WTF? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-04/oregon-gas-pump-law-change/9304840
What's so hard about pumping your own fuel, FFS? Oregon is around 8% larger in area than Victoria but with only ⅔ the population we have. I just cannot think of ANY fuel outlet that ISN'T self-service. I have a vague recollection of isolated pump attendants some 35 years ago, I've been driving (legally) for 40 years.

So I bought some of the Old Amsterdam aged gouda to try it out. Nothing new, turns out I’ve been buying that occasionally for about ten years or more.
Nothing new but a beautiful firm, not hard texture and terrific flavour.

Just been looking at 480 GB SSD prices, plenty of them around $220 or less.

The SanDisk 240 GB unit in my old MBP cost me $112 a year ago. That’s not unreasonable.

One thing I did with the old MBP was to load all of my photos onto it since I had the bandwidth at home to do so. Previously I just had Photostream turned on. Now it had all pics in full resolution.

Probably? No. Do it. you'll love the result.

That's correct.

Recommendation: do not place alleged safety razors in close proximity to water taps on basins. I now have an awkward cut it the tip of my right index finger.

Still cheaper than a used 2015 model of the same (or similar) specification.

Thus endeth the temporary replacement of an almost 10-year-old 15-inch MacBook Pro for a 3-year-old MacBook Air that needed its screen replacing.
I've been generally impressed with the way the elderly beast has coped and I must say I'll miss using that delightful keyboard.
