I purchased a battery (just a battery) for my 2013 MBP. It was a pain to replace, but I replaced it with the help of an iFixIt guide. I believe it's that kind of guide people expected Apple to publish. So you may be right that it'

Looking at my own coding experience, I certainly favor 0 over 1. When I examine why, I can't help but see my aversion to & distaste of Visual Basic as a driver. VB is the only 1-indexed language I have used. VB is bad. Therefore 1

I've read in multiple places how most meth in the USA today is Mexican cartel meth. The bans on pseudoephedrine have succeeded in stopping home-brew meth. So not sure how valid that map is anymore.

Athens, GA was an amazing town to live in. Amazing live music scene. Great food. And big enough to have neighborhoods for the undergrads that you could avoid. Living ~1hr from ATL was also a luxury - you fly direct everywhere on Delta.

> confident there's no risk of being laid off Companies are ruthless, but that's a straw man. Risk is not all or nothing. The company I work for is profitable. That fact alone lets me sleep at night.

> reform the market so it's a level playing field for everyone regardless of what you know You want to take away the power of knowledge? Good luck in human society. (Honestly, on its face, this is an incredibly naive take.)

I wonder if you two are talking past each other a little. I'm thinking that A/B testing for content is a different beast than A/B testing for experience.

I can't tell you how many times I've been on a call w/ a room full of people & a PolyCom system... and then the Zoom meeting is hosted on some asshole's laptop mic. It's hard to do the right thing sometimes.

I think I know what you are saying, but I think you're misusing the war on drugs as a rhetorical device. I think you're just talking about treating the symptoms of addicts rather than looking at the causes. The phrase "war on

Not sure if you're joking, but he's suggesting that if bulk pseudoephedrine were still available, cartel meth wouldn't have 99% of the market like it does today. Because yeah, your neighborhood dealer would make his own meth

Turf fields are more than "fancy". They allow unlimited traffic, as opposed to grass which gets a low, set number of hours-of-use. At my old high school, only the varsity football team got to use the stadium. Then they put turf in

I understand that take, but, in the parlance of our time, you're hating the player and not the game. It might very well be a "both" situation rather than an either/or. But focusing on/scapegoating this manager'
