silly 2015 mbp 13" situation today, no force touch (touchpad worked otherwise) and it only turned on intermittently with the touchpad connected... turns out this random capacitor on the bottom of the touchpad daughterboard was visibly burnt, and immediately crumbled into powder when i squished it with pliers. now it boots reliably and force touch is back?? not complaining, lol
wonder what i'd eat every day if my ex hadn't fed me buckwheat in high school. wonderful stuff. cheap, healthy, cooks in 5 minutes in the microwave, tastes good on its own or with soy sauce, random vegetables, peas, nuts or mostly anything else that would be good on rice 😋 i love it

Long thread/3
Expert agencies are often all that stands between us and extreme misadventure, even death. The modern world is full of modern questions, the kinds of questions that require a high degree of expert knowledge to answer, but also the kinds of questions whose answers you'd better get right.
You're not stupid, nor are you foolish. You could go and learn everything you need to know to evaluate the firmware on your antilock brakes and decide whether to trust them.

why did we invent a new kind of battery that can burst into flames when punctured or bent and then started GLUING it into everything?

surely this will finally lead to mainstream reckoning with western animal industries as unethical and under-regulated, as covid did with the chinese wildlife trade. we aren't just racist and unwilling to introspect. right?
