I already own some decent external storage so I think I'll pull up at 512 Gb. The extra speed of the internal drive is probably a worthwhile investment for me. The pro or better would be a waste of money. My choice was either that or build a custom i7 13th gen with DDR5 RAM for a similar price. I have a custom built i9 9900K back home which I built for traveling. It weighs exactly 5 Kg and goes in a samsonite bag to just make the carry on limits. Here I would buy an NZXT 510 case which isn't exactly portable but these days I'm more digital and less nomad so not a huge issue. That said, I should just pull my head in and buy the mac. I normally run ubuntu. Thoughts? My current daily driver is an ASUS PN51 with 32 Gb RAM and a 1Tb single card drive running ubuntu but I'm having issues with the Slack app which I need for work.

Just like they had to explain the millions of dollars spent investigating the Whitewater "scam" for 7 years?

Damn, you just cost me 7,000 baht. Thanks, I think. ????

My main cpu usage would be compiling flutter development which isn't particularly heavy. I don't do anything with music or video. The m2 is much better than the m1 I'm told. I can't justify the extra for the pro model, just some extra RAM.

Yeah, I Iike Thai food very much but I'm eating far more salad and whole foods out of supermarkets in Pattaya lately, just to avoid the salt and horrible cooking oils they use. I think Tops in Central festival has the best quality fruit and veges and widest range of imported foods.

I've pretty much decided to buy a mac mini m2 soon to replace my ASUS mini ubuntu machine which has a couple of issues with some software, particularly the Slack app. I won't get the pro, just the standard with optional 16 Gb RAM. I don't need the enhanced GPU for a lot more cash. The stock drive is only 256 Gb but I prefer to use external storage anyway. I was tempted to build a custom machine with Intel i7 13th gen and DDR5 RAM and run ubuntu on that but it would be considerably more expensive, albeit more fun. Does anybody have positive or negative experiences with the mac mini?

Regardless of your health, salt above recommended daily levels will adversely affect blood pressure which can affect kidneys. https://www.actiononsalt.org.uk/salthealth/salt-and-the-kidneys/

Their past modus operandi is to take parts of sentences without context and present them in a misleading way. Why would we expect this time to be any different with the video?

The MAGA wing of the GOP is only interested in ginning up outrage, totally uninterested in governing and want to help out Putin as much as possible. Disgusting really.

I could hardly get out more than I do considering. Maybe happy people frequent the same places I do. I saw a lot of happy people.

Yes it is.

And if you believe none of the fact checkers? That seems to be a common refrain around here. I'm amazed how many folks there are around here who are quite willing to dismiss credible sources for suspect sources with no scientific or expert basis. Not pointing the finger at you specifically but in general.

I spent years researching it at school. The subjects were called science and physics.

There's a mountain of evidence better than the Cochrane evidence which admits it isn't certain.

The important thing is to exclude what can't be demonstrated as the truth. That's what the rules attempt to do by requiring links to evidence.

I live here and I rarely encounter them and certainly not in greater numbers than I did back at home.

Putin said that he had no intention of invading Ukraine but Biden called that bunkum and his intelligence was right on the money. It has as much do with us as Germany attacking Czechoslovakia at the beginning of WW2. World peace is a global responsibility.

Given that we now know that sexuality and gender (in all it;s forms) is genetic the proportions of the total population then and now are very likely to be similar.

Actually everyone on this forum except a very few have researched the subject and found that the earth is a ball.

The people most affected by climate change would give their eye teeth to own a bicycle.

Doesn't it depend on what words you say? The rules are clear and I'm sure you have read and understand them. I don't know why there's debate about this. You do know exactly what a claim of fact is I'm sure.

But comment all you like but it's against the rules to claim a fact without supporting your claim with a credible link.

YOUR sources or not, neither of those sources are acceptable on this board unless they meet specified criteria..

The cochrane review claimed low certainty in stark contrast to the many, many studies which claim a high degree of certainly, including the OP. Those links have been posted in other threads previously.

Unsupported BS What part about the rules don't you understand?
