Can’t really go wrong with a Thinkpad. Well, not sure of the situation right now, since my most recent machine is a t450.

You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an asshole.

Isn’t this like the 5th DnD movie? I mean the ones before were shockingly bad, but they still exist.

Now this is serious! if there’s one thing in this country that really bothers me Is the inability of yanks to make a good cup of tea Instructions are printed on the teabag But either they can’t read Or they think it’s a gag

Pour boiling water over the tea How simple and clear can the instructions be?

They bring you a cup with a lemon slice And an unopened tea bag beside it (how nice) And a pot of water and it may be hot But boiling it isn’t so tea you have not

Why can’t we Get our tea We need tea To set us free

It’s boiling water that brings out tea’s flavor With a dash of milk you’ve a real brew to savor They drink luke brown water that looks like gnat pee And it’s got nothing to do with a good cup of tea

Pour boiling water over the tea How simple and clear Can the instructions be?

Pour boiling water over the tea Pour boiling water over the tea

Not exactly sure if I understand it right, but I do have some habits connected to price gouged goods. I always try to shop in a way that the price I pay for an item is as close as possible to the price to manufacture it (get good deals basically).

For new clothing I only shop at outlets where I can get good quality from name brands for a 50%-90% discount. Shopping “behind the season” helps a lot. I usually buy warm clothes in the spring and summer clothes in the fall/winter when they try to clear out surplus, or just buy last year’s models. A few weeks ago I bought 70 euro shirts for 10 euros because they were from last year.

For food I buy stuff in bulk when I can, but I also go for sell by date discounts. Close to me there is a shop that always orders a huge inventory of premium groceries that they can never move in time. So once or twice a week I walk in and check whats on sale and what is likely to be on sale soon. That’s how I end up eating the occasional lobster dinner or go on a premium chocolate binge for pennies. A few times I ran into some discounts where the item was sold at a loss.

So yeah, just look for good deals and try to reduce the profit margin of the company selling it as much as you possible. Then, take all the money you saved and support local businesses.

“4 stands for the 24th century” so… just a couple of centuries until another y2k style panic?
