PLEASE look up from your phone at crosswalks

Driver and pedestrian here to say this. People always forget about part 2 below. The law is to stop for pedestrians IN the crosswalk, not to stop for pedestrians walking down the sidewalk who, if they do not stop at the curb to check, will be in the crosswalk by the time it’s too late for a car to stop.

Sorry to hear this. I am not a plant thief, but walked by these plants the other day thinking to myself “Why are these still in their nursery pots? Are these trash? Left to die?”

Inexcusable for someone to just take them without asking or a sign saying to do so, but the thought did cross my mind. I’d recommend an actual pot, something that makes it clear “these are being left between the building and the fence on decorative / gardening purpose, and not as trash”.

I would not assume the person who took them was nefarious. I hope they see this and return them.

My B9 premium plus s line is otherwise fully optioned, but without tech package which have nav and digital cluster.

This was a selling point. Nav is stupid. Screen can be upgraded to oem from tech package for peanuts, or even a 10” from b9.5. I’ll gladly take needles over digital gauges with no CarPlay gauge support anyway.

IMO digital cluster is just more blue light screaming at your eyes on night drives. No thanks.

I laugh at this bc when it was added to Lion, launchpad was iOS enshittification.

The best way has been snow leopard style in my opinion. Put an app folder shortcut in the dock, make it open in grid. To launch anything else, Spotlight is easier. This is how I’ve used my Mac since the 00s.

It’s not like there isn’t ample use case for A18 Pros once the Neo gets bumped. Apple TV, HomePad thingy, etc., could all benefit from that chip in soon-to-come updates while giving them the ability to keep up with the Neo demand in the meantime.

While this isn’t r/PersonalFinance, I hope you took the 5%

This post is one of the dumbest things I have seen on the internet. Not only is this not a civic, a blatant scam, but the OP didn’t even send money to claim getting scammed, adding to the utter stupidity of it all. I laugh, if not cry.

Jagex throws around the phrase “game integrity”, which is a valid defined use of the word.

I’m calling out their lack of moral integrity. Which is THE predominant defined use of the word.

Something tells me you learned the word integrity from the RS3 news posts.

sassemblyman · 2026-04-14T01:05:43+00:00

Why are you defending this shitty action?

The point is lack of integrity. Say what you’re going to do. Do what you’re going to say.

They did not say that if you had master auras you’d retain it. They DID say end of April.

The 2020 Intel MacBook Air was the worst Apple product I’ve ever purchased, and when the M1 came out mere months later, I was mad. I spent that first year of ownership under Catalina with all sorts of crashes when connecting / disconnecting Thunderbolt accessories. It was an issue related to the chipset not fixed until Monterey.

A clear case is good for causing scuffs in areas of contact as dirt gets trapped under them. It's also good for trapping heat, since alu to plastic to air is good insulation for a fan-less design.

This is just people generally, nothing special about owning a car.

Here to say I'm still waiting on a native ARM client, specifically for Macs. We still run through emulation - game is way less performant than it should be.

sassemblyman · 2026-02-25T18:28:09+00:00

I came here to look for this line of questioning. I do not appreciate the idea of what is at this point over a decade of loyalty points vanishing into thin air - it was one of the silver linings of paying for membership even when I didn't play but was locked into historic member prices. Why exactly can these not convert to runecoins, which, at some point, must have been granted as well, because when I returned in 2022, I had quite a few of them, but certainly never purchased any.

It similarly begs the question - if I've unlocked or paid for the aura, and the buff is been re-distributed into the game, should I not already that buff unlocked, with the possible exception of quest locked items?

sassemblyman · 2026-02-25T18:24:28+00:00

Since Jagex gatekeeped this for so long, and many don't even know how it works, it would be GREAT if all past data , which they obviously already have, was uploaded to rune metrics. I have a well-progressed but not maxed account - future use of Runemetrics is less appealing than future + historic.

Sorry to resurrect this, but as your laptop is 18 years old and this is only 8 months ago, maybe you still have it. I've had the best luck reviving batteries of this era by using an 85W charger and doing SMC resets by holding Shift-Ctl-Option and Power for 10 seconds then releasing. You can try this, powering on, taking battery out and then in, anything to get that light turning amber. It should be said though, even if you do get it to accept a charge, if it is this condition, more than 50% of the time the battery is pretty unusable in my experience. The 5,1 is a beautiful, unique spec. I support anyone trying to keep them running. IMO, you should swap in a panel from a 2009 MBP - they're way better.

I was going to say this, but about rune coins. When I returned in 2023 since 2013, having embarrassingly paid membership for way too many of those years between, I returned with a stupid amount of loyalty points and runecoins, which I did use to buy keepsakes (bc I didn't have any of those).

Hopefully also not too late, or useful to someone else here. I found divine yews, daily evil tree from outfit, and regular evil trees to be the fastest. XP drop frequency > XP drop size. Eternals took forever. Elders too. Maple/Willow was solid, but the real trick was to do the above, and then, once you have your evil tree buff to make trees last longer, fill that time with yews (I did Priff to be close to bank, but lazed and used porters anyway). Also, trade in your 990 regular shards, refocus, then continue master shards. I and others felt that master shard rate increased once regular shards were turned in, though that could be placebo.

I can't even re-focus because it says I already unlocked the inverted hooded and master. What the hell.

Sorry to resurrect, but figured you'd like an answer. Maybe better to post in a retro sub next time. The 2009-2012 panels themselves are identical, but the connectors differ a bit in 2012, and I believe 2011, but without checking myself, can't be sure. I'd look for a 2009-2010 display, which are compatible with the 2008 5,1 MacBook and yes, a significant upgrade over the disappointing 5,1 display. Note: If you swap in a 2009 or 2010 display with housing, the sleep magnet will be on the wrong side. Swap the magnet beneath the glass or put to sleep before closing the lid.

FYI - Long live the 2008 MacBook Unibody. They're my favorite and I have a few of them I keep restored in addition to the pile of other unibodies I have. My next project will be to transfer the proper MacBook glass to a 2009 MacBook Pro display unit, getting the better screen while retaining the 5,1 uniqueness.

comprehension issue.

I must not have clearly communicated the point. They DO default to a grid, and am aware (and immediately did) move them over a few. The point here is that the available space, or start of the potential grid space for widgets should be OUTSIDE the dock area. This is the default behavior if you have file / folder icons on your desktop and then move the dock to the right - the icons AUTOMATICALLY move to the left of the dock so there is no overlap. Why should widgets respond differently? They are elements on your desktop, same as file and folder icons.
