The Nvidia shield is the android tv with google play services. It would be your drop in replacement for the Panasonic interface you are currently using.

When you first start it can relieve stress and be relaxing, but that is a trap. Those effects will fade and what will be left is a habit. A habit that your brain will do some pretty large mental gymnastics to justify.

This one is so ingrained in me that I didn’t even know I did it for the first 20 years of my life and couldn’t stop it if I tried

So they stole $140K and the penalty was…$50k in restitution between them and banned from starting a charity for 4 years? Talk about justice.

I mean I definitely travel with more than one, but it’s nice knowing that I don’t have to worry about forgetting to pack a specific charger for that one specific thing and only realizing it when it’s too late.

Your monitor might not be supplying your laptop with power, but that doesn’t mean it can’t do it. If it can output to a display, then it is a thunderbolt port and can definitely charge it.

Yeah you might be the only one. Btw your laptop can also charge over USB-C instead of the barrel jack.

You could buy one high powered usb charger and attach a USBC to lighting adapter to the end of it and you’ll only have to carry one charger when traveling.

If it ain’t broke don’t switch it!

Waterfall grading curves are the dumbest of ideas, especially for an entry level course.

Huh, I didn’t know that the code base for r/place was open sourced.
