    Got the safety switch. I ordered the wrong momentary because I listened to other posts and not my brain. Ah well. Thank you sir.

    A thing or two...
    More memory is always better. The system won't bog down when you have a lot of things open. Also, if your video card and cpu shares memory then having more is beneficial. SSD have faster access and read/write speeds, but a conventional HDD will be cheaper for the same size drive. If you're using the laptop screen instead of a seperate monitor, I prefer a 17.3" display.

    I've had good luck with my HP laptop, and I like the Intel i7 processors. However, I don't keep up with computer hardware like I did in HS and college when I was gaming.

    No idea man. I have a buddy that just got a 2019 trd OR DCLB and I want to get him in an easy trail but with some good views and maybe some technical parts that a stock truck could handle.

    I like HP, and have an 18 inch Envy. I'm getting ready to buy a cheap throw away laptop for research purposes, and work related training.

    Anybody want a badass cat? I'm moving and won't be able to bring him with me. All other housing arrangements haven't planned out. Him and all his cat stuff is free.

    Personally I’d go for an ultrabook. Most of those start with 256gb SSDs, 8gb Ram, solid battery life and super light, although more on the expensive side. I’d probably go with a little bigger SSD but I don’t think it’s required.

    I’ve been using an HP Spectre x360 for like 4 or 5 years now. I haven’t used it but I like the Lenovo Yoga 900 series specs. The Dell XPS 13 has been considered one of the best ultra books for years.

    I’d you don’t want to spend ultrabook money then HP envy, Dell Inspiron, others. Just make sure it’s got 8+gb ram and probably an Intel i5 processor at the least. Google chrome will shit on lower spec computers if you are like me and have 20 tabs open. With word, excel, adobe and whatever else open at the same time haha

    I've never had him outdoors since I got him in December but that's where he came from. He's still got his claws and is pretty good size.0320190012.jpg 0125192210c.jpg

    Looks tasty. Would you consider him active or lazy? How old is he? Is he pretty easy going or does he put up a fight?

    He'd need to be a full-time outdoor cat here. If you think he'd tolerate that, I can check with the wife.

    A lady I work with is a crazy cat lady. If you wanna drive down here I bet she’d take him. I can ask Friday.

    He mostly likes looking out the windows and stuff chirping at birds. He gets a little wild like all cats but the shelter when I got him said he's about 5. He's fixed he loves to lay on your lap and loves head scratches. He'll let you scratch his head for an hour if youre just sitting there.

    He might love it. He wants to eat the Chipmunks outside so bad. Would he have a shelter or cat house though?

    Nope. He's just a big ball of floof he catches and kills bugs inside the house too.

    If my family doesn't like his flavor will you be upset that he didn't find his "forever home"?
