He's learned that he doesn't lead a united caucus, so he has to play with the hand he is dealt.  It's the difference between advocacy, and having enough votes to actually win.

   I replaced my ABM Module last year on my Dodge Journey and I didn't research enough to realize that Dodge charges me $200 to flash my VIN in it.  So my Traction Light stays on and I can't use Cruz Control.  Soon readers will be cheap enough to allow me to do that <$100.

I'm only on a laptop if I'm in hunting camp. At home I'm on my desktop with a full keyboard, mouse, and a 24 in monitor that my son left. He's a gamer and his set-up used 6 monitors.

Get reversed? Did I commit some great sin?

No! I just wasn't sure what you meant. I get it now. @Weird Tolkienish Figure

I need a BIG screen and a mouse... Can't really function without them...

I love laptops. To me, phones and tablets never really improved that much on laptops (well phones are a different story with a different use case).

I use a separate 32" 4k monitor where the font is still small (125% scaling) but I can get a boat load of things on the screen. From schematics and PCB layout to lots of code.

And I can't do that with a 15" or 17" laptop 4k monitor... Then the font is just too small for me... But the laptop 4k monitor does do it cleanly.

I don't recall what my main monitor is on my desk... I think it's a 22", with 2 17's, one on either side. There's also a KVM setup on the main to send me over to my main test box, so I can operate that from my desk too.

But I'm a dinosaur. I do OOP, but badly, always going to line coding in all things. So I have a text editor, a cmd box, and my BaknBits (boilerplate and custom pre-made code), along with a file tree open, and that's all I need. Got pretty fancy when I went to a tabbed editor and a tabbed cmdbox.

The left-side monitor is always sitting on my main server, the right usually dedicated to PIM or the Project Manager. If I have Project management up, my PIM is on my laptop or my tablet, which is another station on my desk, though that station is usually in stand-by.

The only thing that sucks is that my test box needs it's own KB... so sending the vid over to my desk mains I have to run 2 KB at once... That's kinda a kludge, but I make do.
