not sure what to tell you, exposed sprinkler pipes are extremely common, even when i look at luxury condos in like san diego, LA, miami exposed sprinklers are everywhere. it's a common look to create a more industrial feel (matches the concrete ceilings)

the floors are indeed not actual hardwood. when the building was built, the majority of buyers opted for default floors instead of paying to upgrade to hardwood. i thought about upgrading it myself but it would have been a lot of work and about 15k to upgrade...decided it wasn't worth it
I'm just being a dick lol. Seriously though, you should get diffusers for your LEDs. They will look a lot more professional and looks significantly better than just having dots everywhere.

So what? Exposed piping is not luxury at all.

green-i see no mismatch
Agreed. I zoomed in and it seems like it's just a scuff or over application of paint.

Now upon zooming in, the floors look like vinyl planks, and not actual hardwood... so that's also not luxury either.

You're joking, right? You can have ceiling molding slightly below the ceiling and bounce the lights off the ceiling, or you can get LED diffusers like this:

Surfaces are great they just have terrible battery life but that is the trade off you get for having a powerful tablet.
Yea I noticed battery draining pretty quickly when I'm just doing normal tablet-y stuff on it, like browsing the internet and watching YouTube. No freaking way this lasts 16 hours as advertised lol.

I haven't yet figured out if going to sleep mode is like a computer going to sleep mode (so like it's "off") or is it like a tablet/phone going to sleep mode (so like just screen off, still everything on). I think it's the former (it's like "off").

At the end of a day its still got all the guts of a laptop in it and is far heavier than a tablet. I got nothing against them but they dont replace laptops or tablets except in scenarios where weight or performance doesnt matter which is typically just work
I actually wanted a fully functional tablet. Go 3 was going to be my first choice, but couldn't justify it at all (see post #6). If they had an i5 version, I would've jumped all over it.

Was just browsing BestBuy a few days ago because I want something thats a decent laptop but doubles as a great drawing pad. Ended up eyeing the Surfaces. Any standout pros or cons?
I really like the form factor of the Surface Go 3, but I could not justify spending that much money on such a poorly equipped device:
  • It comes with a Pentium Gold 6500Y (passmark of 3,200) and a ridiculous 4gb RAM for $399. If you want to upgrade to 8gb of RAM, it'll cost $549! wtf was Microsoft thinking?!
  • The Go 3 also offers i3 10100Y (passmark of 3,300) but at a staggering price of $629. And that extra +100 passmark score is not worth the price premium of an i3 vs Gold.
Go 3 is woefully under equipped for something running full Windows.

So the next best up is the Surface Pro 8:
  • i5 1135G7 (passmark score of 10,200) and 8gb of RAM for $1,099, or
  • i7 1185G7 (passmark score of 11,000) and 16gb of RAM for $1,449.
While I personally thought the Surface Pro 8 felt a little too large (compared to the Go 3), I ended up purchasing it because the internals essentially make it a fully functional computer that can last a few years, and the tablet is much lighter than I thought it would be (under 2lbs; similar as an iPad Pro), making it not that big of a deal to hold.

As for how it is, it's a great little device that is extremely well put together. You're going to like it if you want full blown windows on the go. If you want more tablet experience (iPad or Android or Chromebook even), you're going to hate it.

Packing federal courts with right leaning judges and the three supreme court justices, apparently. At the least from what I remember would be the tax cuts for the rich, the wasted money of the border wall, kids in cages at the border...

Coming to this conclusion shows a complete lack of understanding how the US government works, and a complete lack of knowledge as to what happened the last 4 years under the Trump administration. He packed the federal courts with his own appointment judges, and got 3 Supreme Court nominations under his presidency.

In summary, shut the fuck up.
So educate me then. At this rate, democrats are going to lose in the next election.

Actually, isn't this proof republicans are just better at furthering their agenda than democrats?
