  • Exactly and I’m not even saying that it’s not ok to be interested, just that, like if you don’t know who or what AIPAC is coming into a political discussion forum, this ain’t the place to start.

    Like you couldn’t have gotten through 2023-2025 being even adjacent to politics and not have developed some understanding of the role in US politics.

    And, honestly, it’s hard to evaluate how important AIPAc really is to US politics. We readily acknowledge things like the Heritage foundation or project for a new American century, but we rarely discuss what interests are have idealogically captured the Democratic party.

    I’m trying to find the exact quote, because I heard it referenced on a podcast and I’m not sure Schumer actually said this, but the circumstantial evidence is strong, that Schumer specifically did not endorse Mamdani because he sees his primary role as serving Israel. I want to dig into this more later because that’s an astonishing admission if true.


  • the other thing I think you’ve got going for you is that in general, computer just… look better. we’re well past the grey box on a bookshelf days.

    But at the same time, even handsome computer builds are pretty unique. It would seem like with all the available variations, you are kind of stuck building a deck in relationship to a single machine. Is there any way around this, considering, at least in my experience, I replace my machines far more often then my a desk.




  • I’m really interested in where you are going with this and would enjoy following your process.

    One challenge I think you are up against has been the fairly constant evolution in size and form of computing device and peripheral. I’m interested in how you would approach this, because I’m my view, good anything is timeless, furniture included. But the computer desks of 20 years ago make little to no sense now because the shape and support requirements of Our moniters and what not have changed so much.
