  • Just charge it and use it. Recharging and discharging the battery shortens the life of the battery. In an ideal world, you would charge the laptop battery to 50% and then never charge or use it again, but that’s makes your battery fucking useless.

    So use your laptop. My advice is to keep it plugged in as much as possible. Most laptops (even 10 years ago) can run directly off the wall power, which stops the battery from degrading (as fast) as older laptops where they were constantly powered by the battery, and the charger just kept it topped off.

    Most of the battery advice you hear is just voodoo bullshit, or it makes a very small difference in the overall life of the battery. Just use your computer like normal.


  • I don’t think protest works without risk to the protestors. They have to be willing to take those risks to stand up for a cause, otherwise it’s not a protest, it’s just a group complaint.

    If someone said “you can protest over there, at these certain times” you’d fuckin bet that I’d protest anywhere and any time except for what was specified.

    Kennedy said, “Those who make peaceful protest impossible, make violent protest inevitable”, the modern version should be “those who don’t listen to peaceful protest, are signaling that they will only respond to violent protest”.

    So if protestors are disrupting classes, delaying traffic, and forcing the general public to acknowledge the issue at hand, then good, that’s what a protest should do. If they are causing immediate danger to themselves or others, then they should expect to be removed, hopefully voluntarily.
