I put my lighter and guitar picks there. I sometimes put my ring in there, too. And flash disks, memory cards… Wow, I just realized I use that section for real.

Where I live, in a formal situation, woman is expected to give hand first for handshake. Otherwise you don’t.

I use acronium. Really basic app with daily notes section and many other things. Good thing about it is that I use it both on my pc and my phone and it syncs very well. Finding stuff is easy too.

Kind of. Latest releases aren’t supported officially but you can safely install Monterey (10.12) with OCLP. No data & performance loss.

You are very right. It only gets the job done but that’s about it. Seeing new Macbooks going on for hours and hours, it’s impressive.

And good thing about 2012 and early models is that you can upgrade parts. Maybe find a 4GB model for cheaper and upgrade it.

Lastly it gives me about 4 hours of battery life, doing school work (presentations, documents). If I use PhotoShop, it lasts 2 hours and I call it a day.

I recently got a second hand mid 2012 Macbook Pro for roughly 150 USD. I live in a third world country and I would call that a good deal. It has 8GB ram, 250GB SSD. 3rd gen Intel CPU but gets the job done.

I use PhotoShop very much, besides school work. You can maybe find something similar on eBay.

God… I am sorry you gone through all that. And, it’s very brave of you to explain your life, difficulties, different situations and your perspective. Thank you. You really gave me an insight, I mean it.

While reading this, I thought about my perspective to life. I am in my early twenties and try to do different stuff to earn my life, pursue some kind of satisfaction. This makes me get tired every day, and consider killing myself constantly. Now, I don’t.

This summer I’ve gone through an emptiness, moneylessness. I agree, without money, I think about what to eat in the most economical way. That leads to more depression. Then every night I tried to find a purpose to not to kill myself and with this comment, it’s done. I accept a perspective to life now.

Seeing all successful people, whether successful since born (nice family, good looking, no major illness…) or by later (breaking the chain of poverty, being the best at one stuff…) people damn kill themselves or be in a depression either thisbor that way. This fucking possibility stays there.

Seeing this situation, I accept the life on it’s own. That’s it. Born, study, socialize, work, get lost. Again, with your comment, I rationalized my perspective. I am, really, now happy with who I am and know how to make it be that way. Do my business, and fuck it. There’ll be no miracles, there’s no one to help you be happier.

Thank you. I wonder how can I prove it but you really helped me. I needed some rationalization.

I love this style!

“even” you say. I live in a not small but not that kind of a big country and you get out of the coastal cities and you end up in whole another culture. I don’t know the exact reasons but where sea exists, I feel home. 150-200 kilometers outside is completely different. I guess in my country, where people originally came from has to do with this topic. Coastal areas generally has people from Europe, other areas from Eastern countries, etc.

Very surreal and peaceful! What wouldn’t I give right now just to stroll for five minutes there…

I agree with you. Also, those numbers just exist and some can just ignore them and some can’t/won’t. So it is up to user to give it a meaning.

Shame on you for not thanking to the person who answered…

Thanks! It is a great hobby. You can think of it as tattooing to a wood. And you know what, it is fairly cheap hobby. You only need a pyrography machine and some woods. It can be any kind of wood, plywood, mdf, you name it. The good thing is, it doesn’t need any ink, oil, water… extra stuff. A pen and a wood and you are good.
