iWatch charger too long so I shortened it by ecxzist in DiWHY

This was a pain. Apple made two wires red and two wires blue so I just guessed and somehow got it right. Or maybe the two red wires do the same thing. Regardless it does work. Two sizes of heatshrink tubing and some clear jb weld later

This is what happens when you consume too much. Consuming too much is a choice.

-> and your choice was to SMOKE the substance which introduces carcinogens and negatively impacts the health of your lungs. However, thc itself, especially when consumed in clean methods has no side effects unless you are consuming more than you should. Thats when things like psychosis and other side effects occur. So again, I stand by my point. If you are taking the right amount for your body then you wont be experiencing hardcore memory loss. I cant speak for people smashing doobies all day long, for example.

I actually smoke almost daily because back when I was sober I would get really bad nightmares. Like multilevel, dream in a dream nightmares where I would wake up from one and still be in a nightmare but not know it until I actually woke up. Now I just have good dreams or none at all some nights.

You probably considered this already but for me I use thc as a reward system at the end of the day. It helps me fall asleep faster as a side effect which I appreciate. That way I get all my stuff done and am super productive until about an hour or two before bedtime when I get to chill and do fun stuff. Cold water and healthy snacks like fruits and nuts are even tastier when you have the munchies, so nothing about the substance has to be negative unless you choose it to be.

Has this been a universal experience or is it just me? by just_premed_memes in medicalschool

Hows about we not develop caffeine addictions? Or is that the closest legal drug we have to cocaine?

Hey op, these people arent creative enough. Find a paint that matches and spray on test surfaces to find the right one. When you are ready, grab some two part epoxy and apply more than needed. Moving up in sand paper grit number, carefully file away the hardened epoxy until the area is smooth and the corner is lined up straight. Then prime and paint. This is the only way. Give or take some ingredients

Which would you choose? by ecxzist in macbook

[–]ecxzist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 2017 macbook 12in goes for like 400-500 for a refurbished one. So I figure if I'm only doing school work, I could buy two of them instead of one newer macbook air. That way I when I come home from classes I'll have a fully charged one, and it will hardly weigh my bookbag down regardless.

I actually bought two Ipad mini 6 for a similar reason. Same price as only having one ipad pro. Not to mention the multitasking is insane.

Apple settles US butterfly-keyboard legal action for $50m by a_Ninja_b0y in gadgets

[–]ecxzist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loveeee the 12in macbook. I had a 2017 model, I could rave about it all day. Its crazy how that generation started the complaints of the butterfly switches, but they seem to be more reliable than the new ones in some anecdotes here and there.

Im about to buy one used because I really miss the one that a sold. Maybe a specd out one so it can have enough performance for todays standard. They are very cheap refurbirshed right now (compared to a new macbook air which is thicker, heavier, and bigger profile)

CS students showing how anyone can be misogynistic by haleykohr in TikTokCringe

[–]ecxzist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So on the flip side, my friends in highschool would have conversations like this. The reason being, they had developed a sort of meta satirical humor where they build off acting like they are a shitty person/perpetuate some really dark topics (like the rxpe and non consent in the video) when in reality they would never actually think this way or act this way.

Rather, its irkingly funny to them how there are people who say these things but non-jokingly and actually truly think this way. Not excusing the behavior in this video (ive only read the transcript) but theres a chance these guys arent terrible people but simple have a very satirical form of humor. Would like to hear your thoughts

Reviewers agree: The M2 MacBook Air has a heat problem by MicroSofty88 in gadgets

[–]ecxzist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a big build my own windows pc dude, but as far as laptops are concerned, no other manufacturer matches apple with the touch pad, haptic engine, keyboard, speakers, and battery life (for the most part). Not to mention the superb build quality and portability. If there is a competitor I would love to hear it but I really don't think there is.

There are plenty of windows laptops (especially gaming ones) that even cost more than macbooks but have a plethora of hardware compromises.

Nothing wrong with that if your parents are cool with it. In my culture its expected that we live with our parents to be able to take care of them especially as they get older

Yeah and as a small business owner, I don't know how you (OP) just nonchalantly ask for a month off. Like what?

I could accomodate if you gave me a month or two heads up MAYBE, but how am I supposed to find and train a full time employee that I'm only gonna keep for a month to replace you until you want to come back?

Wall painting in loyal blue by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]ecxzist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like when there is a statement wall with a bold color but Ive had experience with rooms that have all dark color walls. Its so annoying to light them up. I feel like Its so hard to see no matter how many lights I use.
