I also feel like half the reason he won all the damn time is because he literally just had the best broom in existence for most of the matches from his rich godfather. He's also annoying af with all his angst in the later books (especially OotP) with "nooooo my friends don't understand meeeeee I can't talk to anyoneeeee lemme just be an impulsive idiot".

Wait is it just me or is there no 8? And what's 9? Is that a joystick? And is 10 the clock? Is it actually connected to the computer?

You need to lock in

I feel like I should know this meme, but don't. I have 3 main questions:

  1. Why does the multiplication of the 2 signals result in an extra fluctuation in the product?
  2. Why would the low pass filter produce a flat line? Is it because it's letting such low frequencies pass that none of the frequencies in the product signal are not included?
  3. What does this have to do with locking in?

Ugh yeah the way Sirius treated Kreacher annoyed me so much. Apparently it was completely fine for Harry to have him as a slave as long as he gave him some locket and made poor brainwashed Kreacher feel like he was the best treated slave ever.

JK Rowling's lack of critical thinking is glaringly obvious in everything she has ever written.

Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599

Reply in thread

Sorry but near $1000 and near $600 are not even remotely comparable.

I got an HP EliteBook 840 G3 in 2017 for $565 with 24 GB of RAM and 512 GB storage. That was NEVER possible with any Apple laptop. Until now.

Or actually, it still isn't now! The RAM and storage on this are absolutely abysmal for a 2026 laptop. PCs have already vastly eclipsed this bullshit.

As an Apple devotee that pays your annual tithe to your exclusive, elitist blue bubble cult, you're welcome to crow about their smooth interface and nicer terminal and better privacy, but you will never, ever, ever beat PCs on price. Ever.

Apple is a monopoly. Monopolistic exploitation that maximizes profit by keeping prices high and sales low is literally introductory level macroeconomics. They have never made their products good value for money, and they never will.
