Yeah but there’s clunky in the way where its big but still a single unit as designed and intended, and clunky when its got some extra growth hanging off the back of it like some technological parasite.
Of course, my advice is only that, and you should choose the approach that works best for you. But advice is why you came here right :)
I have a portable monitor that I’m pretty pleased with.
It has a magnetic cover that goes over the screen to keep it safe, and that same cover folds and goes on the back to act as a stand when it’s in use. Power and video are via the same USB-C cable.
Nice and slim and stays in my bag most of the time but when I want a second screen I can whip it out in two secs.
A screen that attaches to the laptop sounds convenient initially, but I feel like in practice it would be a hindrance and make your laptop clunky and bulky.
It’s a “choccy (chocolate) coffee”

Why is “helicopter” commonly shortened to “helo” rather than “heli” ?
This may be a nonsense suggestion but is the game trying to activate the headphone mic?
If so this could be switching it to a different mode and cutting your headset audio quality in half.
EDIT: two other people suggested the same thing at the same time, never mind :)
I also got “Pattern on the beach towel is wavy lines rather than straight lines” but now I’m not certain it isn’t just image compression artifacts.
This is great, honestly.
If you go back to antiquity, education was about philosophy. It was about learning how to observe, and think critically, and see the world for what it is.
And then in modern times, education became about memorisation - learning facts and figures and how to do this and that. And that way of teaching and learning just doesn’t fit any longer with what our digital age has become.
In my opinion, we are heavily overdue for a revamp of what education should be, and what skills are most important to society in this post-truth world. Critical thinking is an important foundation to real knowledge that we don’t teach enough.
My grandmother was into collecting thimbles, when she was still alive.
As a child, whenever I went away somewhere on a trip with my parents and we saw a souvenir thimble, I’d always want to get it for her.
Looking back as an adult, I’m quite sure now that she didn’t really care that much about the thimbles at all, especially towards the end. What she really cared about was the connection it created, and the relationship with her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
It’s nice to know what someone likes, and to think of them when you see it. And every time I saw thimbles I thought of her.
In a modern context I have a friend who likes frogs, and every time I see a random frog plush or weird frog toothbrush holder or whatever it is I always think of him and want to get it for him.
Fads change but I think the reason for having them stays the same. It’s nice to be into something, and for other people to know you’re into it, too :)
Slow motion bullet takes about 30 seconds to reach the target during which time we get the inner monologue of every character
“It’s going to miss! But wait, what’s happening? The bullet is bending in midair!!! Look at his incredible pose! Did he put spin on the bullet!? This must be Free To Play Ojiisan’s legendary hidden technique!”
Totally. This would be great.
If you want to see an amazing and unlikely sports show that actually exists, try Ping-pong the Animation. Art style takes a bit of getting used to but it’s just such an engaging watch.
Then I think I was wrong, and you are right.
As someone not from the US I knew of zelle but never used it, and believed it was a direct competitor to Venmo or PayPal.
The reason I thought it was its own thing was because it has its own app, and a catchy silicon-valley-startup type name, and a brand logo, and all of that.
Contrast that to the UK where the ability to send free person-to-person payments has been integrated directly into the banking system for decades, and does not have it’s own brand, or app or anything.
That’s just a different third party, though.
Thanks for the context. Here in the UK I never experienced a website that didn’t take payment via credit card directly as a first option - that’s always been there default, with some sites offering PayPal as a second or third way to pay.
And about punching the numbers manually then well, sometimes a bit of Mechanical Turk works just fine lol! :)
I don’t understand the PayPal one either.
Who is the ‘first party’ in this case? The banking system as a whole?
If it’s the whole banking system then I’m not sure how that’s solved, because as I understand in the US it’s still not easy to send money to another private individual via the banking system. And there are Venmo and cashapp and such now but they are just other third parties.
Meanwhile in the UK here it has been possible for decades to send money between bank accounts directly, and free. I still use PayPal though, because my use for it isn’t sending money to individuals, it’s being able to buy things online without creating an account and without giving my card details.
Maybe people are thinking in phone terms, and the first party is “Apple” or “Google” and the solution is Apple Pay or Google Wallet?
