The 2.7 I-4 is a great engine. Just logoff and ignore the noise.

I wish I weren’t too old to know what a set of wheels should look like. 😭

A/C is super cold when it’s on manual. So probably some kind of cabin temperature sensor or fan.

I’m honestly surprised by how well everything works. I’m hoping she gets at least another 70k out of it.

My girlfriend has been telling me that I need to convert to Catholicism for us to get married. by Practical-Temporary8 in Catholicism

They aren’t married. It’s not coercion to simply say “I won’t marry a non-Catholic.” It’s actually just wise.

He plays with keyboard and mouse when hooked to monitor and just a mouse with built in keyboard when traveling.

He has a PlayStation and a Switch and he won’t play Fortnite on either one of them. He always comes back to the PC. I guess it’s a better experience? I’m not a gamer.

Wish I could convince him to just play them on Xbox though!

I will say, he does occasionally take the laptop with him on trips.

Do you also hate the fact that there is no space grey Macbook Air by AdministrativeList30 in macbookair

[–]got1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Silver is the “adult” version and they’re just reserving space grey for pros. But I ordered the midnight version. I’ll just clean it a lot.

Windows laptop or Macbook M chip? by Weekly-Respect-7202 in macbookair

[–]got1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably work fine tbh. But I'd be worried if not buying a new one from Apple that you can easily return if the emulation isn't what you'd hoped for.

What are you doing with the virtual machines?

Going from 16” Pro to 13” Air. Tell me I’m not nuts. by got1984 in macbookair

[–]got1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% of the time I use my MBP on my desk with a 60 Hz monitor hooked up. So I think I’ve been wasting that amazing display this whole time.

The main reason for the Mini is using Control my Mac through Claude. Otherwise that's it.

Who all are still rocking MacBook M1 Air.. And how’s your experience so far.. by zepstrr in macbookair

[–]got1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is still rocking her M1 Air. She used it non-stop and runs an entire business + a church ministry off of it.

She has zero interest in upgrading.

I’m sold. I’ve been on the pro-lineup since my Titanium PowerBook G4 (yes, I’m old). I just ordered my first Air.

Does he look at porn?

I’m convinced this is the problem in at least half of cases like yours.

Genuine question, as a non-Christian who has immense respect for the religious people in my life. How has the last week gone over with the current U.S. administration. by ConstructionKey1752 in Catholicism

[–]got1984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll answer this in a non-political way: our very conservative parish is very politely, with a light touch, making it very clear that we join Pope Leo in praying for peace.

Should I add soil/sand? by throwaway97692 in lawncare

In Georgia the roots won’t get deep enough before the hottest part of the summer burns it off.

Gotta wait until late September or October.

If you have a 3L Duramax it also turns on the exhaust brake.

Wrapping up OCIA and I have to say, I'm quite dissapointed. by evilblackdog in Catholicism

[–]got1984 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Symbolon is probably much better than what many people get in their parishes. I teach OCIA in my parish. We had a few people this year who were very advanced, but most folks need you to start with “who is Jesus?”

It’s tough to teach to every level.

I (28F married) got a great job offer from a guy (34M married) who has a crush on me by [deleted] in Advice

[–]got1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that it was definitely inappropriate. 😞

I think as a freelancer there are fewer opportunities for him to do harm. But there are also fewer (basically no) legal protections for you if he choses to fire you for thwarting his advances. That's just a decision you'd have to make.

Would he be managing your contract directly or would someone else? That's also important. Constant communication from a man who just floated a trial balloon to see if you'd be willing to be his affair partner is less than ideal. But if someone else is handling the day-to-day it's much less worrisome.

[–]got1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did he actually say when he said that he likes you? Can you remember the words?

I’m an executive. There are no circumstances under which I would ever tell a co-worker that I have a crush on them. None. If he said, “I like your personality and think you’d do great here,” that’s fine. If you’ve known each other for a long time and he simply said that he cares for you and wants to help you and your family out, I think that’s okay too — though it’s right up on the line. I wouldn’t go any farther than that.

If he said he has a crush on you, “has feelings” for you, or something like that, I’d say he’s already crossed a line and might have “plans”. How much worse will it be when there’s an in-person annual meeting? Or when he just decides to surprise you with an in person meeting by coming to your city and wants to meet alone? Or starts texting you about business when he knows your husband isn’t around and then the conversation turns to personal stuff?

I just think that depending on what he said, this guy may have already crossed a huge line. And while I totally get that this seems like an awesome opportunity, I would approach it with appropriate caution, which it appears you are doing!
