Have to agree with some comments here about the 14 inch MacBook Pro - it’s a lovely machine. I switched a couple of years ago after decades on Windows (I’m a software developer) and couldn’t be happier.

I seem to remember that you can use more monitors with the Pro than the Air, etc, so it’s definitely worth doing some research when choosing. Do you have an Apple Store nearby?

Marriage wasn’t important to me, either - I was with my now husband for many years before we tied the knot. I’d never been one for the traditional big wedding, wasn’t sure what difference it would make, etc.

What changed? My Mum died - and in all the times at hospital and then dealing with the funeral etc - I realised just how important being “next of kin” actually is. In so many ways. And while you can cover most of your bases with various legal documents - honestly there’s already a super easy way, that is very well understood all over the world, that achieves this.

And while I wasn’t expecting it to feel any different afterwards, it really did - for both of us. More certainty and just really solid.

I’ve really enjoyed my time on Lemmy - I left Reddit after the third party API fiasco. Having said that, Lemmy’s still super quiet sometimes, but I feel my voice is more heard by the people who are here.

Bold of you to think you’re getting another election

Because we’re heading back to the Victorian era in terms of inequality. At that time we were the pre-eminent world power and yet we had masses of people living in abject poverty.

I like your style.

This guy just needs to let this go! He’s wasting his life on this. Even if he finds it in the next decade - honestly I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Upvote for Tremors which has to be the best awful movie I’ve ever seen. Like, so bad it wraps around and becomes great.

Non-American here. This actually goes a long way in helping me to avoid US-centric news and content for the next 4 years. So, there’s that.

Whoa! No that’s not what I got at all! And if you click into what looks like a still image you’re suddenly in a feed of videos. Who knows what their UX is doing.

 

Don’t all rush … over 120kg of cocaine packages have washed up on NSW (Australia) beaches over the last few days.

Members of the public keep finding 39kg packages and I can’t help thinking “surely they’d have packed them rounded up to 40kg” … and wondering where the missing 1kg is …

 

You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …
