Are you me? That sounds eerily similar to my, IIRC, 2008 MBP. I think I did every single one of those replacements except for the wifi daughterboard (certainly SSD, memory, battery, fan replacement, replaced optical drive with an extra SSD, etc). After one fall and crack that loosened a screen connector I had a mini industrial strength clip holding the bottom left corner of the screen together.

Having said that, my current MBP is a 2017 and I have not had a single thing go wrong with it. 7 years in and the battery is still over 80% of capacity. I don't like the Touchbar, but other than that, this thing is about perfect. I do miss tinkering, but I have raspberry pi, arduino, etc., for that now.

*squints*
What planet are you living on? The current generation of Xbox was segmented from the get go, to the point where the raw power of the low end isn't majorly more powerful than their previous console(XBOneX), it just has an SSD and some nifty new tricks. What's more, that low end has publicly caused them problems with at least two game releases that I know of, and who knows how many more in private. Whereas the PS5 Pro isn't going to be powerful enough in the CPU sense to cause issues with game releases, it will just have significantly more ray tracing eye candy and 4k performance.

The demand for the types of racism that aren't excused by the 'anti-racist' crowd far exceeds the supply.

Yep, because completely linear daily casualty reports are sooooo convincing.

You mean a pork barrel project that eventually had outside federal funding stripped, thus halting construction? That project? Thus money not being embezzled, thus not an example of your claim?

The idea that any construction project involving government, especially blue state governments, will be delivered on time and on budget is hilariously retarded.

It's not that things aren't selling, it's that the stuff they like to push doesn't sell. Tradpub was always hit heavy, with the hits generally not being what the pickers thought was 'good literature'. Combine this with 90+% of their highly advertised biographies being either in kind political donations or personal favorite celebs of the higher ups in the publishing companies and it's no wonder that sales are so lopsided.

And that was DEFINITELY a crime.

Of course, the laws are not written to punish the polluters but to absolve the government of having to pay for it.

Ignoring the fact that the violence and unhappy endings was largely sanitized from the Disney version of the fairy tales and thus any original meaning is irrelevant, the point of the stories in both instances was basic shit for children like listen to your parents, don't talk to strangers, don't lie, don't break your word, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, and don't wander off. The other bullshit you spouted is nothing more than humans recognizing patterns where there are none.

Now what's the lead and other heavy metal toxicity like in most of Africa? Or the publicly available learning resources(Not schools, because American schools have steadily declined in quality since the 1970s and in the past decade have gone into a complete nosedive)?

To be fair, there was one good thing about episode 8. Holdo died.

Or the fact that Disney literally has an internal grading system for proposed and ongoing projects based on diversity, which has a tiny disclaimer at the bottom saying you can't actually use any of these things for hiring decisions but we'll give you this sheet anyway and what happens happens.

I would think Chief O'Brien would have known how to handle this situation.

Right, it's not like right up until the 60's that black marriage rates were on par with whites or that the black poverty rate was declining at a steady rate. It's not like the subsidization of failure and single parenthood, combined with the murder of the two black luminaries to be replaced by the worst kinds of con artists, the disparate effect that the drug war had on inner cities(Not because of the racisicisms but because drug deals are a lot easier to pick up on when the area they happen in is significantly smaller per offense. Easier for cops to spy on and track, much less area to hide the contraband in, and less avenues of escape), and the destruction of the American education system caused by the Dept. of Ed and the national teachers union.
