emoji posted:My dad made a VBA program like 10 years ago that's directly responsible for optimizing over a billion dollars a year in gasoline blending operations at the refinery he works at taking into account tanks, barges, daily unit performance, market prices of intermediates, etc. Its core depends on Solver. The only programming language he knows is VB6 and he recently called me to ask how to split a string. If he dies suddenly they're hosed and people like Honeywell who are supposed to be the experts in these kinds of things have nothing suitable to replace it AspenTech sells gas blending software for this. Don't talk to Honeywell. They're clowns.

I have to wear ear plugs if I'm going to go underwater while swimming too. Once the moisture builds up it doesn't get out of my ears right and then infection happens. My doctor says like one in five people have this issue to some degree but just deal with the earaches and never go to the doctor. Do the isopropyl alcohol drops help?

Just to clarify, since this poo poo is apparently super loving confusing: (1) Apple does not and should not have to provide warranty repair or replacement for damage caused by a customer. That's not a warranty, that's insurance. (2) Apple cannot and should not be allowed to disclaim the entirety of their warranty if the customer opens or repairs the computer himself. No, this does not mean Apple should have to fix damage caused by the customer in the process of opening or repairing the computer himself. See (1). (3) Apple can legally refuse to provide non-warranty repair service to a customer that damaged their computer in the process of opening or repairing it himself, but it's super lovely and anti-consumer because it encourages a manufacturer monopoly on service.

cinci zoo sniper posted:how a refusal of non-warranty repair is a monopoly on service The policy is designed to punish people who self-repair or use a third party repair service. For example, imagine if GM dealers universally pulled poo poo like saying, "We're not going to fix the suspension damage caused by your accident. We found that the battery in your car was installed by a non-GM authorized service provider."
