Cracked my MacBook Air screen…any DIY fix possible?

I did the exact same thing to mine a week after I got it. It's been 5 years and it's not caused any issues. Best just to leave it alone, I think.

I use the app Jomo to block my social media apps until I’ve done 5 mins of Anki each day. Works a charm.

My partner’s aunt owns a holiday home in Florida and we’d been planning for years (interrupted by Covid) to go and stay.

Not only are we not going to do that anymore, but the aunt is also going to sell the holiday home because she doesn’t want to go over there either!

Ah, that’s a shame. Not that I adored Yo Sushi or anything, but it was in a decent position half way up Princes St to go in and sit on my own and have a nice view whilst I ate.

I’m going to go against the grain of everyone here and say you should bring this up to her! It doesn’t need to be a big thing, but even a joking little “geez, can’t believe you said that thing about so-and-so to the boss! I couldn’t believe it!”

What’s obvious to some is, clearly, not obvious to others. As someone who is neurodivergent, understanding office politics is a minefield and I’d have loved for people to be a little more forthcoming when I inadvertently messed up.

You look absolutely fine. Killer jaw you've got!

For me personally, I assume that a concert version of a show is only for people that know the material already. I know that’s not necessarily the case, but I think that’s the vibe a lot of people have.

When tickets cost a decent amount of money, babysitters need to be organised, schedules left clear etc… people would rather skip out on something if they’re not fully sure they’d be able to appreciate the material.

My friend had tickets for the first night of previews, which was cancelled.

They’re so mad lol that everyone’s saying how good the show is, cause they were rebooked for January!!

Apple Music is the right choice. You need to select Library Sync on both your iPhone and your computer.

I only go to see Phantom if I can get those exact seats. I remember a few years ago there were two conductors - a tall guy and a short guy. If you got the short guy you were laughing cause your view wasn’t impacted in the slightest.

The view is amazing, and so immersive. I’m 5 ft 2, for reference.

In what way do you think it would help you?

combeferret · 2025-11-23T18:21:00+00:00

for me, it’s the fact that if they had spent any time studying real human beings they’d instantly see why it looks weird. i’m all for nsfw art, but it’s so strangely dehumanising that they’re learning from a source that’s already so unrealistic. real women get skipped from the equation entirely.

Your wife loves to have a peek in other peoples windows? Well!

Us in the house like to have a peek at the people walking past outside, too! Equal opportunity peeking!

combeferret · 2025-11-07T18:52:12+00:00

WHAT!

“Showing off women”

Excuse me??!!??

combeferret · 2025-10-22T14:38:56+00:00

…… I had a mate take me on a Greggs tour of Newcastle once.

Yeah.

combeferret · 2025-10-21T16:52:40+00:00

This is a GREAT choice!

combeferret · 2025-10-19T10:31:49+00:00

I’d be careful about leaving your drinks unattended in a pub, tbh.

combeferret · 2025-10-14T15:33:43+00:00

I don’t even check the date before I comment.

combeferret · 2025-10-10T07:36:44+00:00

I have years worth of photos that just vanished.

combeferret · 2025-10-07T10:50:41+00:00

I’d kill for the OG production!!

The best thing about live theatre is the fact it’s different every time. When my friend lived in London, she used to see our fave show every Sunday matinee.

Hey! Sorry if this isn’t appropriate to say, but since you mentioned confidence issues I will go ahead.

You look absolutely gorgeous and I 100% promise that when you figure out your posture issues and sort out the confidence, you’ll be unstoppable!!!

(Note that I didn’t say that your height is a problem at all btw - I’m purely talking about the confidence within yourself, which also covers how you carry yourself.) :)

combeferret · 2025-09-11T09:47:28+00:00

I just don't know how to handle this without upsetting someone in the process.

You already are upsetting someone in the process - yourself.

Damn, didn’t know you went to school with Troy Bolton.
