This is kind of backwards. Because of the way that education is funded in the US, expensive housing areas end up with good schools because they have the funding. And people live in these expensive areas because they have the means and desir

I have a 2016 launch MBP Touchbar and work in an extremely dusty office, and have had no issues with the keyboard. I also have a light touch when typing. I suspect that the real issue may be typing force or maybe typing force + contaminants

This is the first explanation I've ever heard in 30 years over dozens of physicians/nurses for why a blood draw needs so much sample. And I wonder if young med students/nurses are taught that little fact about squeezing a fi
