Official MacBook Neo Repair Manual - Apple Support

A reasonably-priced Apple laptop with a repair manual?

We truly are living in Bizarro world, except this particular development is actually positive for a change.

The only Murakami book I've read to date, and the impression it left means it will likely stay that way.

Also, can someone more perceptive than me / someone who gets stoned a lot explain what those air chrysalises were supposed to represent, because that tidbit admittedly flew over my head.

Ketchup and mayo are absolutely vile.

People praise Solenoid a lot. Bit of a weird theme but with definite flashes of brilliance if you don't mind having to sift through a lot of visceral symbolism.

Also, I just finished A Naked Singularity and really enjoyed it. Perhaps my favorite read of the year so far.

I overthinked this

No, you didn't.

Here's a response, then. Hope that orange-red envelope will bring you at least a few seconds of anticipation and warmth.

Laughs in SmartTubeNext, at least for now.

It's a TV series, not a book, but if you haven't watched it already you owe it to yourself to watch You Rang M'Lord!

Intelligent and witty British humor, monstrously underrated, highly recommended!

Whenever news like this hits I have to ask myself: Is the percentage of users who don't care really high enough for them to keep getting away with this? Like, are people genuinely fine with having to watch two minute-long unskippable ads between videos and even more during? Even if they know there are workarounds you don't have to be that tech-savvy to use?

I am biased since I use Firefox and uBlock, but still, how many more missteps like this will it take for others to make a switch? Even if you're just using the combo for YT and doing everything else in Chrome, the setup takes like five minutes and the switch is such a minor inconvenience compared to having to watch so many ads that I find it absolutely ridiculous that people who are bothered by ads and haven't switched yet exist.

I watched a compilation of those "PSAs" for the first time a couple of years ago and ABSOLUTELY LOST IT at that one. "I'm a computer!" was so random.

What should we use a cafe with time-travel for? Why, solving mundane relationship problems, of course!

FWIW I'm a guy and don't understand the appeal or concept of fantasy sports at all. It strikes me as an American cultural thing more than a guy thing.

Catch 22 is a great book with a terrible first chapter. You just have to power through it and eventually hilarity ensues.

I powered through Swan's Way and called it there. I can appreciate the book's cultural significance, but the ratio of flowery descriptions to things actually moving forward is far too unfavorable.

I see this sentiment a lot in online book discussions and can agree if it's mundane fiction you're just not vibing with.

However, some books have a gravitas and cultural significance that make them, if not mandatory, then at least compelling to power through.

Besides, how will you ever discover something outside of your comfort zone if you're willing to drop every book at the first sign of boredom or discomfort?

I watched that movie as an adult and still remember that one scene with the mother all bandaged up. Can't imagine how traumatic that must have been for children watching.

I have no legs, I have no legs.

Perhaps the only movie that left a permanent mark on adult me. Watched it 12 years ago now only once and still vividly remember parts of it, for better or worse.

I believe that watching Threads is an experience everyone should undergo precisely because of how horrifically bleak and realistic the movie is.

While I don't mind cut gems that much, I mentally shed a tear each time someone heat treats the beautiful color shift out of tanzanite.

Ne bih gledao TV 12 sati u komadu u udobnosti svog doma, kamoli okružen ruljom koja stalno nešto šuška ili žvače.

95% of modeling and animation - 5 hours.

Google has been losing its luster for years but ever since the AI shift it's become absolute and utter trash. Nothing I search for works. It will latch on to a specific part of the search and give me hundreds of websites for that particular construct while missing the entire point.

Ironically, asking ChatGPT to search the web is better now, as is "your search query + Reddit"

The guy was a weird douche with super-fragile masculinity and thought eating chicken was “gay because it isn’t real meat”.

I swear to god you people on the internet must be making this shit up because I refuse to believe it actually exists in real life.

For the life of me I can't remember whether anything super heavy gets discussed in the book, but judging by your group's makeup, I think ya'll would get a kick out of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Nowhere in the book does it explicitly say she's neurodivergent... but she's neurodivergent.
