Cool, supermarkets in #NewZealand 🇳🇿 offer a quiet hour for people with special needs. 👏🏼🤫

A sign in a supermarket: "Enjoy a Quiet Hour, Quiet Hour aims to help our customers with sensory needs and their families. It's a time to shop that is easy on the eyes and ears by reducing noise, lighting and other distractions in-store. [...] Every Wednesay 2:30pm - 3:30pm"

I was today years old when I learned that at gas stations there are (bigger) nozzles for trucks _and_ regular nozzles for cars ⛽ And that you spill Diesel all over car and hands if you try to take gas with a truck nozzle despite having a regular gas tank/cap. 🧼💦🧼💦🧼💦 🤦‍♂️

Cool, almost every big supermarket in #NewZealand 🇳🇿 has a pick-a-fruit basket at the entrance where children can get a free shot of vitamins. 🍎🍌🍏

🤞Reminder for my future-me: You'll always need an #ESTA 🇺🇸, even if you're just having a lay-over in SFO 🛬 🛫 and then fly on to New Zealand 🇳🇿. Save yourself the unpleasantness of applying the night before the flight and hoping the "3 days" processing time are actually 3 hours. 🤦‍♂️

But it's not only that: One of the speaker's membrane is torn and sounds terrible. And the left shift-key is sticky and does not come back up after pressing it. As I said, it's time to get a new primary device and to use the old one for a yet-to-be-defined experimental project 🔧 🤓

It worked before (reliable) and since a while shows this message in about one of ten Pixelmator startups. Mostly when other applications are hogging system resources and the MacBook is under heavy load.

Cannot start #Pixelmator 🤨 Seems my Early 2015 #MacBook Pro will die soon 😭 It was a loyal companion over all this years and I think I can count the days _not_ using it on one hand. 👨‍💻 Time to jump into the silicon era and get a 14" MacBook Pro. 💸💸💸 Space Black ⚫ or Silver ⚪ ? 🤔

A macOS error messagebox displaying "Pixelmator cannot run without access to the graphics processor."
