    It's strange how much I depend on the fan of my MacBook as an alarm. A loud fan means an infinite loop (often on some web page). Software problems making your computer hot is uncomfortably close to old sci-fi movies in which consoles explode when things go wrong.

        There is only that much benevolent a mac designer could be to an end user. An infinite loop might be a valid use case for some web pages??

        I think the age for legal work should drop for kids who demonstrate they want to work. Like maybe we can have a way they can demonstrate it is their own free will. I needed work at 13.

        I should be able to clean toilets at a cafe for $1 hour. I should be able to make whatever wages I’ll accept. If I’m great at cleaning toilets, I should be able to move up the ladder to more opportunities and more $. https://twitter.com/EricaMighetto/status/1234217752971268097 …

        And in the other hand it’s amazing how iPad can handle that much stress with actually no fan. I always thinks that kind of make the point for ARM chips? —I guess
