 @KMyers how about if I install ubuntu native?
 @RazPi, There are better options than a Chromebook for that.
 I like what you've told me about crostini but I just need a barebones system that compiles and runs forever on battery
 .. there have even been days when I've done nothing but written code into a notebook
 Ewww... Seems like a XPS may be a good option as well if you want an vanilla Ubuntu install
 I'd like as barebones as possible, maybe even slackware but I might just go Debian since sometimes I have to install a package while working and I don't have too much time to tinker lately
 Battery life is increasingly the mos important issue I've got lately
 The international flight over here didn't have a power outlet x_x
 USB access is supposed to be coming in M72
 If I could carry 5 extra batteries with me and change them out I would.
 I can't wait to see if the Google Pixelbook upgrade is any better than my Pixelbook. If so I may be upgrading. If I do, my Pixelbook will be up for sale
 @KMyers hnnnngh
 @KMyers You're going to laugh, but I did a search for replaceable and long battery life, and .. a thinkpad came up. I think I think I'm their target consumer. I feel awfully catered to.
 Thinkpad, ancient technology for people who still use things like paper and pencil.
 ThinkPads are reliable and have a cult following. They also can survive q bearing

 q bearing?
 Quite a beating
 Auto correct fail
 Oh man, they really do
 This thing hasn't flinched with anything that's happened to it.
 Only thing I'll miss if I move to the T80 though is the wacom digitizer and touchscreen
 *T580
 Wow. A bit primitive
 xD there was karaoke there- believe it or not that was advanced for around there
 and 7mbps cel connection
 omg XD
 I WISH I could do that here
 Is that OnePlus headquarters?
 @AdamOutler, Ouch

 If they use the Microwave to charge the phones, they should be fine - as long as they go face down.
 @KMyers I'll be back Friday/Saturday
 Cool. I leave on the 11th
 Did you all want to meet up this weekend
 not sure yet
