What is a good laptop? I do some gaming and whatnot, but mostly I just don’t want it to take forever to boot up like my 10-year older is starting to do. Really cutting into the time I have for shitposting.
You’re lucky yours is still running that long. Mine average about 4 years before dying (putting this one right on schedule). My current is a Lenovo (fine), previous was a Toshiba (also fine), Gateway and IBM. Of course…historically I’ve included a DVD writer and full size keyboard in mine (and 15″ screens) which cuts down on options.
After research last fall before I bought a tablet, it looks like external burners are extremely affordable and more than worth losing the internal access in exchange for weight/cost reductions.

Current one is an HP, I keep getting it to limp along. Replaced the battery, but now it has stopped charging again and it basically works as a laptop (I can unplug for about 10 seconds). Boot times have started to get too long and most new games take a long time to load, so I think I just need to move on. My cheapness is costing me my life time, which I can’t replace.
I haven’t tried gaming seriously on any of my laptops since my IBM Thinkpad from ’04-08 playing WoW. They differentiate for gaming purposes a lot more these days IMO – although these ones work fine for old games via Gog.com. I do everything else on my phone or xbox so it’s not really a consideration for me.

this is the Glib struggle: we’re yearning to be free, everyone else is struggling for restrictions to achieve hoped for graft, authority, peace, and safety, and there is almost situation where freedom grows………….how to keep from going insane from the constant stress of the oppression and the likely prospect for further oppression?
What is encouraging is that one the one hand that deplorable/conservative legislatures have become comfortable with constitutional carry, but I continue to warn that this derives from a perversion of 2A, which is meant to protect the States from the Union, not give individuals the right to bear military arms. I bring this dour opinion because I believe you do have a 9A right to own, bear, and carry military arms…..and do anything else.
What I’m saying is that the growth in freedom based on the 2A blinds your legislators and your neighbors from understanding that they have zero right to impose upon you and restrict you in any of your 9A pursuits. 9A very clearly says: you can do anything you want with your own person and property….drive 600MPH, snort drain cleaner, marry a garden hose.
We will not have more freedom in any regard other than guns until 9A is resurrected.

The truckers are a part of the distribution equation. Infrastructure, warehousing and last mile distribution. We have seen that liquor stores are essential and are among the first to get looted.
