It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.

People had fewer existential crises when the wealth difference between your peasant ass and the literal king was less than the wealth difference between us today and Elon Musk.

Only half kidding. There is no point, climate change is ending modern human civilization within 50 years anyway. That is not a joke or exaggeration or shitpost. That is hard science, the models just keep getting worse and worse.

Welcome to the end of capitalism, and humanity with it. Love yourself a little before it all ends, fam. Buy that treat. None of this matters anyway.

So, just like the “orcs” that Western liberals love to dehumanize, approve of war crimes against, and cheer for the brutal drone deaths of as they lose each of their limbs over the course of an hour? The ones I see them cheering for the brutalization of every day?

After all, they’re the invaders.

I recall plans being unveiled for $40k in student loan relief around this time 4 years ago as well. That didn’t happen, the concession is blocked by court order, and now I’m being told to vOtE again just one more time.

Just like how vOtInG was supposed to codify Roe v Wade, bring in police reform, correct the trillions of dollars handed out on PPP fraud, bring us Medicare for all… damn you know what I’ve been being told to vOtE these problems away for decades now.

Why don’t Dems push policy through during one of the many majorities they’ve enjoyed in the last 60 years?

And they’re most likely too liberal to even understand that the US literally caused this entire situation for no reason except jingoistic racist imperialist greed

Both major consoles literally have multiple versions with differing performance lmfao

Shh stop pointing out basic reality to liberals, they’ll get scared and start sending you death threats

And for the cherry on top, the party in the 2-party system that claims to be the “good” side trying to implement all these citizen-friendly policies have enjoyed multiple majorities in the last 40 years that would have allowed them to do these with the snap of a finger using well documented legal mechanisms.

And yet, they do not.

That liberal sneer about leftists just wanting to complain rather than fix things? Also projection.

Really weird how everywhere I turn, the “good” side is doing the same fucking thing as the bad orange side.

Unfortunately it applies to US imperial colonies as well. South Korean white collar workers will pay about $400-800 a month for health insurance, same as Americans.

Good thing Dems have dropped M4A from their platform!

We just gonna pretend RBG had no part in this, desperately holding onto power until her literal last breath?

Now that can’t be, I received word from a liberal on this very platform that the US didn’t send them $24 billion in weapons, they actually only sent $20 billion therefore the genocide is back on the menu!

Sometimes I wonder if liberals even feel cognitive dissonance at being the same MAGA chuds they claim to hate so much.

Ah wait, if they did, they wouldn’t be liberals!

Blue MAGA! Blue MAGA!

So, @[email protected] you gonna expound on any of the discussion that systematically disproves every single one of your complaints?

Nah. I knew you wouldn’t. Because you don’t care about logic or reason or scoring or competition. You don’t even give a shit about the Olympics.

All you care about is how your feefees are offended.

Good thing facts don’t care about your feelings.

My favorite part about the liberals coming in here to muster a defense is how their only argument is “but Trump would be worse,” conveniently saying nothing about how they are literally advocating for genocide.

“But she called for ceasefire,” they cry, while simultaneously sending their daily billion dollars of bombs and ammo.

Also omitting how the DNC is clearly complicit with the GOP and will objectively not make things better, just worse at a slower pace. As shown by the last 50 years.

Their responses will get increasingly absurd and nonsensical the further this goes on. Behavior paralleling Israeli Zionists.

Oh look, it happened again, liberals aligned with fascists. Really weird how that just keeps happening over and over and over and over and over and over.

Who are the ones that want fascism again?

You think you’re pissed off now, wait til you find out those slackers are making more money than you and will be promoted ahead of you because, well you do such good work, how would they ever find a good replacement?

This following sentences are something that took me years to fully internalize, thankfully it didn’t take more.

Nobody on their deathbed ever said “I wish I worked more unpaid overtime”. Nobody grieving at a funeral ever said “I wish I spent more time at work instead of with them”.

And nobody at your company ever said “I wish I paid you more”.

This is an incredibly American attitude. The appliance clearly has a commonly occurring misuse that puts consumers at risk of burning their neighborhood down.

It would be a trivial addition to put a physical deadman’a switch on the bottom, exactly like what space heaters use.

The role of government and regulation is to serve and protect the people. I cannot believe you are unironically advocating that corporations should just put out whatever dangerous products they want with no repercussions just because there is one specific way to use it “correctly”.

Nevermind the million things that could happen. Cat knocks it over. Disabled or elderly person? Stoned college kid? Child?

I guess it’s all about pErSoNaL rEsPoNsiBilItY when it benefits you, and all about collectivism when it only benefits you huh?

McDonalds in developed nations such as East Asia or Western Europe will generally taste much better for the same relative cost.

This is because the US has much, much weaker food regulations than other developed countries and allows all kinds of additives, treatments, and substitutions that are straight up banned in other nations.

This is why Americans tend to rave about the food whenever they travel internationally. Like, no sweetie, your country just allows businesses to feed you carcinogenic slop for luxury prices.
