Shopping for the MacBook While Blaming Sri Lanka for Another Lost Month

January 31, 2023

The day is dominated by laptop comparison and the pull of the MacBook Air, but the real story is deeper frustration: no progress, no transparency, no dependable help, and a growing belief that if Sri Lanka will not choose me or improve, I should take the machine, the writing, and myself to America instead.

Considering a Touchscreen HP Envy With RTX 3060

12:00 p.m.

I was searching for laptops. There is a 2.5k HP Envy. Which isn't AMOLED. However, it's a 120hz refresh rate and is touch screen. It doesn't have touch input for pen though. It's got 12700h i7, 3060 rtx, 1tb ssd, 16gb ram.

Comparing the Dell Inspiron Display With an HP Laptop

3:00 p.m. (b)

The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 display, while 3k, kinda sorta does suck.

I'm talking to these HP people in Australia, to check the technical details out.

Before going ahead with a purchase.

It's likely the last thing I'll need to buy for the next 3 to 5 years.

As I'll be earning soon.

Planning F-16 and F-35 Purchases Amid Laptop Delays and Disappointment

3:15 p.m.

█████████████████████████████ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ So, $3.6b to $6b. █████████████████ I hate the delays, but we're pushing through.

I think by February, should be able to buy and start using a new laptop.

Choosing the Cheaper Gold MacBook Air M1

4:15 p.m.

I think that this Macbook Air M1 looks pretty good.. better color than on Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620. I should get this cheaper, but much better laptop by Apple.

Depression, Laptop Setbacks and Anger at Jonathan Hirshon

6:45 p.m.

████████████████████████████ I'm just angry at the low quality experiences you have in Sri Lanka with such disaster outcomes everywhere. I think everyone is frustrated and doesn't want to stay here. Because there's absolutely no transparency at all. No real opportunity for any valuable business contributions or work or whatever else. It's always all denied.

I'm in a bad mood about this set back. ████████████████████████████████████

I'm pissed off at the Shiny Wise Dragon

But not really. I guess we must share the blame when things go wrong. ██████████████████████████████████ I don't like this. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████

I guess that things aren't as bad as they could be and I have all the power and I can potentially do anything and improve things

I feel I'm in a better place than 1 month ago, or 1 year ago or 5 years ago

███████████████████████████ I don't respect her. I believe I'm an over correction in character. I believe if people here don't choose me as a replacement or a leader, I'll leave willingly to go enjoy my life. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

████████████████████████████████

I expect people to do stuff on their own, and while not putting my needs or expectations or interests above their own, I still expect them to show sincerity or value them or not cheaply betray or step on or doormat syndrome basically my own perspective or effort or strategies

I guess, that I have more disgust for people like Saranapala, and can't look past or forgive, and have learned contempt which is very deep in my core now

I don't think I'll look past it

Severe Depression, Financial Stress and Ending the Partnership With Jonathan

9:00 p.m.

I must be under stress. As the laptop or any computer's not available. I can't work or do anything. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ Any direction away from him is a good direction now. You can't partner or cooperate on business with people like him.

The guy's not taken any action from his end. It's very frustrating because he's not really a child or my responsibility or whatever. He should do things on his own. I guess, that the standards must be very low over there if that's how that fellow acts by doing nothing.

Ambivalence About Jonathan and a Joke About Nordic Punishments

9:15 p.m. (b)

Whatever. I guess he's not that bad. He's also the coolest person I know. I guess, that I have ambivalent views. ███████████████████████████████████████ I guess that over 2023, things will improve dramatically.

███████████████████████████ But not really. I mean in general maybe.

My friends are alright.

I've responded with hostility already.

Joke:

I don't know what my Nordic law codes will be, but I guess tentatively, it's

Calling Out a Mistaken Claim About the MacBook M2

█████████████████████████████ Simple thing, even they couldn't do it right. I'm shocked. They mistakenly write M2 is fanless. What the Foxtrot are they doing? They're wrong.

Crazy

Urging Semiconductor Firms to Leave Taiwan Before a Chinese Takeover

9:30 p.m. (b)

It's wise, to move the semi conductor businesses out of Taiwan while you still can do so at this time.

That way, when China inevitably lay reclaim to Taiwan island, the business of strategic importance is salvaged.

Oh it does have no fan.

I am wrong!

Hehe

Well. It's just because it seems impossible for me that this is even real.

Such a beautiful piece of art.

Trying to Cool Down and Stay Patient Under Stress

9:45 p.m. (b)

I guess I'm just overheating or stressed out, and in a foul state for now.

Should improve.

I should be cool and also patient.

I think anyone in my position would react in the same or in a worse way.

I'm coping and tolerating and showing a great deal of cooperation even now.

There won't be another next time and the price of doing business with me is clearly visible in black and white as you can see
