Great comic!
I have to recommend a podcast about the original America First movement during the WW2 era called “Ultra”. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Another lemming told me about it and I ate it up.
It involves an attempted coup, infiltration of Congress by the Nazis and the death of a sitting senator. Honestly you’ll enjoy it.
I am with you. I like this one a lot.
Oh one other idea is your local electronics recycling centre. Our one frequently has battered Chromebooks. One by the same brand might do you. The folks in our one are friendly and would definitely give it to you for free so you might get lucky there too. Maybe leave your phone number with them also.
On your question about the loose power - I’d say that’s a dry or loose solder joint. If you’re comfortable with a soldering iron it should be easily fixed. Occasionally a heavily used connector just loses grip and if that’s the case a gentle squeeze with a pliers will do you.
Good luck! If you can’t find one for sale it might be worth posting up in a local Facebook group or equivalent asking if anyone has one. Folks frequently don’t think of selling broken kit.
Must be. I’d call them an egg slice or fish slice like yourself. Spatula to me is silicone. Western Europe.
I would probably search local online markets for a broken one of your current Chromebook. The battery will likely do what you want and you’ll have it for other spares too.
Love this one!
Are black raspberries different from blackberries? They look like what I’d call blackberries is all.
Looks great! I’m planning on doing the same in a few weeks. Little early for them where I live. Super on pancakes. Nom nom nom.
Yeah in the face of it they were pragmatic. Given the circumstances, after the initial outmanoeuvre I’ve never seen anyone criticise what they did with a meaningful alternative and they ate shit to get the Brits back across the channel so they could fight another day.
Vive la France! 🇫🇷
“French are cowards” trope
Yeah I hate that one. France being great and the French being a bunch of legends aside, the French army is the most successful in all of history to the best of my knowledge. That one “recent” blip aside.
You have to hand it to the Germans though… The oul blitzkrieg was a game changer. No shade on the French. Maybe a little for not reinforcing the Ardennes route but sure look, hindsight is 20/20 and all that.
Perfect summary. Absolutely nailed it.
I didn’t downvote you but he’s too old for that tbh. He’s mildly autistic and just… Doesn’t give a fuck about being alone as long as he’s doing what he wants.
We’ve learned to just keep a very, very close eye.
Some of the comments on the YouTube video are gas. This is so obviously a piss take.
So much has been achieved because of it. Hell the moon landings were a massive fuck you.
YouTube link to the video. Auto translate works well on this one.
My kids always struggle to get presents for me because I have everything I want. I’m a simple man.
Have you asked him if there’s anything he’d like? He might have something in mind.
When asked I always say socks. I love the Nike dri-fit socks. Black. I now have a lot of them because I’ve been saying “Socks. No I really mean it” for ages.
It’s such a simple joy to grab any two socks from my drawer and know that they’ll match and be very comfy.
Edit: other than that I’d suggest something that he’ll use frequently and think of you. Another poster suggested tools which is a good one. A good coffee mug or nice glass is good too.
The first sentence is solid reasoning. If you just add a sprinkle of empathy to their learning process the second sentence won’t happen.
It’s easier said than done. Honestly.
They’re not wrong.
100 of their breaths, uninterrupted by any movement, change or disturbance of any kind. That was my hard learned rule.
Absolutely terrifying putting down a light sleeper. Terrifying. 😭
