Don’t want to send up a flare unnecessarily, but I used to see that patterning on machines with dead logic boards.

My last 17” MBP did that shortly before the board died completely & left me s.o.l. If you’re still under warranty or AC, maybe worth getting it checked?

I am not certain if this would be an issue with M-Series machines. If anyone knows for sure, I’d appreciate any info.

I bought Canada so I always have a Canadian supermodel girlfriend who just can’t be here right now.

Wait… Like the Principality of Sealand?

Was Major Bates still there?

Yep. So full of shit. You’re the one who came into an Apple community talking about how awful apple is.

What did you expect to happen? I’m honestly curious how you came to the brilliant the conclusion that you would what? Find sympathy here? Solidarity for your plight?

Good luck out there. Given your take on Apple & Windows, might I suggest Linux? Or is that too shitty for your liking to?

Well good for you pal, sounds like you’re just full of shit!

So… go somewhere else & bitch about it? Pretty sure most of the folks here ARE apple customers & are not confounded by this “pathetic veil of secrecy”.

In fact… and I’m goin out on a limb here, I know… I’d wager most people here have actually figured out how use Apple devices. Maybe even for the betterment of their daily lives.

Now, dry those tears with your Windows licenses & quit your bitchin.

Sure it is. Choose to earn a living some other way rather than coming into a community & shitting all over the thing the community is focused on.

You enjoy your Windows licenses there bud.

At the time, it was video editing. I went to film school & was a post production supervisor for 15 years in LA.

Having a laptop I could edit on & just knowing how to use Final Cut, gave me a major leg up starting my career.

I knew more about nonlinear editing than most of the post staff as a production assistant, because Avid made it too cost prohibitive for prosumers & students with their proprietary hardware.

Then Apple pooped out FCPX & gave Avid/Adobe the market back.

Still stuck with Apple though, just really fell into the environment & have been able to keep everything moving rather seamlessly.

But it’s ok to have a little fun when you do.

My mom & her brothers were arguing over family silverware. The older of my two uncles just took the silverware case & disappeared with it.

That year for Christmas, every immediate family received a custom made ring made from the melted silverware.

They’re not anything valuable. They look handmade & some of the pieces were outright ugly, but it worked.

We all still have that silverware & it means a lot to all of us.

To OP, completely understand you might not want jewelry made from a nazi knife, but maybe there’s an option to do something worthwhile while that melted metal, rather than just scrapping it?

If nothing else, you could encase a copy of mein kampf in the metal & have a fancy ass doorstop you can kick around.

“Is that a brick of silver holding your door open?”

“Nope. It’s a deactivated copy of that hitler book.”

Nahme I’m zeezpert nonyku. Iz time takemetothe toilet

Just a heads up, if you’re in the US, a lot of post offices have self serve kiosks away from the counter. You can use any envelope/packaging you like, as long as it fits on the scale at the kiosk.

Also, if you do decide to mail cash, fold it up inside another piece of paper. Maybe use two.

Idea being that some envelopes are translucent when held to the light, & cash is easy to spot. Folding it in paper will at least help with opacity.

And on a different note, you can legitimately use any packaging you like to mail something. It doesn’t have to be a blank envelope or packing box. You can literally slap an address & sufficient postage on a potato, & it will still reach its destination.

Kasa bulbs have a fade feature that lets you gradually fade up to x% over a given amount of time.

I really like using that feature to wake me up gradually as my alarm approaches.

Microwave it?

I’d never heard the term Ammosexual, that’s great. Now I kinda want to see the UrbanDictionary listing for a “Fully Loaded Magazine”.

u/Ademir… A Lemming on a mission with a swagger that will set the world at ease…

Cause our special big boy didn’t cry in the shower & has been allowed to use the illegal phone to check their emails! It’s a special day!

That bit where Levon is talking about how they named their band…

“We didn’t know what to call ourselves, so we just went with… THE BHAAND.”

Cracks me up every time.

Serena: “Just let it burn Alex… don’t you bring our family into that mess…”

I thought they were talking about that blue one with the f on it, no? Is it the little shovel dude one?
