As someone who was denied treatment for my ADHD because I am able to hold a job (diagnosed late in life) I'm curious: why on earth would doctors deny treatment the other way around too? That sounds so illogical.
If I'm intruding too much - just dont reply, I understand.
there is a small flap near the bottom of the machine. Modern machines just a a slit that is minimally wider where you can insert a screwdriver to open it. Sometimes the mechanism is different.
Behind the screws and lids and stuff is a sieve you need to clean. If you see a tube on the side before reaching the sieve, open it firstand let the water run out (careful, can be quite a bit of water) If you have a toploader the cover and sieve is sometimes on top to the side.
You can check your manual if you don't find it or are unsure how to open.
Sometimes socks, jewelry or other stuff gets trapped in there and can not be chemically cleaned away.
Yes you could use vinegar, but please don't. Long term gunks up sieves and small tubes.
Please use citric acid or the aforementioned products (sometimes just called machine cleaner)
That is so good and satisfying to hear.
I'm also currently almost exclusively on Linux. My Spouse has a Fedora powered Notebook with a super fast 8/16 core amd processor and loves it dearly. (Cannot remember the maker, but since the BIOS/setup was huge PITA I wont be buying from them again.) I used to love the simplicity and light-weighted -ness of apples setup, but over the years Linux systems made it far easier to use them as a "digital hub". Turns out I did not enjoy selling my soul to Satan (Oracle Virtualbox) or pay an extra 100 bucks per year (Corel Parallels) just so I could use a few windows only tools I had.
having not heard about any of this, to everyone OOTL as me, have an article.
Two things stood out:
Ho.Lee.Fuck
"I suspect that's a mistery we will not figure out in our lifetimes."
Politicians and policy makers probably.
Just a reminder since this seems relevant: The abuser's Waiting Game includes consistently rescheduling plans.
Hey this was bad, but wait a few weeks and then something really bad happens. You just wait Then all the others around you will finally see.
From someone who's been around for a few years: No this specific bad thing will not happen. No those around you won't see for themselves.
Oh no. Maybe some Incense to cleanse the demons? (⊙_⊙)
Edit: I just remembered I had a similar problem, after changing the battery on my 2015. This thread at macrumors helped me tremendously especially the last entry (did it on three seperate days before it had an effect.) but I'm sure you already tried all of that. Just for the off chance.
these Intel Macs were such a bad experience.
I feel you. I still use an intel macbook with tweaks i cannot remember plus 3rd party utils like Turbo Boost switcher. That experience alone has kept me from upgrading to newer models.
In retrospect my powerbook g4 (Ti) and os 9 was peak computing.
I made a combined IgE/IgG4 test years ago. Had to pay fifty bucks out of pocket, because it is "just a food allergy" Turns out I'm severely allergic to bananas. Fucking bananas, didn't even know this was possible. (On top of beeing allergic to the whole wheat family).
Wish you all the best.
