    Is there anyone here not from the US that would care to share what the general vibe is surrounding Ukraine joining NATO? I’d be curious to hear from an “outside” prospective.

    Here in the US the general consensus seems to be “maybe, but NOT now.” People seem apprehensive about it starting WWIII. And Conservatives are frothing at the mouth about how Biden is going to get us all killed in a nuclear war (but that claim is often tossed around basically every election cycle. Trump also was supposedly going to get all of us nuked.)

    The support to continue sending military aid to Ukraine is also wavering in the US. At least among the people. The politicians are still lock-step in line with their support. I’d imagine the people in Europe are still much more in support but I could be wrong?

    “can barely get sleep right.”

    HOLY YES. I have a Mac for personal use but my work issued laptop is a PC. I’m used to just closing the screen on my Mac and it’s asleep. Battery will hold indefinitely. My work one NEVER goes to sleep correctly. If I don’t completely shut it down it will 100% be dead the next day. Obviously there’s a wide range of PC laptops and not all of them are like that, but it’s the little things like this that drive me insane about PC.
