@phoneboy I saw three different blurbs all animating OK; all about I am a fish.

@der_jeff Even with the 24 month statutory warranty we get in Oz, that would have run out in August last year.
Dopey cock-sucking morons. Cunt, er Cult-of-Mac have a Mac buyback scheme. Here’s a link to the one for the 15-inch MacBook.

This is not the MacBook Pro. This is the NEVER-RELEASED 15-inch MacBook.
Fuckwits.
For the first time since 2004 with numerous similar Apple laptop chargers, one of the fold-out cable retaining clips failed. They pivot on a tiny plastic nub on each side & one somehow broke off & would fall out if I tried to fold it out.
All fixed now.
First I drilled a tiny 1mm hole in the body & aligned the clip before drilling into it as well. Next I increased the holes to 3mm and eased a red-hot piece of thick wire into the holes. When it was cool enough I cut the wire as close as possible to the charger body and ground it back with 60-grit emery paper on a power sander until no sharp edges protruded.
I then used a bit of 180-grit emery paper to smooth the finish as much as possible.
If you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and need Long-Term Care, but the government says there is no Nursing Home Care available for you.
What do you do? You opt for Medicare Plan G.
The plan gives anyone 70 or older a gun (Part G) and one bullet.
You are now allowed to shoot one worthless politician.
This means you will be sent to prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all the health care you need.
If you have no previous convictions and behave yourself you will probably soon be transferred to an open plan prison where you can come and go as you please.
Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs, sex change, or heart? Need a wheelchair or canes or crutches? They are all covered.
As an added bonus, your children can come and visit you at least as often as they do now!
And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home.
And you will get rid of a useless politician while you are at it.
And now, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any more income taxes!
Is this a great country or what?
Now that you have solved your senior Long-Term Care problem, enjoy the rest of your week.
Loaded up some old dead appliances into the car (rear seats laid flat), taking microwave, tumble dryer & instantaneous hot water system to the metal recyclers.
My back may have come off second-best as a result of the heaving.
When the replacement dryer arrives later today I'll put it in the loungeroom in the interim, that's only two metres from the front door.
I've managed to find a second-hand dealer who'll deliver a used but still excellent tumble dryer for around ½ the cost of a similar new one. Happy with that.
About ½ the mob at Uncle Harry's wake.
Originally a 13.5 MB pic created with the Canon Photostitch app that came with a printer several years ago, I reduced it to ¼ the size with the Pixelmator iOS app.
