I thought it was 9 months from the first missed period

I think the format was previously used to represent change in opinion by level of experience (hence the curve). It likely got confused with time passing since typically experience increases with time. Ex:

Transport Tycoon and RollarCoaster Tycoon (1 & 2)

Are you yelling because they're in right now?

Awesome! Not sure how I didn't notice the X and Y buttons as well

Is that an aftermarket PCB? It looks white and as if the components are different. Nice build!

Check out Apple refurbished if you haven't already. I almost exclusively buy Apple computers this way. You get basically a brand new device with a warranty and a nice discount because some of the innards were used. The exterior and battery is brand new so you would never know the difference. Looks like there's a few MacBook Airs on there within your price range and even a couple Mac mini's for less if desktop would suffice.

Edit to add: Anything with the "M-" chips should be supported for a while. M3 and M2 would likely be the safest though it seems like the first gen M1 is still well supported. If 16GB ram is available and affordable enough, I'd snag that. 8GB is just bare minimum nowadays but I have heard and apple claim that 8GB on their M-series laptops is akin to 12-16GB on other devices. Could be hogwash (I haven't used any of the M laptops), but just wanted to throw that out there.

Schism?

Na it's bread in a meat bun. That's why the caption calls it a "dog hot", the reverse of a "hotdog"

What's wrong with media bias fact check? Is it itself biased?
