An ARM laptop that can run mainline Linux out of the box and performs at an M1 level or better would be phenomenal. Sign me up.

It can be extremely luxurious if you pay.

I'd rather get to my destination with my wallet still in tact, but you do you.

Can you not turn it into charcoal and bury it? I think that has a very long lifetime.

I wonder how carbon-negatove a bamboo forest would be if you harvest it, turn it into charcoal (or bury in a bog or something?), rinse and repeat. Afaik charcoal sinks carbon fairly effectively (???), unless you burn it obviously.

I got stretch marks on my flank during those growth spurt years.

And I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, that shouldn't matter. Because we should have universal vote by mail.

My state does this, and as far as I can tell there are zero downsides (eXcEpt iT wAsTes taXpayERs' MoNeY). Like the social aspect of voting on election day? Drop your ballot off in person, or just change your mind and vote in person.

Pressure cooker


dry beans are way cheaper than canned, and prep time for dried beans is substantially faster with a pressure cooker compared to conventional stovetop. (I love my Instant Pot!)

Speaking completely out of my ass, I think mail-in ballots would do wonders for down ballot engagement. My state has this, and it's invaluable


often there are weird down ballot measures which are confusingly worded, and sometimes local elections have a "vote for 10 candidates out of the 34 who are running." Voting at home means I can tackle it at my leisure


no memorization or cheat sheets required.

I want a button that skips back 10s, turns on subtitles, and then turns off subtitles when we're back to where we started.

Median would be the more generally correct number to use, but apparently IQ (debatable as a proxy for intelligence...) is roughly normally distributed, so either is likely close enough.
