not that open - I tried to run rm -rf in the terminal and it did nothing.

bunches of refurbished t-series thinkpads out there - t480, t430, etc. apparently the 490 is one to avoid. I got a t470 some months back for $150 - put mint on it and have been very happy with the performance.

2nd one is my can opener - got it in 1998, it’s built like a tank. actually used to it hammer tent pegs into rocky soil when camping once.

eggnog. it’s not a menu item, but a local creamery releases a seasonal eggnog this time of the year.
