Shaving your head because you're balding by your mid twenties gang rise up
Literally did that a few days ago. Sitting with my family wearing a beanie rn with my partner nudging me to just show my family already.
:agony-immense:
Still usually looks good shaved tho king
I’m 30 and my 24 year old coworker just guessed I was 26. Said it was cuz I have a full head of thick ass hair and then proceeded to rub his near future bald spot.
i have a 2015 thinkpad, the actual key switch feel is pretty good but i do miss that classic keyboard. i don't miss those 720p or 900p TN LCD panels though
woah hbomb has a beard now? and he shaved his head?????
In his soy videos he talks about having exceptionally high T which is making him go bald. Maybe he's decided to just own it.
Yeah, pretty sure the same thing happened to me. Grew a beard, shaved my head.
I look way better now though, and I never have to worry about the shitty mop of hair I never did anything with anyway.
I would genuinely love to test my T levels lol. I have to know now.
I was basically shaving everyday before as well and just got really bored of doing it.
It's way easier just to keep the beard neat and tidy with a trimmer. Not 100% convinced about beard oils though. They seem like a scam but idk
There is at least one historical figure I can think of who rocked a goatee, can't place my finger on who :thinkin-lenin:
It's called a get out of balding free card and it's the most brilliant solution to balding.
I don't understand this post. What is a thinkpad and why should I care?
The People's Laptop. Just lower-price durable laptops. The brand has been owned by a number of companies, the current owner is a Chinese company I believe.
Just lower-price durable laptops.
Also notorious for excellent Linux compatibility, even back in the 00s when that was relatively rare in laptops.
were there more ownership changes than just the one from IBM to Lenovo in 2007-8ish?
I just looked at the Wikipedia page a little while ago. I guess it is Lenovo that is the Chinese company. I had misremembered reading it changed hands more times.
Nice. I guess next time I have to buy one I'll buy that instead of fucking HP, for some reason no HP products function for more than a year.
It's so nice to have user servicable RAM, keyboards, hard drives, wifi cards, and batteries, all in a pretty durable package. Of course, they also have the best keyboard in the business, and they have the MOUSE NIPPLE.
My T60 is still rocking all these years later on lubuntu. It's been dropped off tables, had milk spilt on it, and just generally been through a lot of shit.
I mean... next to a dell from the same era they have a great chance of being a million times prettier. Dell only cleaned up their designs like 2 years ago
No he didn't, he just hurled into a wall. It probably still works, knowing those things.
HBomberdude on his slow transformation to become Steve Oram!
Yeah when he throws the thinkpad all I can think about is the poor folks trying to limp one of those along for another 3 years despite it being the slowest thing on the planet.
why won't people give up their thinkpads? they're not that good even back during "the good days"
Most Linux distros and FreeBSD worked out of the box on them back when you might otherwise spend weeks getting everything working. These days it's more unusual to find a laptop that that will take a lot of effort than won't, but Thinkpads got a lot of affection for being the laptop that wasn't more trouble than it was worth for a decade or so.
yeah, back then it was a real dicey prospect trying to run linux or bsd on anything that wasn't a big first party manufacturer
I fucking hate it when youtubers destroy expensive electronics for a bit. Like, just fake it somehow and donate the thing. Having a good personal computer can be life changing to someone who's struggling.
expensive electronics
You can get an older Thinkpad for $/€ 50 or less, I doubt he hurled an expensive one.
idk my ex was a thinkpad lover and it was no easier to work on than my macbook. (granted that was almost a decade ago)
2006-2014ish macbooks are the best laptops ever made.
we're probably going to have to take this fight outside
It's a Serious Computer for Doing Serious Work (nevermind the one I had at my last job was a much bigger pain in the ass than a macbook to actually use as a dev machine)
