Christianity EtcRe: She Wants Me To Leave Catholic Church Before She Can Marry Me by LeonMacJames(m): 3:59pm On Nov 07, 2021
KoladeChris24:
I have this girl who is the only one I love, but she said she can never attend catholic church.

I told her it's not an issue - that as my wife, she's free to attend any church she likes, but she insisted our family would have to attend the same church.

She won't marry me if i stick to my Catholic faith. Please advise me, she's the only one I love, and I can't start over anymore.
Regardless of your faith. Your children does not deserve a mother that will be so close minded or dare I say bigoted. That you're willing to marry her and allow her stay in her church. Shows that you're willing to compromise for her whereas she can not do the same For you.

Decide what's best for your future children

Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by LeonMacJames(m): 5:23pm On Oct 14, 2021
I'm hearing a soft squeaky sound (like rubbing wood or a noisy door) on the driver side of my Honda Accord 08.
Mostly noticeable when I am going at 20kmh on a straight smooth road, and sometimes in bumpy roads.

Installed brand new suspensions a month back and replaced all the torn bushings on both front tires assembly.
I noticed this sound after a Wheel Alignment and balancing I did last week.

Right now I'm suspecting the engine seating is loose. Cos I do not expect new bushings and suspensions to start becoming noisy this early especially when I only drive an average of 30mins a day.

Is there anyone that has a diagnosis to this problem.

AutosRe: ASK GAZZUZZ by LeonMacJames(m): 5:30am On Sep 15, 2021
Good morning GAZZUZZ.

Some 4weeks ago I was inclined to raise my shocks on the front tires of my FWD Accord 8th gen because the ground clearance was low and potholes and bumps were showing my bumper shege.

Some 2weeks later I started hearing and feeling (on my foot) sharp knocking noises in the front driver side wheel, when I enter potholes and speed bumps. And at occasions I also heard it at the front passenger side.

I took it to my local mechanic at Ladipo, who diagnosed some torn bushings in the engine seater and shocks and wheels Connection to the car chasis. I had all those changes as well as my brake pads to make me enter bumps with less speed. After that riding even on bad roads was smoother than it has ever been.

Fast forward to today.
I started hearing and feeling soft knocking noises in the front driver side but this time not only when I enter potholes and bumps but when I'm turning. I inspected the tire area. And saw that the sand protector had a flap sticking out that is probably touching the tire. I pushed it back in to give more clearance but symptoms persist. I drove home with half mind yesterday.

Even if I don't hear the soft knocks I can feel it.
But I don't notice anything when speeding on a smooth road.

I'd like to hear your thoughts or recommendations before having it checked again. I don't want to have to strangle a mechanic to do good work.

Do note that the car didn't have any such issue when I purchased it, and in early August I changed the CV joint and steering rack as it had worn off and was leaking grease.

Thanks as you respond

ProgrammingRe: Macbook Pro Is Overrated. by LeonMacJames(m): 3:07pm On Sep 06, 2021
Why does it seem like I know you grin
Ovaltine:
Quickly l want to share my experience on my latest baby.
But first, a little introduction about me

I have been coding professionally from 2016 and hobbyist since 2013 with top tech firms. And since 2008 as begineer. Learning continues.

I have used a variety of PCs. My first coding box was an Acer Aspire One mini laptop with 1Gb ram and 128hb HDD. Those good old days.

My hunger for processing power started in 2016 and I used a Work allocated HP probook. It's slow because of HDD and 8Gb ram.

I switched to a 2015 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon in 2017 (World thinnest laptop then) at another workplace. It had i7 vPro and 256 SSD, 16Gb DDR3.
With 16 hours battery life of doing heavy stuff, I didn't use to take the charger home after work.

I got a personal Lenovo T450 in 2018 with 16Gb DDR3 and 512GB SSD, 6 hours double battery (internal and external), i5 2.3GHz and it goes up to 2.9GHz. Pretty a little beast as the 4 cores can maintain turbo boost speed for infinity without throttle.

I dropped my work PC by this time and used my T450 for both work and personal stuff ever since. Pretty simple.

