Fanboys who will buy anything Apple… that is what “strength of the brand” /means/

I’m imagining what happens is they organize a giant search party to look for you (this is not the good kind of giant party) Eventually they find your corpse and put it in a refrigerator for a long time while your relatives argue with the police about whether you were kidnapped and murdered. Somebody pays for all this, maybe the tax payers, maybe your relatives, I don’t know. Then after all that you finally get to have your expensive funeral but on top of being sad, everybody is frustrated.

I’m thinking, better all around if you just don’t die quite yet because that shit is just awkward.

Gluck auf!

The 4-part series on how fusion works was surprisingly great

I was thinking more like a split into North Illinois and South Illinois. I think we’d have to see South Illinois standing on its own before any mergers with Iowa or Indiana are on the table. Wisconsin or Michigan… I do not see that happening, no.

Yes and for the same reason — they are both French words for groups of people.

Except two states called Illinois is different from two people from the Illini tribe and sometimes plural Quebecois is Quebeckers so I wouldn’t place any solid bets on sanity in naming when we get our 2nd Illinois

A complaint is a statement that there is a problem.

There really are a lot of people who think it’s in general wrong/unpleasant/to be avoided, to say anything negative ever. Only positive, mood-building statements are socially acceptable. This seems to be a regional thing and quite controversial; look up “toxic positivity”.

From your description it could be your friend is in that camp but I doubt it; sounds to me more like your friend might mean something anywhere along the line from, “you say no to activities when I want you to say yes” through “I’m surprised how often you’re tired” to “you seem tired more often than is healthy; something is wrong”

My MIL declared bankruptcy and after that she was awash in credit card ads. What you say makes sense but it doesn’t square with what I saw.

Du kriegst den Reißverschluss Ziehe nicht mehr vorbei, um es zu öffnen? Beim Öffnen eher hilft den Spannung, meine ich. Es kann ein ziemlich großer Druck erfordern. Zieh nicht auf den hängenden Ziehgriffe, da es bei harter Zog ziemlich quer zieht, sondern drucken mit Fingern beidseits auf den Reißverschlusszieh drucken.

Du kannst hier echt hart drucken. Auch gleichzeitig auf den Stoff ziehen in Gegenrichtung, da es straff bleibt auf allen Seiten.

Wenn Du wirklich hart so druckst und ziehst, kannst Du den Reißverschluss zerfetzen. Hast Du eh nichts verloren weil es sonst sowieso nicht wieder in Ordnung kommt, aber vielleicht sollst Du Dein stärkste Anstrengungen vorbehalten, bis Du weißt, dass Du Dir ein neuen Gepäck rechtzeitig besorgen kannst.

Zieh mal den Reißverschluss wieder offen bis an der Stelle vorbei.

Halt den Gepäck selbst eng zu, so dass der Reißverschluss schlaff wird. Möglichst mit die Knien klemmen, umso Du die beide Hände frei behältst.

Reißverschluss wieder zu an dieser Stelle vorbei ziehen, ganz leise und behutsam.

Danach wird der Reißverschluss ganz normal zu halten. Doch es kann sein das Du an dieser Stelle immer wieder bei den Zumachen derselbe Problem hast.

Presumably part of the draw for living in downtown San Francisco is you don’t need to pay for the upkeep and feeding of a car

It plays fine. I’ve been enjoying it for about 40 of the last 48 hours….

Graphics could be better on my original M1 Macbook Pro, could also be worse.
