Re: Apple M3 chip computer vs the rest
If you want the keyboard with the numeric pad it adds 13 days to the delivery time. Crazy. Yeah, any changes to the "standard" configurations of any of the Mac line results in delays to delivery. Interestingly enough, up RAM from 8 to 16, no change in delivery. Up SSD from 512 to 1TB, no ...

Apple M3 chip computer vs the rest
My computer is ~4-5 years old. It has become slower (seeming at least) and the fan is randomly (always) very to (sometimes) VERY noisy. It's an ASUS brand with the following. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz, 12GB of unknown RAM, unknown (256GB I think) storage. I'm considering the ...

Re: More School Guardians?
I'm just a cranky old guy, emphasis on cranky. There should be a specific "super-license" for LTC. It should require higher proficiency demonstrations and additional classroom training. It should be available to any LTC holder that chooses to obtain it. With said license, holders should be...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?
Hmm, got a bill today. It was already a day overdue. Looked when it was mailed, January 1, so 24 days to deliver a first class letter. I kinda noticed I'm only getting mail every other day. Interesting development. Congressman now involved. https://www.kbtx.com/2024/01/22/texas-congressman-calls-tr...

Then turn the page and for each given entry mark which box it was in, A-E. Part B was compare information given and mark which item is different, A-...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?
We had the same "late arrival" issue. My local PO said there was some mechanical disaster in Missouri City causing Friendswood mail to just sit. We finally got delivery 9 days late.

Re: Spare magazine owb at posted business
