    Yep. So full of shit. You’re the one who came into an Apple community talking about how awful apple is.

    What did you expect to happen? I’m honestly curious how you came to the brilliant the conclusion that you would what? Find sympathy here? Solidarity for your plight?

    Good luck out there. Given your take on Apple & Windows, might I suggest Linux? Or is that too shitty for your liking to?



  • So… go somewhere else & bitch about it? Pretty sure most of the folks here ARE apple customers & are not confounded by this “pathetic veil of secrecy”.

    In fact… and I’m goin out on a limb here, I know… I’d wager most people here have actually figured out how use Apple devices. Maybe even for the betterment of their daily lives.

    Now, dry those tears with your Windows licenses & quit your bitchin.




  • So many surprises with a boat… I learned how to drive, launch, & dock on an outboard piss yellow Grady White. Switched to inboard/outboard & relearn it all; it was a completely different steering experience.

    We also watched some idiots blow up their boat because they didn’t maintain it. Fuel leaked, fumes built in the engine cavity, & when the driver went to crank it…. kaboom.

    Luckily the boat was already in the water, drifting back away from the dock, & the driver hadn’t let passengers onboard yet.

    To my knowledge, driver survived, but was badly injured.

    Not sharing this to scare off OP, boats are awesome when you know what you’re doing.




  • And if it’s nature that catches your interest, in addition to walking, you could follow a live stream of some animal you may or may not care about.

    I got into watching an Osprey hatch her eggs on a stream. Didn’t even know about the birds until I started, but the hook set quickly.

    Watched that feed for weeks, checking to see who’s been eating, who’s been pooping, & who’s still sleeping. Pretty satisfying by the time the chicks left the nest.

    At the time, it was video editing. I went to film school & was a post production supervisor for 15 years in LA.

    Having a laptop I could edit on & just knowing how to use Final Cut, gave me a major leg up starting my career.

    I knew more about nonlinear editing than most of the post staff as a production assistant, because Avid made it too cost prohibitive for prosumers & students with their proprietary hardware.

    Then Apple pooped out FCPX & gave Avid/Adobe the market back.

    Still stuck with Apple though, just really fell into the environment & have been able to keep everything moving rather seamlessly.




  • You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.

    You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.

    Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.

    I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.

    One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
