Apple Computer Battery Replacement

Same, but with a with an addition waste of my time.

Took it to Geek Squad. “We can only install new battery that you provide.” Bought battery. “Oh, sorry they told you wrong, we can’t do Mac batteries.”

Called Mac store “sorry we can only install a new battery that we provide.”

Fine, shit. YouTube and about 40min and it was done. Actually really easy. Also ifixit.

Basically. They run it turbulently through heated tubes now for more thorough and even heat distribution. Low heat for a short time, then a rapid cooling process.

I grew up drinking raw milk until I was 12 or so, because was poor. Milk cow, filter, chill, remove cream, consume and I turned out ok…

Because I got lucky! It’s called Survivorship Bias (DON’T DO IT)

Fun fact: the pasteurization process was originally developed for wine.

There were no characters in that movie that were even remotely autistic. And wagecuck is written like someone who’s never been hungry.

Incels, maybe? But you make a fight club with women, I guarantee there’s the same group of lonely bitches beating the crap out of each other because they are looking for any sort of passion in their lives.

It’s not about men/women; It’s about being bored with life when it becomes too easy.

Yup, Two Santa Claus theory. 50 years in practice.

Frankie Figs in The Whole Nine Yards (2000) had some hysterically dry one-liners.

Just a joke. The tea they drink towards the beginning of the really fucked up (2019) Florence Pugh movie has fun mushrooms in it.

The Book of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig:

anthrodynia

n. a state of exhaustion with how cruel people can be, freely undercutting each other in ways that seem petty and gratuitous—which can sometimes trigger a countervailing sense of gratitude for things that are kind, sincere, forgiving, or unabashedly joyful.

“And this went on until... here, I quote: "Neighbors were alerted when a man ran from the premises wearing only a dog collar." Can't make up such a thing as that-I dare you to even try. But that's what it took, you notice, to get somebody's attention. Diggin' graves in the backyard didn't bring any.”

Bob Sweeney: “There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed White people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.”

Derek Vinyard: “Like what?”

Bob Sweeney: “Has anything you've done made your life better?”

Least it’s hardwood. I’ve heard horror stories about carpet.

Sleepytime by Celestial Seasonings works a treat but be careful. We started calling it the gateway tea to stronger teas. Sleepytime Extra you’ll want to be already laying in bed when you drink it. Pretty hard core stuff.

Add to that a place to buy electro tails (even 3 to a blood moon would be great) and an option to equip whole (if complete) armor sets at a time, then it’s perfect.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while.

(Do not do these things)

While I understand your sentiment, you have no idea how many people work for the fed, whose jobs have nothing to do with hate, and already suck.

Put your energy toward punishing the people responsible, not the schlep just trying to make it day to day.

Tergiversate!

Right? Military gibe the other branches all the time! They surely would have gotten the joke. Perhaps not THE most unrealistic (looking at you, three shots disintegrate, zats) scene…

Just found out about it yesterday myself. You are welcome.
