You can't "both sides" ninety-fucking-one felonies.

Milwaukee has an incredible catalog of cordless stuff. As a Makita, I sometimes get jealous.

I prefer Bosch for corded, but since it's not an ecosystem, Im not brand loyal there.

Why'd you have to jinx us? Now we're gonna have a half cyborg hyper trump running for office all year every year for the next century.

For what it's worth, I've bought two laptops from them in the last four years and had tons of problems initially (there were both essentially pre orders, first run laptops). A few minutes on the phone, some trouble shooting,and I had replacements for both overnighted for free. Zero issues with the replacements in both cases.

So yes, don't order the brand newest Lenovo. Get the one a generation old at deeep discount.

It's great! The only things I've noticed is that I don't think the spoiler tags work correctly, and I can't post gifs from the built in gif search (I get errors saying "could not upload image".

They're still good! It's just frustrating that they're not finished!

If you want a series that will definitely finish though, read Brandon Sanderson. The man is a machine.

Neat, I didn't even know what was a thing! I'm glad he figured out where to take the story, and it sounds like he's leaning into making what Kvothe says as being more truth than fiction, but the next part is still hard: how do you make the end more interesting than "And then the main character kicked everyones ass, the end"? Especially since we know he lives and is, presumed fine? That's the part that is likely taking forever, and this novella sounds like it's a chunk of story he couldn't fit in the book.

For the record I like Rothfuss and all his writing. I've met him! We talked about life stuff and he's a cool guy! I think people expect more than The Dresden Files from him and that pressure sucks. I maintain that he likely wrote the final book, realized he hated it, and has spent this time trying to salvage it while maintaining that the next book will be the end of the story.

I'm not saying they would, I'm saying it sounds like a great cover story for a crazy person wanting to launch a dirty bomb.

Well, call it a fan theory. It's not like I have proof.

I was reading them early enough that I remember waiting for Winters Heart to come out, so I had time to lament his decisions in between each book after that 🤣

Or an intentional one.
