I like the big honkin’ avatars. And I like how the green dots turn into brain slugs on some avatars to identify those zombied by our alien overlords.

I might add this is not only true with some luxury cars. It is also true for other cars as well.

I have bought 3 Civics over the years. In general unless there’s something hinky with the Civic the price difference between a new Civic & a 2 yr Civic <20k mi is negligible.

My old faithful 4yrs+ Lenovo G780 17.3" left hinge is messed up. It’s going to fall apart soon I surmise. And I didn’t want W10 & since M$ beats the piss out of manufacturers I can’t install W7 on the newest 7th & 8th gen Intel CPU afaik.

So I was getting panicky. I did the best I could for my needs & budget.

I didn’t do too much research because there is less & less available stock per my requirements. I swore I’d wouldn’t buy a new HP. Well mister high & mighty just bought an HP. At least it’s HP ProBook Series which are miles better than the HP consumer line. Well for hardly any new 17" W7 laptops out there I think I did pretty good at $727 otd. F M$ btw if you couldn’t tell.

Hope this W7 laptop lasts as my desktop replacement until Big Brother is toppled, Pandora’s box is closed or until the Apocalypse does whatever.

@rasheed said in Best Prepaid Card?:

Chase Liquid?
https://www.chase.com/debit-reloadable-cards/liquid-prepaid-card

It is free to get for many existing account holders (even if you put it in some else’s name I believe). I think the ATM and now Zelle access is really nice. The linking is for the no fee part, does not require funds availability be linked.

Chase Liquid has a monthly Service Fee of $4.95. That’s not worth it.
