It always is, sadly...when you do social services work.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Hmm this is interesting. I never considered that but that makes a lot of sense. The iPhone X sounds like the perfect example of this but I haven't considered that for the Apple Watch or other Apple products.
It reminds me of the whole bending issue that the iPhone 6 series had. I know that's just a thing but still.

Any thoughts on President Fullof****icus' unhinged attack on Amazon? I'm Jeff Bezos and I put that 2nd Amazon HQ in Miami or San Antonio just to see Combover Caligula pop a blood vessel.

It's irritating. Rumplethinskin gets his tax relief bill for his rich buddies and now he's going to screw us hard-working folks over by taxing interstate e-commerce. Anybody who's smarter or more successful than this POS immediately goes to top of his s**t list.

He needs to lay off these play mates, models and adult actresses, including his current wife.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
...it sounds like an expensive way to tackle the issue of you managing your habits of distraction (on first glance).
I had to have a dedicated machine to do what I needed to do. A laptop was too heavy since I was constantly on the go and didn't like to wrote papers on my work computer. I got the first gen Asus Windows Transformer, which I still use today. 85% of my MSW work was done on that machine. I use my tablet to bull**** on and to read my e-copy textbooks on while typing my papers on the Asus.
Point: grad school isn't cheap so one must always be careful and think through about adding things to ensure what you choose, you will use to its maximum potential.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
It's fine, thanks for looking back. Yeah that's true. It doesn't have to be those things but I see the separation helping me out a lot. Unfortunately, I don't have the space or option to have a separate setup where I just work and another where I just play.
Ah, that makes sense, and I can picture that being a workable solution for you. Thanks for the wisdom.
You're so right about that. For me, it doesn't have to be one of those necessarily. The subtrack I'm doing is data management so I see more programs in my future. Currently I'm using R, which runs like a champ on the laptop I have but some of my classmates with entry level specs (which include some Macbooks too) have experienced it acting up which hasn't happened for me ever. I don't want to have a machine that struggles to handle any programs I need to use. (Even so, dropping a grand isn't really something I can do, so again deals are where it's at for me.)
You are right on the point as you know, but something else that has me considering this hard is that I have struggled with online classes because it's hard to focus. Unfortunately, I have to take some in the summer so you can probably picture how (academically) dangerous this can be if I don't come up with a solution.
Edit: What you do just gave me an idea. Maybe I could get another device for fun stuff, which will be a lot cheaper anyway and just clear out all of the stuff that is fun from my current laptop. Thanks!

For your sake, let's hope it's not another Verizon 24.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
If I were to speculate, just for s***s and giggles, it will be Treo-like device similar to the KEYone with stylus support. It will presumably be Android but the guys at PivotCE have been quietly buzzing with their LuneOS project. That could well be a pipe dream but coupled with LG's recent open sourcing of webOS, it could provide them with the missing bits they need. They're already playing around with 64-bit support and other interesting things. I'm definitely intrigued.

Verizon is still involved. Call me skeptical at this point.

I hear you. Considering Verizon was heavily involved with webOS's demise, I find it mind bendingly ironic.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
So I'm in my office when all of a sudden I hear some low flying jets screaming by at tree top level. My first thought was of being buzzed by some F/A-18 Hornets on 9/11 because Bush 43 was in Florida and Air Force 1 was at Palm Beach International which is about 5 miles from where I was at the time.
Nah. Forgot today was Opening Day at Marlins Park.
