I mean, it's pretty commonly said, especially in a colloquial setting. More people than not probably use it.

But there is a convention that the "and" should be adhered to when a decimal is present; that said, – like many grammar rules – this isn't far from universally followed.

Mmm; that's fair. The husband had an XPS 13 (not sure if that old, though; it was the one where you could get the cover in Rose Gold) but they only use Windows so I can't say. I've mostly installed Linux (for myself) on Latitudes.

Oh, for sure; it is definitely impressive. I dunno if you already know (so, basically, I apologize if so!) but part of how Apple's able to pull that off is they manufacturer their own hardware and only install to it; so OS X's optimized to the hardware in a way Windows and Linux can't be (since they're designed to run on any hardware). I'm sure that's not all of it but it's part of it.

Maybe the brand? I generally use HP and Dell (and Debian/Ubuntu) and, while always bracing for something not to work, have generally not run into any issues.

The Sword in the Stone by T. H. White has always been a favorite of mine.

As I understand it, they've made a lot of their own improvements that improve the user experience.

I haven't figured out how to channel it into convincing others, yet (though I haven't done a lot of activism for, like, going on a decade now), but I have been having the thought, for the last 4 years, that focusing on tangible goals could really help us.

Just seeing the Republicans turn half a century of steadfast obsession into actually overturning Roe has me thinking we need material results fast.

Because, if the one constant for our side since the 60s has been anything, it's been a slow erosion at our ability to even effect change.

I feel like even the need for lockstep consensus to work together wouldn't be so direly needed if we had rank-choice voting and a dismantling of the two party system.

To use your union example, more unions mean a slow of concentration of wealth which means less influence for the wealthy upon our society including more stability so there's less desperation to vote for a Hail Mary solution like thinking Trump ever gave a single care about the price of eggs.

Just…really concentrating on tangible goals and carving out progress on them.

Of course, we'd need your aforementioned agreement, for that…

Void, I hope so.

Just noticed that the thread is from last year…

But, considering how much we're still not heeding this fact a year later, perhaps just as well to keep the post up.
