This will form most of tomorrow’s lunch.
Asian grocery sells them at $2.50 each or 5 for the price of four. So I bought 5. And was charged $9.50.
Got out of the car to go to the bank. Right lens dropped out of my reading glasses. Made using the ATM awkward, squinting with one eye shut.
Next to SpecSavers for repairs. They found a suitable screw to replace the one that fell out, then checked the tension of the others screws, putting a dab of Loctite on each one. Next the nose-pads were replaced & the lenses cleaned in an ultrasonic bath before being dried & returned to me.
Really dislike the way Time Machine on APFS High Sierra Macs hide the size of local snapshots.
I've just done my weekly Time Machine backups to a pair of external hard drives and, as part of the process, those snapshots are migrated to the external drives. This is good, because my free space on a 256 GB SSD has gone from 101 GB to 121 GB.
I have a new use for my landline-replacement VoIP phone line supplied by the FTTN broadband service: I use it to delete the bullshit saved “xxxxxx reached your number at xx am/pm today and did not leave a message” messages from my voicemail.
@jussipekonen In Australia, if you select the highest specifications for a 13” MBP, the price is around $5200. Doing the same for the 15” needs an outlay of $10,300.
Seems like pretty significant differences to me.

New MacBook Pro was being used to display & scroll through (with occasional editing of) a Numbers spreadsheet stored in its iCloud Drive. It wasn’t using much power for that activity: FruitJuice app showed the battery as 76% charged with 13 hours & 32 minutes remaining.
Woot! In about three weeks I’ll have a battery that’ll run one of my G3 Pismo PowerBooks.
It’s coming from the lady who gave me both of them. I’m told it’s good for at least three hours.
I was at a State gathering today for the State-based level of the Men’s Shed organisation, there were several guest speakers present.
The most fascinating one was a gentleman call Professor Peter Hudson, who explained in layman’s terms the limitations of chemo & radiation therapy against cancer. He said that a great many cancers can now be cured with T-cell treatments, part of a new third wave or level of anti-cancer processes, using the immune syetem.
