Not sure about US but here it is harder to renew an expired passport. Better to get it done early.

There are some countries that won't let you in if your passport is due to expire in the next few months.
Better to renew early if there is any chance you'll need it near the end.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Most countries require your passport to be valid for 6 months before they let you in.
Get the passport renewed at least 3 months in advance just for any contingencies.
The US doesn't add unexpired time to the new passport.
By the way, all passport applications at overseas US consulates and embassies could not be processed after May 26. The situation may have been resolved by now.

If it is the US, renew it before it expires.
Usually takes less time and last I checked a renewal costs less than a new application.
|

IMO, renew it when you need it.
Mine expired years ago, and I never renewed it, and have no intention of doing so.

Depends, if you're crossing the border...
in some countries (like turkey) your passport needs to be valid for atleast 1 year upon entering the country (as a foreigner).

Need to do mine, too, as it expires next month.
But the damn photo keeps coming out looking like me.

For some reason, I am stuck on Devil Doll and Squirrel Nut Zippers today. Must be the conversions of FoxPro to VB.Net

For some reason when I saw Squirrel Nut Zippers I thought of this[^] album.

Seems like "Crawlin' the Walls" by Dave Gross is suitable for this project, as well

Style reminds me of this[^] guy!

Oh, yeah. Haven't thought of him years, I loved his stuff. Try "Pink Martini" - the lead singer sings in English, French, German, Japanese and Arabic(?)

Well actually 3 laptops 
My kids currently have chrome books and the eldest also has a really ancient 1st gen Netbook, which is only good wasting energy. With them moving over to Qatar in August, I promised I would get them new ones. The eldest is also doing a lot more homework online and presentations as part of school work, so thought it was time to give up the chromebooks which have served very well for the last few years.
I had been looking around and for some reason kept getting drawn towards Lenovo, so that is what I elected to try.
The youngest has bagged a Yoga 2-13
The eldest has bagged a Yoga 3-14
and I treated myself to a 3rd Generation X1 Carbon......wanted to get the 512SSD version, but they are on a 3-4week lead, so had to just stick with the 256 version so that it arrives in time for me to collect it when I go back to the UK for a week at the end of June. I remember Hanselman was raving about his during a video once, so I thought what the hell.
I'm just calling it a Father's day present to myself, makes the justification easier

I'll have to check out the X1 Carbon, I've been looking to update my old workhorse.

The X1 looks nice - the top of the range is sold out.
Lenovo: why do they still have that stupid button in the middle of the keyboard??? Why??? Why???

I had a think pad many many years ago, and used to love the g-spot on the keyboard, even wore it out and had to replace the rubber.
Wonder if it will get much use this time round!

I took delivery of one of these bad boys a couple of weeks ago. Oh my[^].

Sweet, although looks a bit big to lug around!
Also, 17 inch screen and only 1920x1280 ewwww!

The resolution is fine. I have had higher res laptops in the past, and haven't been that enamoured of them. My last Ultrabook was some insane resolution - a lot of the apps I run had dialogs that looked stupid at that resolution. The text was too small, and the dialogs were tiny.
|
|
|
|
|
That's why I avoided some other laptops with 3840x2160 or whatever it is and think the x1 2560x1440 should be a happy balance.

It doesn't feel that bad.

But it's quite stationary, isn't it?
