Need to upgrade Macbook Pro for new job

Good morning folks.

I'm starting a new job which will eventually give me a work-issued computer, however they recommended using my personal one in the meantime for apps like Teams, Authenticator, Duo, etc.

My current MacBook Pro is from 2017 and while it still runs very smoothly, the OS can't update past Ventura 13.7.8 so I'm faced with the quandary of getting something newer. I see a lot of options out there for used or refurbished MacBook Pros but with so many to choose from, I'm wondering what is the most reputable source so I don't end up wasting $800-900 on something that will end up being a dud and not have any recourse with whatever company I end up buying from.

I looked at the Apple website for refurbished 2024 models and I was honestly surprised they're going for well over $2k. Are companies like Back Market worth looking into?

Thanks and have a great Monday.

Best non-clog type shoes

Happy Friday chefs.

Looking for recommendations on non-slips that are not clogs or slip-ons. I tried out a couple different kinds in the past and I just hate that feeling that my shoes are about to fall off of my feet. I have super wide feet so if I go a size smaller for a more snug fit, my toes end up getting painfully smashed together.

Thanks and have a good weekend

One-Eared Pibs?

Anyone else have a pibble with one ear? We foster failed Miller early this year, he had an MCT on one of his ears that was rather large so they ended up playing it safe and basically taking the whole thing. He sure is a happy old guy though and I love the heck outta him. As you can see, he's quite fond of our... I mean, his couch.
