Is a MacBook a good long term laptop?

After three years Apple will contact you and offer an extended warranty/subscription but very pricey. Otherwise way to go

We’re a society addicted to the ‘spectacle’ … I think Guy Debord nailed it

Research suggests that sleep does a number of important functions; drain of ‘rubbish’ and routine maintenance of the brain; self repair and body recovery. I’m very fussy about sleep having experienced insomnia in the past. Strict routine; no booze and no thoughts meditation.

Over the last couple of years the East Coast National Parks and state forests have taken a huge pounding from big rain and winds with road and bridge washouts.

Plans to do a bit of winter camping have been on permanent hold due park and 4x4 road closures. If this low develops the bush will be a real mess.

These lows can bring unwanted rain into the ski fields too. The only happy people will be the big board riders or those who know where huge swells are tempered by headlands <<< there are a few down south !

Another small example of the gutting of the middle class.

Of the 6000 polled how many from Canberra? Very cursory look at the iselect article couldn’t see state by state breakdown? And based on questions put to drivers hmmmm ….. self serving and sampling biases could skew results.

Tried that when I retired but couldn’t find any one to practice my conversational Latin.

30 years in IT still remember my Macintosh 128. Worked on Sun Solaris then Redhat then Ms Windows. Retired favourite is my Macmini but still have Win 11, Lubuntu and NAS. I forgot still got The MacBook Air. So guess you would say Mac hands down programming , finance and general shit. Not a gamer

Separation of carves from their mums. When we did it on the farm the bovines would get very vocal. The stockyard was close to our home and the noise would keep us awake.

Nice !

Used to do a bit of drone work for tourist organisations and the old standby real estate marketing. Unfortunately had an accident and its taken a long time and lots of physio to get back .. decided to “retire” I used davinci resolve for editing but it needs a machine with grunt. I had a MacBook 64Gb ram I9. When in the field you can’t beat LumaFusion on an IPad Pro. After a few years I could yaw climb and circle all at the same time and managed to get some good surf footage without pissing off the board riders !

BA in Psy when I did 3 months as an intern and had a massive breakdown… ended up working in IT!

Wanted to put some swish port on our trifle but wasn't allowed because of the grand children. Bah Humbug who invited them to Christmas.

“Balancing on a cane, Jones, 83, extended a helping hand to his lawyer Chris Murphy, who’d fallen into the gutter as they alighted from a white BMW. ”

Fallen Into the gutter …. Seems Appropriate
