@AION sweet let us know how the p series goes. Lenovo have done me solid for a few goes now. I didn't know they used to be IBM until recently. The X1 I can vouch for. I only recommend shit I have used myself. I've had turd results from Dell (srsly fuck that proprietary power supply plug) , HP and Acer on the laptop front. Never tried Asus etc. Do you use an iPhone? That might be another deciding factor for MacBook due to the ecosystem cohesion. But again if you are anything like me fuck apple and fuck iOS lol. Even though I can admit they make good products.

My advice is - don't cook your lungs. Anything inhaled regularly - vaping / smoking / chroming. Do not! Once your lungs are done you are fucked.

There is a bit more to it.

@Shermaningeorgia Mental gymnastics to justify hate. Low consciousness

You might want to research what processes are involved with treated pine, as modern building materials are usually bathed in chemicals. Not sure how wood off-gasses at all tbh. I only have experience building with steel/plaster for commercial application - never done resi. Most modern pine is treated to resist rot, decay and termites. The extent of my work with wood is on joinery and that is typically ply - if that. Most builds are MDF for joinery. But your budget isn't going to allow for much... you don't know what you don't know. Mistakes are very costly. An experienced carpenter or builder would be an asset. Labour is always the really costly part - so anything you need to subcontract will destroy budget.

Also what type of air monitor you got? I have a Qingping which is very good. VOC's are the hardest thing to minimise imo....

Damn bro - this is a lot. You need to caulk joints - will you use caulk? Wood to wood like Japanese style joints? Takes a seriously skilled carpenter - and even then it won't stop air. What sort of mechanical system? We talking like, physical containment level air filtering / sealing? Negative pressure? I've only done labs to PC2. Not sealing the wood joints is going to be your biggest contaminant leak. This is just off the top of my head... $70k??? Flat no

It has nothing to do with justice.

I think it's a bit more nuanced. A car doesn't replace you - it makes human life easier. The technology assist us. AI can assist us, but it has the danger it can replace large parts of humanity. For the first time technology isn't just assisting and enhancing human life - it can actively replace large parts of our existence.

I like to schedule regular breaks for advertisement 🫪

It's not denying reality. It is simply recognising there isn't merit to looking good. It's not a mark of achievement. Not a mark of excellence. Not something to be admired. It just is. Being attractive is simply a temporary state that will leave with time. Attractive people got a good diceroll from God. That's it. I think you might personally value good looks a lot. This is also causing you to resent those who are good looking. But these people could also be born ugly. It's just random. Life isn't fair. It's not a vending machine where you put good in and good comes out. Just make the best of what you have and forget how others look. It doesn't effect you. And if it does? You are allowing it to affect you and creating the reaction within yourself. Take it easy there Tiger, don't poke too many holes in the OPs argument hahaha 😂

@Florian but his philosophy IS poor. He did slowly introduce his side hustle grift selling blueprint products. My point it he is one of the elite. His surface motives look genuine - but none of these elite technocrats are FOR YOU. They would leave you in the dirt to die if they could live forever. It does one no good to buy into hype. It's how these guys sell themselves and capitalise on your click. Your attention and your money. There are more issues with Bryan I haven't even gone into here, that make any normal person question themselves, following and idolizing someone like him. I apologise if I offended you, my views and opinions still stand. If you read all my replies I am pretty fair and give Bryan a lot of credit. Realise this is a discussion. I am not DOING anything to you. It's whatever you are allowing that is the issue. One should always investigate the legitamacy of their feeling reactions. Because often they lead you astray. I don't care what you think of me as a moderator. I am here to arbiter forum rules. I have opinions of my own that don't mean disagreeing presents any sort of issue - or that my opinions or views carry any more weight than the next person. This speaks to your own issues with authority. So be chill 😎 Peace 🕊️

Thanks for the share - I came across this one by accident then saw your post 😁

@Tenebroso nope. That is your projection. People, men and woman. Are equally capable of being full of shit. Mean. Status seeking. Materialistic. I just see where you have a cognitive bias - and that bias is also projecting onto me. You see arrogance and self righteous where there is just firm understanding and hard words. It's just coming from a female so it hits different. We are debating about your views regarding women, and how they are solely negative. I know there are bad women out there. But if we are to counter this claim you have, it won't do to bring up examples of bad woman that will further cement this. What exactly do you want to hear? That people are selfish and full of shit? The problem is... That quality has nothing to do with sex. Man or woman. It's the same across the board. Read all of my posts again, and you will realise I never said women are faultless, saints, angels, goddesses. Really really read my posts. It was never even inplied. You will realise you filled in the gaps with information to perpetuate a narrative. It didn't come from me. It's a narrative spun by algorithms to keep you in a state of lack and powerlessness. And I fucking hate that this manosphere content does this to people.
