I agree. The amount of computing power you get for not much money is amazing. My ghetto phone I bought as a fill in til I received my good phone is one of my favorite recent purchases. It's no Samsung. Screen's low res, camera kind of sucks, only 1gb of ram, but it does everything it says it does, and it was only $40. I wouldn't be too upset using it as my daily driver.On the flip side, it does drive me more than a little nuts when people complain about laptop prices. "There isn't anything new for under $199?" Are you kidding me? A full, working laptop for two hundred bucks, and you're complaining? And of course, then they complain about how slow it is. I remember when all laptops were like $1,500! Prices today are bananas. You can buy an Intel Compute Stick with Windows 10 & an Atom X5 for $120 these days:

It ain't fast, but hey, it's a full computer for beans...
You might want to look at a different gfx program. Gimp is great, but it's like sitting in a jet cockpit, and trying to figure out how to start the engine; so you can go to the grocery store :^D Pinta might be a better choice, or even libreoffice draw.
You gotta quit pointing it at her, and give her a chance to escape :^P21st wedding anniversary. Who says shotgun weddings don't work out.
I'd already slaughtered the 2 pigs and the goat her mama gave me. Couldn't very well let her back out at that point.You gotta quit pointing it at her, and give her a chance to escape :^P
Found out what happened. They apparently raised my data allotment to 3gb from 2gb. Not sure how I feel about that. Getting an extra gb for the same money is great, but I'm a little disappointed magic isn't involved. I was kind of hoping I slipped through the cracks somehow, and after not using data for a week or two, I somehow magically got more high speed data. Yea, I know, it makes zero sense, but since I don't thoroughly understand cellular networks, that left some room for magic :^/Using my prepaid phone as a net connection, and ran my debian updates. I used up all my high speed data last week, but I was getting ~600kbs on my updates. Not sure what's going on with that, but I'll take it.
Christ, I've gotta migrate all my stuff to the problem thread. I didn't put my summer squash in the curry, and that was the main reason I made it. I have a squash getting old in the fridge, and the other stuff was purchased to better utilize the squash. I made everything *but* the squash :^SDinner turned out good tonight. I made a vegetable curry with a canned sauce. I added some ghost pepper sauce, but it got away from me, and I thought I might have put too much in, but it turned out perfect. Only regret is I wish I bought some naan to go with it.
is that some sort of zucchini?Christ, I've gotta migrate all my stuff to the problem thread. I didn't put my summer squash in the curry, and that was the main reason I made it.

Made fried chicken at home (mmm, panko). Unfortunately, ran out of every flavor of sauce known to mankind...no BBQ in the fridge. No honey mustard. Not even a jar of sweet & sour to be found. Miraculously, however, I found a couple small tubs of Chik-fil-a sauce in the back of the fridge.
Yissssssssssssssssss
