My hypothesis: the clickbait factoid might be talking about the amount of nicotine that exists in a cigarette butt, which might be different from what a child would practically get in their bloodstream after eating said butt.

I think I've been in this boat without necessarily realising. Last film i saw at the cinema was the hobbit. I had no idea they'd decided to split the story from that short children's book up into multiple films, so I was very confused and disappointed by the end.

lol. you failed to fully grasp what the other comments were getting at, and still you went in strong with a confident and aggressive tone. I commend you 👏👏👏

I wouldn't want to assume, but do you identify as American by any chance?

The OP is about a different country, it's possible 'most people' in that place do live 'downtown'. But even if it's not most, still there's a whole lot of people in every country who live in bigger density situations, often there is no ground level outside space free for new installations.

You must have a far nicer garden hose than me.

Motorsport in general? Or Aston signing this particular guy?

Have you been wwoofing? I did a little, a long time ago. Good times (mostly).

I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure that is basically true in a way. As per zr0's top-level comment. Forms of life that can make do with less cellular respiration, for example by using external sources to regulate temperature (cold- blooded), don't need to invite as much oxygen into their cells, and so they get less weird damage over time. Mammals in general have not adopted this strategy.

It was big in the 80s.

 

What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I'm mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you'd be in violation of something at work.

My use case: I'm an engineering student, I need something with a lot of storage, hopefully SSD (right not I have MatLab, Anaconda and KiCAD taking up most of my 128 GB HD, and I had to uninstall the STM32 cube IDE from lack of storage), and reasonable processing performance so I can actually run these things at a reasonable rate. I need to stay within the windows/ms office world to simplify collaborating and file sharing etc. I'm not using it for gaming. Don't need a massive screen, or touchscreen or anything fancy. HDMI port would be reasonably important.

I want it to last me at least the next 4-5 years, and I'm hoping to not spend more than about £300.

I know a lot of people reccomend ThinkPads, what's a good model to get cheap at the moment? Or any other suggestions?

Is Windows 11 so bad that I should only be looking at ones that come with Windows 10 installed?

Thanks for any helpful advice!

Edit: Thanks to everyone for taking the time to advise me, I've ordered a refurbished T480 with 1TB ssd, plenty of ram, and a 1 year warranty for £340.

 

I've been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to Amazon.

Isn't there a better way?
