I have not. I found a replacement for $40 and I can do it myself so we'll see how it goes.

No, it's an HP I bought refurbished. It's been good otherwise.

[5 years of at least one article about Elon every week... and then...]
Magazine feature: "We thought we'd catch up with Elon and see what he's been up to since he was out of the public eye for so long"

It's the reductio ad absurdum of the (regrettably common) belief that the biggest asshole in the room is the most effective leader.

My theory is that every cable channel eventually betrays its name. Music TV? No music. The Learning Channel? No learning. The History Channel? and on and on.

My PCP (who I think is very good & have been seeing since 1997) made an abortive move into "concierge medicine" ~15 years ago.
He was trying to avoid selling the practice out to the local hospital conglomerate, but enough of his patients said "oh, hell no" that he ended up with the conglomerate.

It's good! Though I admit I haven't done side-by-side with the real thing.

I thought I had seen everything on the Internet, but I don't believe I've ever encountered whipped women's hair.

How about a ridge that's "smart" enough to keep the evaporator fan from icing over & locking up every few weeks? (Yes, it's a Samsung.)

It was B. I'm sorry, I can't motivate myself to care about tomorrow's concert. At best I'm a third wheel and as soon as I'm done my clarinets are going into the shop to be overhauled and I'm going on vacation after getting tests to find out wtf is wrong with my arm.

I'm generally not a fan of Christmas decorations in the summer, but I'm willing to make an exception.

The only way they could "learn" would be to admit they maybe once did one or two things wrong, and that ain't happening in this lifetime.

I subscribed! I kept all the issues for a couple years on a shelf in my office, then I ditched them when I changed jobs & they didn't seem worth moving.

And also nobody's going to give you the benefit of the doubt if you've been pundit-ing for 20+ years on multiple platforms and everybody knows your shtick. So you don't just get "that's a stupid take" you get "oh brother MM is at it again."
