That doesn’t make it right either.

The lack of a true “no” option and only “maybe later” infuriates me.

The quick access list drives me bonkers, glad someone else feels the same way. My work is an MS shop so it’s required. I somehow have two different desktops folders, one “local” and one in OneDrive, I assume some sync conflict caused that to happen but gave up trying to reconcile the versions.

I'm a little surprised to see this use case as so important, there are a couple other comments agreeing with you. Out of curiosity, why is this particular feature that important to you? Why is this flow better than double clicking the file or opening the program first and then opening the file?

Again, not trying to disagree, just curious to understand.

Thanks, I appreciate that link. I had a chance to read this today and found it very interesting.

Apologies for the tone in my original comment. I misdirected work stress this morning.

Weight loss is absolutely a result of CICO, please site a source that states otherwise.

I have never heard another source citing Oxygen/CO2 exchange as a factor for weight change, again, please site a source. O2 levels are certainly a factor of cardio health which can be correlated to overall health and weight.

Yes, macros also matter. But, nothing matters as much as the simple math of calories in/calories out. Its disingenuous, borderline irresponsible, to suggest otherwise.

Your comment also makes a blanket statement.

You say the comment you replied to cited no sources while making an assertion you disagree with. Then, you go on to do the very same thing.

Strongly disagree. Part of the value of college is new experiences and being exposed to people and things you wouldn't be otherwise. Removing these experiences only reinforces the idea that the only benefit to college and university is to churn out worker drones.

Less than a 5th? So $340? You think that’s a good price point for someone who just wants a computer and no hassle with other hardware needs?

I have a little experience on this aspect. There are tons of local governments who weigh in on the location of these lines and that can be a contentious process to get buy-in from them.

Thank you for this info and including links. Looking through the full 10Q[1] I don't see the summary[2] or link to it. How do you go about finding summaries for other 10Qs from other companies? I was trying to work backwards to find the summary from the full 10Q so I could do the same for other companies.

How has your luck been on ripping them? I’ve taken a similar route but have mixed results on the ripping side of things. Different quality levels, more/less DRM to get around depending on the disk etc.
