I’m torn on whether or not it’s a a good thing that to look at me, you wouldn’t know if I’d slept well or had precious little sleep because… oh, I don’t know… let’s say the dog was barking his fool head off at nothing discernible into the wee hours.
I have an old iMac from a friend that had a dead harddrive that I was able to replace pretty cheaply and has worked fine ever since, though it's topped out at an old OS.
I got another iMac from a neighbour suspecting it may be a harddrive issue as well, which could be an easy fix.
BUT, with both of these stopping at much older OS's that don't get updates any longer and won't run more modern programs, the question came up today...
@reay yeah it was causing all the other devices to get logged out (hard lockout for weeks -- Apple support told him he had to wait it out), unable to use purchased software, etc
I’m just trying to figure out a workaround for having another Mac that works flawlessly — it’s outlasted a number of Windows laptops we’ve had — but which has of course been designed to be obsolete years ago. I don’t think that first one that was brought back to life with a new harddrive will even run Garage Band, as crazy as that sounds.
Really good computers are still WAY less useful when they can’t run certain remotely recent software.
On the one hand, I don’t get the boycott of Loblaws because groceries being so expensive is a much wider problem than with just Loblaws alone.
On the other hand, for Loblaws to say they’re trying to keep prices down for customers and blame shipping and other issues of their control holds zero water when they netted profits of nearly $500 million this quarter.
You CANNOT be trying to keep prices down while also being a publicly traded company with happy shareholders. Pick a lane, Loblaws.
On that note, are NGO grocery stores a thing? You’d think it would be a no-brainer to get food to people for not a cent more than the food cost to get and stock.
That would also push the organization to use more local options to keep prices as low as possible instead of, say, shipping in pineapples all year.
I THINK I know where this chunk of Triptych by Karin Slaughter is going with this seeming huge detour from the main storyline.
Hoping I’m wrong, because if I’m right, it’s way not my thing.
Especially with a dog now, I'm finding people leaving dog poop bags (or uncollected dog poop) left around on sidewalks and lawns -- yes, some people take the time to bag their dog poop and then still just leave the knotted bag on the stranger's lawn -- even more maddening.
If you have a dog, you pick up its poop and ditch it in a public garbage in a park or carry that tiny weight back to throw it out at your own place. That's Owning A Dog 101.
Can't do even that little? Then don't have a dog.
I will never not be confused by this kind of nonsense.

With my bit of knowledge, with some time and effort, I could probably do this, and I'm very new to this stuff.
But even me? For NO pay?
Kick rocks.
