All-new Artie the Atari comic strips for the next two weeks! (Note: "new" not to be confused with "original" or "funny") http://atariage.com/forums/blog/118/entry-15667-haters-gonna-hate/

Waiting for the NyQuil to kick in. You'd think something that tastes that terrible would work better.

Home sick with a cold. Time to break out the universal cure: tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.

The closest metaphor I could think of for what I'm working on right now is: Trying to hammer a nail using a chainsaw. Yeah... you can probably do it, but it really isn't necessary, and it's just going to end up being a big mess.

Today was a good day: the vending machine accidentally gave me two bags of Fritos, and James Gunn has been reinstated as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

No matter how many times they keep reminding me, for some reason I keep forgetting to "Like" and "Subscribe" every single YouTube video I happen to watch. Either I'm getting forgetful in my old age, or I just don't like being annoyed.

Most of the items in the vending machine at work are $1.25. But you can't actually put 25¢ into it, because the vending machine doesn't take change. Only bills and debit cards. If you put in two $1 bills, it will give you change that you can't use in it. And if you put a $5 bill in it, it gives you back dollar coins, which you also can't use in it. I didn't know Apple was making vending machines.

I use my Apple Watch for vending machine purchases, so I don't have to go into my pockets like an animal.
Using a $20 bill in the metro farecard machine to add $1 in credit and getting back 19 golden Sacagawea dollar coins as change is one of the great pleasures of life.
Also, my body outputs lots of things that I wouldn't want to put into it. What's the problem?

I'm beginning to understand all of the Apple hatred that's out there... my new Mac Mini is effectively DOA. It won't stop kernel panicking, despite doing multiple clean-reinstalls of the OS (multiple, because it would fail to complete some of them). It could be the third-party RAM I installed, but the alternative was paying an extra $300 in Apple RAM Extortion Fees™. So now I get the joy of opening the thing back up, and reinstalling the stock 8GB.

Carlsson - I still have to put the stock ones back in. If the Mac itself is bad, it will crash right away. If the third-party RAM was bad, it will run fine. The problem is, the RAM is non-trivial to replace, and the oddball Torx bit I need is at work. I don't feel like going in to get it during my weekend off.
MrMaddog - I've replaced RAM in hundreds of Macs over 30 years. It's part of my job. That's why this is so frustrating.
-
Two possibilities: the RAM is bad (possible) or it's not the rated speed (also possible). The Mac Mini is expecting DDR4-2666, not the slower and more common DDR4-2400. If you got exactly the right spec I'd just get the seller to swap it out. I always buy on Amazon from Amazon direct for stuff like this, because it's super easy to have them ship you replacements immediately if you're a Prime member.

My new Mac Mini left Hong Kong at 8:26 PM, 2/11/19, and arrived in Anchorage, Alaska at 3:25 PM, 2/11/19 – five hours earlier. At this rate it will get here yesterday!

I don't think I could care less about the Super Bowl... but I don't care enough to actually find out.

I shouldn't have mocked Apple in my status update the other day... just a few hours after I did, my iMac died. I'm flattered they apparently read my profile feed... but that's just mean-spirited.

Dear Apple: If it will help you make a new Mac Pro, I'll happily send you a bag of screws. https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/28/2013-mac-pro-postponed-us-screw-shortage/

We don't *right now*. But neither did China before Apple started partnering with the manufacturers there to ramp up production scale.
Notice that the US manufacturer was able to produce at scale before, they just reduced production, staff, and retooled because all USA manufacturers left for China. If they come back, why couldn't they do it again?
It will take an investment, but not different than the original investment put into China.

Really enjoying Horizon Chase World Tour on iOS! Great reinterpretation of Out Run and other classic racers.

Well, that's the last time I'm ever using PrimeTime airport shuttles. Five minutes after they were supposed to pick me up to leave for the airport, they called me and canceled my ride. No backup driver, no offer to find an alternative, nothing. Had to call a cab to get a last minute ride. Not a great way to start a vacation, but at least I did make my flight.

Best Apple product launch ever! Still no Mac Pro though...

If 3D printing had been around when I was a kid... I probably would be dead by now from all of the fumes.

I'd like to believe that the reason the DMV is so horrible to deal with is that they have a terribly difficult, complicated job to do, and it's not because they're incompetent and/or they hate people. I'd like to believe that anyway...

I've could've written the same article in just three words: "Because it's pizza." https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/06/health/pizza-addictive-food-drayer/index.html

Number of players left on the Mariners' roster whose names I recognize: three. Projected win total for 2019: also three.

You can never have too much bacon. Unless it kills you. But then you have bragging rights because "death by bacon" sounds way cooler than most other ways to go.
