See a professional. Had it, up to here, with my MacBook, upgrading, installing, pissing around and getting no where. And so I took it down to the Mac Guy in Nelson, professional, who ran all the patches and roved through the settings and got it to where it should be. And my TinyMCE is working and I now have 1 computer to rule them all...
$30.00 is what it cost me. How many hours of hair pulling? Well, precious little left anyways.
Now to back up, purge the HP Scream and I can get on with my life. Bloody hell.

They say it's the questions you ask, not the answers that you have, that determine intelligence.
I kinda agree with that. Facebook's new "Meta" AI - well, see the photo below:
Clearly not asking the right questions. All this hysteria over AI, it's only for the stupid. Sorry, stupid, you're out of work.
It's not that a computer (or AI) took your job, it's just that you're stupid.

I've watched quite a few of the videos, in the UK, where they recover all manner of interesting historic stuff, like antique swords and armour, and then in the US where they usually find dodgy used firearms and knives and shopping carts, scooters and bikes.
It's a sport with a high trash-low treasure ratio.
Which I'm kinda drawn to it but have so far resisted. While I know there's spots on the old ferry landing in Ainsworth that would yield treasures, I'm also annoyed by the things it wouldn't get - silver, gold, old glass patent medicine bottles, etc, etc.
But this might just change my thinking...
Subliminal Quit Smoking Videos...

And, always on the lookout for a cheap and painless cure for, well, any number of things, I've started listening to "Subliminally Stop Smoking" videos on YouTube. Specifically the one that's 10 hours long and with rain in the foreground.
It's just the sound of rain, and so I listen to it when I nap or doze off to sleep at night.
And it's a queer effect, at some point in it I begin to hear these disconcerting tones, feel out of myself, not myself, other, and ...
Well, too early to say if it's doing something, anything, but at least we're working in the right direction.
