neighbor and they said something happened to their paycheck but the money was coming. He then said a showing of good faith, he'd give me his payslip as proof and that I needed to get it back to him so I he cash he check. Stupid me knew something to was up but because I was naiive and impressionable, I told him I trusted him and I'll await the money.

I managed to get his number and I called to follow up again, but he had some girl answer the phone and when I asked to speak to him, she said, "Oh he's getting cookies right now..."

A week later the phone was disconnected and then I didn't see him for a while. I then moved out of the neighborhood.

Eventually I saw him a few years later and mentioned about the money that he owed me but he 'wasn't sure what I was talking about'. I long since before then realized the money was gone. Expensive lesson but that's a story of how I got scammed.

It's still ongoing? I totally need to catch up, but I am so far behind, I was waiting for it to finish.

This is the way.
