I'm an Apple hater. I hate its business practice, greed that's way above and beyond the norm, hubris, closed eco-system, terrible OS, dumb/outdated design (but marketed to shit as "intuitive/elegant") on and on I can go, but one thing I can't fairly hate is its hardware build and material.

I don't see much wrong (other than "not optimal") with the heat sink/fan distance here. The way the fins are aligned do allow air flow to direct to the fan. Takes a fraction of a second to generate the wind tunnel effect, and all the components between the fan & heatsink just need to be able to withstand the heat, and they surely do.

It's easy to see why they do it. That's "height". Apple want to make the Air as thin as possible, they can't do that by stacking 4 components together.

In an enclosed space like a compact laptop (MacBook Air) you don't need the fan anywhere near the heatsink. Think about a long tube; you can put the fan anywhere in it and the total airflow will be about the same. I'm a bit surprised someone experienced with laptops doesn't know this?

It seems more like he just wanted to rail against Apple products. I've been there, but my rant is usually about the quality control of their hardware.

So you are enjoying the leader of the nation you belong to, the country you live in, the party that you support, the representative of the ideas you support, the idiot that you are fan of, making a bigger disgrace of himself than any POTUS in history? No exPOTUS has ever had a mob storm the Capitol to change the election results.

Or do you have some personal reasons to be happy? That would be a relief and make us all happy if you share.

Because these Karens were not fighting for their rights or their lives. They were just crazy fans seeking revenge for their team losing a game and trying to lynch the referee to change the result.

And again the President sent them. Thus they become pawns in an ego driven attack against democracy. Remember Trump is making money on donations to support this shitshow.


Rudy just spilled my coffee again with his "trial by combat" speech. This is unreal.

What a great story! My ex was a huge fan of the "Hoarders" type tv shows, and I always felt they were incredibly sad, exploitative shows. Entertaining sure, but in the same way as rubbernecking at a bad car accident. I'm really happy this woman was able to channel her hoarding mentality in such a societally beneficial manner. I grew up Catholic so have always had an affinity for the concept of saints - I feel she qualifies as a secular American saint.

I think most of them had been drinking before their big moment. Big fan of the Katydid and the house fly looked like a fighter jet in comparison to all those other bugs.

Obama. Decent? Oh come on! Obama. Decent? No!!! He's exemplary! Exceptional!

Sorry, when it comes to Obama & Michelle, I got no swag and automatically turned into screaming like a fan girl.

So they sat in the test pod for hours while they vacuumed out the air?
I didn't see any hatch on the tube itself... not that they needed a vacuum to get to 100mph... hyperloop such a waste of money.

I'm a big fan of Elon Musk, but this idea is a flop at best, and disaster-waiting-to-happen at worst.
