I'm typing this on a Thinkpad X220. It's a great machine with room for a 1TB disk, analog and digital video ports, and a classic Thinkpad keyboard.

Nissan LeafOther
I drive electric cars: a Think from 2002 (still with original batteries), and a newer Nissan Leaf. Both are fantastic cars.

emacsSoftware
I also use emacs a lot. I type this in emacs, and I read email in emacs (in vm, to be precise). I've used emacs since 1988 and I have email archives from back then.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
