True but they can’t escape the coming inflation wave. As fossil fuel supply thru the strait decreases, intl buyers would seek to buy from other sources, bidding up prices everywhere. That includes American producers who’d gladly export instead of feeding the domestic demand. This could change if the US gov’t decides to move away from free markets and imoses export and price controls.

If they’re unable to reopen the strait, perhaps they can force Trump to halt attacking Iran by stopping their own fossil fuel production. Something oil embargo.

Yes, that’s a part of why he’s getting it.

A peaceful, unsanctioned Iran isn’t on the cards as far as Israel is concerned.

Neither Israel, nor USA have less suffering and death in store for them. Not to mention that the bombing campaign will only strenghten support for the IR in the medium term.

I should have qualified - decent as in quality in comparison to the other fast food options. 😄

Erm, not that I’m a fan of Starbucks at all but they absolutely have decent real coffe that has zero sugar in it. Several blends in fact.

And another vote for it. It’s been great. The only thing I miss is it doesn’t have multi-speed support but most setups don’t have multi-speed motors anyway.

Yes and? Us here are talking over a federated social platform. None of us are the average consumer.

Oh yeah. You’re right.

Old off-lease ThinkPads from corporate fleets as always.

Fact.

But to be honest, the strength of the body of the Framework is pretty weak. Drops and more pressure result in permanent bending. I’ve already replaced one bottom. So if one wants a physically durable machine that can be thrown around, upgradeability might be okay to give up.

I thought they went away from it for their latest gens.

Ooh yes baby! As an early Framework adopter who’s repaired it already a few times, including a solder job on the board, I am happy to see it. I am getting increasingly angsty about where Framework would go in the future as its VCs crank up the profit knob. Having the biggest real manufacturer in the world introduce an alternative is fantastic. With that said, it also depends on Lenovo actually making parts direct-for-purchase available at decent prices. Without that, repairability serves just as marketing wank.

E: Is that a magnesium body plate?

They shoulda gotten them a long time ago. And Ukraine shouldn’t have given up theirs when the US pressured them to.

Yes baby! And look at that margin!
