Wtf, I can’t ever imagine pooping anywhere that’s not a toilet. I wouldn’t even go on a dirty toilet when I was younger, I got through secondary school (12-16) without taking a dump in the school toilets as they were disgusting.
100%, doesn’t make it any less off putting. Guy could have a learning difficulty or disability. My daughters learning disabled and have to say I’ve got more tolerance and empathy for people I would have thought were weird before.
I also confess I ran out of ketchup for my eggs earlier and used brown sauce. Not as good but better than nothing. Also totally agree with earlier posts re ketchup and eggs but not with steak, ketchup and steak is heresy.
I think it’s just a numbers thing. Everybody I’ve ever known has a story about some nutjob, whether it was military or workplace, jail or any other group of X many people, somebody is going to do something strange and shameless with their poop.
My thinking is as follows: An omelet is like an “egg taco” of sorts. Tacos need salsa and/or guac. So, a sauce is entirely appropriate in this situation. I do however, completely agree that putting ketchup on steak is an abomination equal to that of cooking it until well done. My dad is a beef farmer. I grew up on nothing but beef, so I like to think of myself as an expert in this area.
Funny enough, my Mother-in-law grew up on an Iowa farm…and ONLY eats her meat well done with ketchup, haha. When my wife and I started dating and I gave her a rare steak, it blew her mind. She had NO idea you could eat it without ketchup!
Semi-related, but I just got a meat grinder attachment for my Mrs’ kitchenaid (which she is graciously letting me use) and I’m fairly certain my world has changed.
I confess that having used the snowblower to clear the driveway after a blizzard I feel like I cheated myself out of some quality manual labor, but, using the snowblower brings me more joy than it has any right to.
I confess I’m getting into stuff that’s almost “woo woo” if you consider shit like this woo woo.
Started using products with cat pheromones to stop 2 fuckers from fighting and they FUCKING WORKED. Like magic.
I also confess I’m now looking for a certified cat behaviourist that can help me out while communicating through something like zoom since there aren’t any LEGIT ones where i live if only for the fact that 99% of people would laugh at you if you told them you actually got certified.
These type of classes never suited me. I couldn’t pay attention in most classes after 30 minutes, unless the teacher was spectacular, then I could pay attention for an hour.
Towards the latter half of my college career, I just stopped going to long classes with boring teachers and spent that time learning the subject on my own. I did fine with that approach.
That’s absolutely the problem. I could not stay mentally locked in to one class that long. Like you, it was tough to stay mentally locked in after about half an hour in any class.
I had an hour long project management class that I would spend almost the entire time working on the homework for during the lecture. It allowed me to get way ahead in the class to the point I was able to stop going until finals. Classes were just a lot different than high school. I never learned how to study in high school, which really hurt me in college. High school should really try harder to emulate a college style if they truly want to prepare students for college.
For some reason when I clicked on this thread, it brought me back up to this post. I know I commented something about preferring Macs over PC’s but must not have really noticed that you mentioned a battery issue.
Just a helpful tip: if you do care to do so, https://www.ifixit.com is a very helpful website. You can order a new battery yourself, and by using your model #, serial #, or some other identifying information, can be sure you’re getting the correct one. They have step-by-step instructions for replacing them, although replacing Mac batteries is usually extremely simple. Only downside is a certain type of screwdriver is needed, which you may not have. (But iFixIt sells them!) If anything, I’m not sure what school you go to but I bet if you took your laptop and a new battery into the tech center there, someone would have the tools to do it for you. My school offers basic things like that as a “free” service. (It’s probably part of what all our mysterious “fees” each semester go towards.)
Anyway, just wanted to point out that you could probably do this for pretty cheap and avoid a trip to the repair store.
Weirdly, there’s a Mac-specific repair shop within walking distance from me that people will go out of their way to visit from other parts of the country. I wouldn’t mind supporting them, and I would be in good hands.
But your suggestion appeals to my inner cheapskate – this is less than half the price which the store quoted via phone. My only fear is that I mess it up and have to fork out cash for a whole new computer, as my model is not easily repairable according to this site, and the guide is rated as “difficult.” The comments are encouraging though.
I’m fairly confident that my university’s tech bar has been very low-key since COVID, but that’s not a bad idea either.
Been tinkering with computers for more than 10 years now. Desktop PCs, sure, I’ll crack that open and figure it out, but with laptops? Hell no. Thing is, with desktops, if one part is broken, you can just replace that part. With a laptop? Not so much. If something goes wrong with the DIY for the laptop, you also have to factor in the stress, time, and extra cash you’re gonna have to put in to get it fixed. Just my 2c
