Buying antiseptic is a ripoff. The most effective one is iodine-based, a 15 ml bottle costs $7. Yet for $12, at the same discount pharmacy, I can get what they call the Hospital version (same ingredients, same concentration) in a ½-litre bottle. But I’ll never personally use that much. I did have about 2 litres flushed through the wound caused by an elbow infection several years ago, though.
@streakmachine Plumbing I don't mind, per se. Paying almost $400 to fix a leaking pipe behind a brick wall annoys the heck out of me.
@matigo The bullshit started again, 75 more snapshots created. The only way to delete them is with Terminal, one at a time. But you can stop them from being created, by switching off Automatic Backups in Time Machine Preferences, so I've done that as well as the Terminal deletion.
If I want to back up to an external drive, I just do it manually.
@matigo It's been an hour since I deleted those snapshots, no more have been created since. At one point they were being spat out every 65 seconds on average.
Crazy. MacBook Air had created 78 local snapshots today alone as of 21:28 tonight. Far too many. I used Terminal to delete them one at a time, leaving only the two latest ones. In the 17 minutes since then, no more have been made.
Allegedly, had I left them alone, all of today's accumulated snapshots would have been consolidated into a single one for the day & used file space of about 5 GB returned to the system at the start of the new day.
Allegedly. We shall see.

$372.15 later, my leaking water pipe is fixed.
It is 38 years old & was paper-thin at the failure point.
He did say he was a plumber, not a bricklayer. I'll fix the rest in a couple of weeks when the mortar (which he ran out of) has set.
Just reading up on @doctorlinguist's TenFourFoxBox single-site browser app for PPC Macs. This aspect sounds nicely secure.
"You may be dealing with sites that you want to be completely separated from your main browser so that there is no chance information can leak from one to the other. Even though TenFourFox runs them both, the foxbox is in “its own private hell,” so to speak, and unless you say otherwise private data in a foxbox is always cleared when you quit."
