Off The Net -- I Will Follow Up On This Later -- July 15, 2023

But why choose? Get both!

One is for work; the other is for play.

Link here.

I promised to get back to this one. It took awhile but finally. It’s 4:00 a.m. local time; I’m laying in bed; my significant other is sound asleep; with the iPad inside a case I can block screen light from bothering her.

Computer use:

day time: 90% of time while I’m on the computer — I use it to blog. That’s my life;
night time: 90% of time while I’m on the computer — I use it to surf.

During the day, I work. I use a laptop.

During the night, I play. I use a tablet.

It took awhile to parse Nicole’s review above. What was she comparing? Finally I figured it out.

Nicole was comparing a laptop with a tablet FOR WORK. Once one understands that, the decision is easy.

If this is all about work, there is only one choice: the laptop.

For me:

I work during the day: the laptop;
I play during the night: the tablet.

To work one needs a laptop.

Nicole was using a tablet to work. That requires a keyboard and a trackpad / mouse.

[The fact she even mentions a mouse suggests she is far behind the times but she had to mention the mouse for reasons we will discuss below.]

To be continued.

For Willie Nelson's bus:

The specific gravity of Three Forks Second Bench oil in the Antelope-Sanish is: 0.82.289.

The specific gravity of diesel is between 0.82 and 0.88.

At 41° API I don't think this oil needs to be refined; it can be put into Willie Nelson's bus "as is."
