I think an application of some orange face spray would do well to complete the look:

I still think he cares, in fact, I think he cares about this a lot.

Trump in his second term is a puppet for his administration, he’s there to attract spotlights with his seething unhinged rants on hicktown social, his natural stupidity, his weird orange make up, etc. In general, the chaos this clown provides is perfect for masking what his administration is steering the US to.

I do think that ultimately his fragile narcissist ego can be a weakness since I can’t see him going along with this for too long.

He’s a narcissist and he absolutely does get triggered by the idea that people don’t respect him. You can easily tell by how vengeful he is about the most minuscule shit.

FYI, their RAM and SSD prices are often almost double what you can find elsewhere – at least that’s the case in the US. Getting a DIY edition and buying these components separately will likely make the price a tiny bit easier to swallow. Still, spec wise alone it will never be a great value.

I had this perspective too when I made the decision to buy one in 2022. But recently what I learned is that their modern gen mainboards often cost between 2/3rds - 3/4ths of a full laptop with the exact same CPU from competitors.

With the amount I have spent on the initial purchase, and now an upgraded board, I would have easily been able to buy two laptops from some other company. I likely would have also ended up having a better display, a better battery than what was available in 2022, newer wifi, and so forth. So no, “upgradability” is not an actual benefit of Framework laptops in my experience.

That aside, I ultimately don’t regret my purchase because I did spill a beer on it last year and I was able to fix it for about $50 worth of parts. Framework’s value comes almost entirely from being able to repair it and eco-friendliness/sustainability.

Let’s make it happen. When you hear too much from the drunken bro:

Ok, pardon and keep Mr. Whiskeyleaks on your team. We’ll just circle back to a new fuck up that’s guaranteed to come as long as everyone in that chat group continues to hold their position.
