Re: If you haven't seen Ted Lasso, do. One of the best in a year. - 3 days ago

QuoteSarcany I disagree. It's not all that much "deeper." Agreed in retrospect, 'a lot' was hyperbole. Edited for clarity. Still, its lessons in how to give an apology and receive an apology hit home for us, especially given the current climate. But point taken.

Former chairman of the Republican National Committee endorses Biden - 5 days ago

"I'm a lifelong Republican – and I'm still a Republican," said Michael Steele, the former chairman of the RNC. "But this ballot is how we restore the soul of our nation: Electing a good man, Joe Biden, and a trailblazer, Kamala Harris, and ensure an orderly transfer of power, or plunge our country into chaos."

Re: Final GOP takeover of Democratic Party could start soon - 5 days ago

Quotepdq Meh. I think rewarding reasonable Republicans is not bad. Their own/former party certainly won’t. And Biden could still appoint progressives too. I agree. I'm deeply encouraged by the conservatives who are courageous enough to vote against Trump. I would want to encourage their voices and welcome them. I'm more middle progressive, and want to see intelligent conversations and relatio

Re: "Please remove battery life for a thinner, lighter iPhone" - 7 days ago

Good points. I still think there's a market out there for those of us who want 2-3 day battery life, heck even a true one full day of heavy use battery life. I'd like to see what weight and thickness this would require.

"Please remove battery life for a thinner, lighter iPhone" - 7 days ago

... said probably no one ever. The new iPhone 12 series look to have between 2200 mAh and 2800 mAh, a significant drop down from 4000 mAh of the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Would love to be a fly on the wall of the design sessions of the iPhone group, where there's some faction keeps saying, "I don't know... is there anywhere you can trim off more weight and make it juuuust a little bitty thi

Best method for setting up/getting funds to help a family? - 11 days ago

A colleague and MD in Mexico was killed this weekend in an automobile accident, and a couple of us want to set up a fund to help his family. Do any of you MacResourcers have experience in this. I'm mainly looking for a way that doesn't take a lot of % of the total donations and makes it easy to get the funds easily to the family. Thanks for any experiences you may have had or heard about.

Re: iPhone 12 $999 to $1099 - 12 days ago

QuoteGGD BTW: The new iPhone 12 Mini size falls between the size of the 5/5s/SE and the 2020 SE. The metal band around it reminds me a lot of the 5/5s/SE, so size wise it's a better replacement for the original SE than the new SE is (we'll ignore price). I suspect that band is to improve cell and 5G signal. I think it's a great move.

This can't hurt: Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society is a right-wing organization with 60,000 lawyers, law students and scholars that's been characterized as a "conservative pipeline to the Supreme Court" by the Atlantic, with the most recently confirmed judge Brett Kavanaugh joining the group while at Yale.

Part of the answer lies in "cognitive dissonance." If you get a chance, check out a book called "Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me) by Caroll Tavris. It helped me understand this exact bafflement.
