I bring my Macbook to and from work everyday, should I shut it down each time?
- as long as nothing is still spinning.pango
- How do I know if it's spinning?bainbridge
- That's modern slaveryi_was
- Yes!shapesalad
- I always shut mine down when I'm done using it.Continuity
- I carry it around every day and I never shut it down. 20 years. all my macbooks lasted arount 8-10 years. never had a problem...a_aachen
- do you feel the vibration? do you hear the fan? if unsure, shut it down.pango

- Back in the Amiga500 days it was good practice to wait 10 seconds with it off when restarting. I've carried that habit forward and always shut down laptops.shapesalad
- There's something about having the electricity still flowing whilst throwing it around in a backpack that just doesn't sit well with me.shapesalad
- I had one start on fire in my bag but that was a MacBook from like 2007. Wouldn’t worry. But why not shit it down?nb
- re: Amiga500 days - wasn't that just to ensure there was nothing left in RAM to infect the bootloader on whatever disk was put in?Nairn
- I treat it like a phone. Restart if it is behaving wonky, otherwise just close the lid and put in backpack.ESKEMA
- I never turn them off. exception is when I board a plane.
but a work computer at home: shut down, take battery off and wrap it in tinfoil.uan - yes, 100%section_014

Got dressed and left for work today in a bit of a rush, grabbing a pair of crumpled shorts and it was only when I sat down on the bus and looked down at my crotch I remembered that I'd dropped a load of saucy fajita-esque chicken on my lap last night.
I just walked through one of the busier parts of North London with this shit all over my shorts, making me look like some special needs idiot. Doesn't help that my hair is utterly fucking awful (I really am going to a hairdresser this week), and simply adds to image of incapable fuckwit nuttery.
- Thankfully, no one cared about you and your look.babydick
- ha, quite.
I hope you feel better about yourself!Nairn - get your shit together bruv hehehecanoe
- lol @ "fajita-esque". That's the real crime here.garbage
- BeBoozed cooking - we had friends over, and by all accounts it was actually quite nice, esp. considering it was all thrown together at the last minute :)Nairn
- This is fucking hilarious! I've done similar, spilled a huge smoothie on myself (in the car) right before a big meeting.davey_g
- I once went out with my shirt buttoned so one side was higher than the other, and the people on the train weren't smiling and pointing for good reasons :)monospaced
- College: I woke up late, 5 min to class. Mad dash but made it. I started to unzip my hoodie as I walked in, at which point I realized I forgot to put on a shirtgarbage

Someone had one of these WW2 incendiary bombs for sale on their stall at the car boot this morning.
it reminded me how back in the 70's one of these bombs turned up in my dad's second hand furniture shop. Despite what the paper claimed it was me who saw it in a tea chest and told dad who suggested I go round the corner to tell the local newspaper offices and they sent a photographer round straight away and got one of the staff to hold it up. Only afterwards was the bomb then taken away to be blown up, dad just said "anything for publicity" lol
- So your dad a collector of sorts as well? That's pretty rad.garbage
- yea but he had 2nd hand shops from 1972 - 1981, he collected old railway stuff & postcards, I posted some here a while backGardener
- I'm guessing growing up in those shops was a dream.garbage
- He paid me for working there at weekends in records, the stuff that came into the shops mid 70s was mindboggling, then and looking back nowGardener

Took the homie to one of his favorite canyon spots over the weekend because there was supposed to be a windstorm. He seems to enjoy them in the way most dogs stick their heads out of windows.
Well it ended up turning into an actual sandstorm with 50mph winds that broke the zippers on our tent.
It was so gnarly that I had to keep all of my actual camera gear locked up, woke up covered in sand. He and I had a great time, but the gf and her bulldog.. not so much.
I don't think you can embed video here, but three links. One of them is Leo barking at himself as his voice came back to him from the canyon walls.

- @robotinc wta.org is a good place to get an idea of where, and where not to go. Hoh is really fun, and wandering around on the peninsula generally..garbage
- ..same for the Snoqualmie / Mt. Baker region. If you're into anything in-town, there's so much to Discovery Park that's worth seeing.garbage
- At the top of the bluffs near the sandpit you can descend this rainwater-cut desire path that gets you to the beach in minutes. It's a fun little adventure.garbage
- Straight down through the remnants of old treehouse encampments and occasionally current ones. Watch out for the forest bums.garbage

- Man I need a dog in my life. A little furry buddy to poop and pee and be content with a simple life.shapesalad
- Do it! There are plenty of pups out there waiting to be rescued. Leo was a rescue, found beaten and left for dead. Thankfully he ended up in a no-kill shelter.garbage
- I know nothing else about his first 6 months, but I hope whatever scum hurt him has had a horrible life.garbage

