What 2013 PC is not already trash by now?

(not a PC, but a Mac)

My 2013 Macbook Pro, Core i7 with 8GB of RAM and 512G SSD is pretty much interchangeable with my work-issued Macbook Pro 2020 Core i7. In some ways, the 2013 model is better. It has HDMI out, SD card slot, and real function keys.

This is one of the things that I've often wondered. Do those crops need to be watered that much?

I live in Utah -- and it's not just whether or not the crops need to be watered as much, it's whether they need to be grown at all. About 80% of our water goes to farming, and about half of that is to grow alfalfa. We then export that for a modest profit as hay -- often to fill empty container ships on their way back to China.

Meanwhile, the Great Salt Lake is shrinking, threatening to turn into a toxic dust bowl, and kill all skiing (no lake effect snow without a lake). The Utah legislature is dominated by conservatives, to they are not concerned about this at all.

That's what's happening all over, and is the leading cause of CPI/inflation. Then conservatives run around squealing about government spending being the cause. For all the free-market wisdom that they claim to love, they can't understand that supply chain broken = higher prices = inflation.

I'm glad that Sony, et. all (Nvidia, Nintendo, etc.) are trying to control the fallout from the pandemic.
