lol. good luck, man.

maybe you and your colleagues shouldn’t be writing code…?

you have chosen a valid solution to the problem. congratulations.

I’m no engineer, but 33 feet does not seem like a deep enough hole to be pushing a bunch of radioactive debris into. seems shortsighted…

100%.

but $ for cpu+ram of old MacBooks makes it feasible. They are dirt cheap on ebay, and I don’t need the screen.

My bedrock server runs on a 2012mbpro. I take daily backups and have another mbp laying around when this one fails completely. The expanding battery warped the shell pretty bad, but it’s still functional.

agreed.

either way remove the battery.

make sure to remove the battery if you use the MacBook as a server. the battery blows up like a balloon… I’m assuming because the server install doesn’t/can’t manage the battery properly. I’ve had this happen twice.

I was so bummed when I upgraded to the m3pro. asahi on my m2pro was BA. can’t wait for more supported devices!

This was a valid tactic, if not accidental.

during WW2 Germans and Japanese both said that you could not rely on US soldiers to do things by the book (or the way they had been trained) and had a harder time predicting behavior and movement of smaller groups of troops.

I was coming here to say the SAME THING!

fun fact: one of the primary reasons the NRA was started was because of how poorly both sides shot during the civil war.

hah

I will never understand the move from forums to discord. when discord is the only way to get assistance, I go find another product.

I had to look this up right away! thought you were messin with me… ;p

both protest and protestant come from the same root word. and, I would agree that they do “mean” the same thing… to declare publicly or testify.

the -ant ending just makes it “person who declares publicly”

yes. luckily my viper ultimate is very old and starting to act weird.

any recommendations for alternatives? I need the mouse to be plug-in and wireless, so I can move between my office and field setup.

the date on the order is 2/31/2026… 🤦

right? it is literally the definition of libel…

I’ve been looking at a new phone myself, and also came to the pixel + graphene solution after doing some research. Best bang for your buck, performance-wise vs any phone capable of alternate OS (even if it is android based).

The easier explanation is that they had to distill a 200 page novel down to 120 minutes of film and convince people to give them money to make it so they could make those people more money… the irony is thick.

conspiracy theories are fun though!