I saved 2 pelicans this weekend.
Saturday morning i'm at the beach around 7:am seen a pelican with a broken wing by the water, I was just watching him for a bit while everyone was taking selfies with it, stressing it out, till someones dog started attacking it, so I just ran up to it, grabbed its beak shut, brought it to the lifeguards booth and had him call the animal dudes to pick him up,
Sunday morning, im in the line-up and notice another pelican just past the break, sitting in the water, trying to fly but cant, so I paddle past it and start paddling towards it to move him towards the shore, we get to about waist deep when i grabbed its beak shut and hold him, brought him to the life guard dudes again, but on the way everyone on the beach is just asking for pics with it, I ignored them, but they took their pics once I handed it over to the lifeguards,
these days suck, everyone is more concerned about their fuckin insta's and facebooks that they're just completely oblivious to the fact that they could have done something to fuckin help this god damn bird
- "They gotta get them views."utopian
- Nice job Moldy!utopian

Good job GuyF, you're my kind of people.sea_sea - +1 to you Guy.

Still being semi stalked by an ex I broke up with probably 25 years ago. A few years after we split, she goes on Wheel of Fortune and the first thing she asks for is "B for BusterBoy" - just transplant the B for the first letter of my name etc etc. She repeats this about 4 times during the show using different letters and attaching them to words we always used to use for each other!
Random things over the years...Insta and Facebook posts (yes we're still friends online...not sure why!) - suggestive messages clearly directed at me. And no, Im not imagining this...they are just plainly obvious.
Last week she goes onto Facebook to introduce her 2 new cats...one of them she's named after my first name...the other has the nickname she used to use for me.
It's kind of funny, creepy and sad all at the same time. She knows I've been happily married for over 20 years. And she has a new bloke she's been with for a couple.
All really quite weird.

So one day I arrived home with my 17 month old daughter sleeping in my arms and my partner asks me:
Who's X and what does she want from you with a very serious face.
I was like: what!?
And she trying not to be too loud because of t he little one sleeping and very serious: Who is X and what does she want from you?!
And I swear I didn't have a clue what she was talking about.
So after a slapstick comedy style back and forth in a half silent and gestures way my partner in a very seriously way of jealousy shows me a SMS...
I read it and I was like:Aaaaaah! That's a friend from our housemate/neighbor...
So a housemate of ours asked me if It would be possible for a friend of hers to record from the computer to a tape using my gear and if she could give her friend my phone number.
I said sure, why not.
I'm happy to help and mixtapes are truly a great thing.And our housemate gave her friend my partners phone number instead of mine...
So we cracked...
Yesterday and the day before I arranged everything for her to come by and told my partner that the friend of our housemate is not the pretty one with the dark hair it's another one...
And she was like: Aha! So, so...
The friend came today and we were in my working space where I was explaining to her how the stereo,the mixer and t u e tape deck works.
I realize it's getting l a te to meet my partner and I say goodbye and leave as we were already ready with everything.
As soon as I close my studio's door I face my partner and she was like so?
And I said: I'm done here let's go upstairs.
And she Replied: oh...I was curious to know how the woman looks like.
And I said: well she's really pretty.
My partner: interesting....and laughs.
So the rest of the day we kept making jokes about the woman back and forth pretending being jealous and that I was actually just helping out of interest, everything very healthy.
But as the day passed started to get a guilty ty feeling cause I can't get that woman out of my head but not like in an oh-my-god way but like how an interesting person I found her to be and I ended sending her a message asking if she wants to-go paint together.
And I realized wait this is crazy, what am I doing, she's mid twenties, 20 years y o Unger and I want to keep contact and after all the jokes and so on!?
I started getting depressed thinking my time is soon over and how it is so great to be in our twenties in the present day with all the openness about sexuality and relations, political correct Ness and respect, how's every thing a challenge, how I evolved and kept emancipation myself...and I'm like WTF!?
I have a great privileged life and I'm aware fit, I don't have much and I could be more committed to my work specially t he last t here years but I got it really good and I find out there's certain things that I can't change, like feeling attracted to attractive, emancipated, smart, young, interesting and intelligent mid-twenty/thirty year old women.
I feel I have to talk with my partner about this because I've been avoiding two or three people for months now because I don't feel secure enough to meet them and not be tempted to lose control.
Damn! I just wanted to write a small text about how nice it was to meet someone and find her interesting not in a sexual way at least or now...and continue to peel the potatoes for tomorrow and suddenly it sounds like a mid-life crisis.
No, not signs I'm getting old....
But damn,she was really pretty and simple and interesting.
- And she Replied yes to go pain together...fuck! LOL!oey_oey
- Ah, I wrote this with basically one finger so...oey_oey
- There's so much more to it, to my thoughts and reflexions but I really have to peel these potatoes.oey_oey
