Damn. I imagined that now that the M4 Mini is out, the M1 Mini would be super cheap on the used market.
Nope! They're still like $400 for a base model! For a four-year-old computer! A new M4 model is $600!
I mean, for Pete's sake, an M1 Mini with 16G RAM is like... $600... on ebay
why would anyone order that

Back in the old days, we used alt text because folks didn't always want to wait for them to download.
I'm sitting at the end of my driveway, ready to hand out candy, connected to the house wifi.

Me: What should I be for Halloween?
Hereafter follows a series of siri's answers:
1. I see London, I see France, I see you dressing up as the English channel.
2. Wear yellow and white, put on some little red horns and you can be a deviled egg.
3. Put a radio on your head and dress up as a creep.
4. Put on a duckbill, carry a basketball and a slide rule, and be a technical fowl.
5. If you stayed home, and just chilled with your iPod, I suppose, you'd be a HomePod.
6. You could put on surgeon scrubs, hold some instruments, and tell people you're an operating system.
7. Put a little red microphone icon on your shirt. Then, pretend to talk without making any sound. You're that person on every video call who's stuck on mute.
8. Get a rhinestone jumpsuit, sideburns, tinted glasses and some pointy ears. Tell everyone you're elvish.
9. jump up and down over and over and shake your fist. You can tell everyone you're anti gravity.
10. Just smile and nod. Then you can be your own bobblehead doll.
11. You could be a pirate. I'll be your co-pirate.
12. Just carry around a martini glass filled with some guacamole, go around clinking glasses with everyone, and yell: รvocado toast!".
13. You could carry around a squirt bottle and say you're a streaming service.
14. Be a ghost. All you need is an old spreadsheet.
15. You could go as an eclipse. Just dress in black and stand in front of things.
