Doing some #Apple tech support for sister-in-law.
#Macbook ~2021 would power on, show the Apple logo, chime and then go blank - power off? It is known that its battery was going south, but if it is plugged in to its #USBC char…

the brief disappointment of a mouth-explodingly delicious easy peeler, followed by a tasteless dull easy peeler
solution: eat a third easy peeler

Zojuist samen kennisgemaakt met onze nieuwe huisarts. Vriendelijke jonge vrouw. Onze vorige huisarts vertrok in 2021 uit het gezondheidscentrum, sindsdien alleen tijdelijk en en vervangers gezien. Maar nu lijkt er weer wat opgebouwd te kunnen worden. Dat is fijn, we zijn best "zware" patiënten.

Vorschlag für die Formulierung einer Umfrage: Wollen Sie ganzjährig Pariser Zeit oder Moskauer Zeit?

Professional societies, I beg you, please shorten the name of the Super-Long-Dude's-Name Memorial Prize in Whatever Studies. It's torture trying to include it in my tightly limited cover letter nominating a colleague for another prize with a name that's way too long.

The bigger opportunity lies in foundational structured data representation—and in how hyperlinks can expand what’s possible for data representation, access, management, and interoperability.

Are you ducking kidding me?
I had ONE more thing to do before I wrapped up a dozen different things and I need to read ONE ducking PDF to get the ONE figure I need. And now I'm being DOC-BLOCKED by Adobe. Typical.
(I worked around it, but my disappointment with Adobe is immeasurable and my afternoon is ruined.)
Duck this, Im going home.

Hoe tijden veranderen, zou tegenwoordig compleet onacceptabel zijn. "Tussen 1947 en 1960 kwamen in Nederland 173 piloten om het leven bij een ongeluk met een militair toestel. Vooral de Thunderjet was levensgevaarlijk"
