Chump

I’m not talking about OP’s article, I’m talking about yours.

I’m tempted to just laugh at mbfc being used as a gotcha, but I’m still bummed that it got this much cultural inertia behind it. It’s sort of like quoting an uncited Wikipedia article at someone to prove you’re right.

Does the article say that Maduro appointed the judges? Thus far I only see a claim that it's packed with Maduro loyalists... which is pretty far from an unbiased framing

If you’re truly interested in a deep and nuanced take on the topic, you’d read what actual historians (Carlin has often reiterated that he’s not one) have to say on the topic.

Carlin is a great host, don’t get me wrong. But just because he’s interesting to listen to doesn’t mean he’s always right, or that he should be taken more seriously than professionals.

Thank you, Vimium has recently been getting out of whack for me. Whenever I use it to scroll, the clickable areas don’t scroll at the same rate until I use my trackpad to scroll, which really defeats the purpose of keyboard navigation

Putting pressure on them how? From what I can tell, they're getting all the material support they always have

True, but the M1 MacBooks have really taken a beating in price. And the Airs were already quite a good deal to start with, so they do still seem competitive (8GB RAM notwithstanding). Been using a base model air since launch, and unless I hit swap super hard (I rarely do) it's still great :)

Think home as in a place you live, vs house as in a place where people can live. The landlord owns a bunch of houses, which are themselves other peoples' homes

Excel does always seem to be the thing people can’t substitute, which is weird because it doesn’t seem terribly more complicated than Word (?)

I think this is a difference of use case. I use mine for writing long-form prose, so the dry out times aren't an issue (though I do sometimes slip it into the cap if I'm considering where to go next). The skating is nice because I don't have to put too much pressure on the pen and get hand cramps. I also like refilling the pen once it gets low, but I have a piston filler so that happens less often than with cartridges.

All that said, if I had to use my fountain pen to take notes in school again, I would absolutely hate it. Quick, random note taking is basically a worst case scenario for a fountain pen, so I do see where you're coming from. Glad you're happy with the ballpoints :)

It’s good, Bront