Well a few weeks ago , I got tired of always operating at 95% to 100% on processor full power while I am working. Slow builds, etc

What I do for a living.
I build cross platform mobile apps (iOS and Android). I also do backend, desktop, and create xbox apps as well. All with dotnet and dotnet core (C#).

The most frustrating part of my life is waiting for up to 7 minutes sometimes for a build job to complete.
Building Android package takes forever, etc

I was getting tired day by day and all I was told online is to get a Mac and all my problems will disappear.

I hate macs actually. Not just macs but anything Apple.
Hmm. I always choose Windows PC over Macs at my workplaces over the years and I pick one to shortly use only whenever I need to compile an iOS app.

So I decided to do some research and check up the latest in Apple Mac lineup.

Hmm. I also have a few personal iOS apps to build now so, it made sense to get a Mac.

I went to Apple USA site and saw that M1 has only 16gb Ram. Shai.
I got a good custom order of 2TB, 16GB Ram M1 Pro for 2200 and I was ready to checkout with only 300 on taxes. Its free shipping to my USA address.

Well, I changed my mind the next day due to the limitations I read about. Plus the 16gb ram thing. I felt it wasn't an upgrade from my lenovo even though it was from DDR3 to a high DDR4.

I decided to go for the Intel versions which were far more expensive. About 3600 for my spec. 32Gb Ram and 2TB SSD with 4Gb radion vega pro.

I did this and researched about the VM choices on Mac. I was ready to pay for parallel until I discovered VM ware has a free personal license for Fusion 12 Pro. So I got the license.

So, Las Las, I didnt buy from Apple. I went to Mac store in shoorite, Ikeja and played with that M1. Hm.. I didn't like it. ARM should be left for mobiles please.

I called my iPhone vendor at computer village and told him I needed a Mac with my spec.
The guy previously sold me a brand new iPhone SE 2020 which I used to test an iOS app I built last year.
I dropped the phone in my trolly after the project. My Samsung is just good enough.

I waited an hour and I got my brand new fuckup baby. This one no be machine.
32Gb Ram, 1Tb SSD, 15.4" 4Gb Radeon Vega Pro and 8 cores. The base Core i9 speed is 2.3Ghz as well and can go up to 4.8Ghz.

I upgraded to BigSur and downloaded 60Gb heaven on earth. Basically all my Dev tools. XCode and Visual Studio (not code).

Then I created the VM and installed latest Windows 10. I gave Windows 10 8gb Ram and 3 cores out of my 8.

I cloned a few of my current projects. I configured all Non desktop apps to Mac and left Windows VM only to build Xbox apps and WPF.

I was installing Slack, Any Desk, Docker (plus sql server. I started it ), and a ton of other communication tools I use including Skype.

Well, the Mac began to hang Seriously.
I shut down the VM and the mac hanged completely.

I had to Google how to force shut down on the touch bar from my phone. It was embarrassing as I was actually speaking (presenting) on a Microsoft Teams meeting when the thing hanged and didn't recover.

I no fit cry and I was regretting buying the tool. I think I should have gotten an 8Gb 256Gb M1 for 600k which is significantly cheaper than half of the cost for my purchase.
I could have used a small M1 only for iOS apps and then get a Windows Machine of my spec.

I can bet that Lenovo Xtreme with such spec would never fail me.

I have been using the mac like a little baby ever since the hang. I quickly close anything I do not use.

It's just feels like a piece of pricy crap to me.

Performance :
I can't deny that it's significantly faster than my T450. Hmm. But it's about 12 times the cost as well. Lol.
The processor has used only up to 23% utilisation when I place a reasonable load and I am building.

IO operations on SSD is extremely fast. Like its extreme.

My build time has reduced from 4-7 minutes to 3 to 20 seconds on average for Android ; a speed I never saw on my T450.
For Desktop apps on the vm, I sometimes experience 1 second build. Or Immediately sef. Which was 3-4 minutes on my Windows.

Battery life :
10 hours was advertised for the product.
I think those hours are based on endurance and not while on performance mode.
It hardly spends 4 hours before 3% is left. Due to my stuff, the two fans are mostly on I can feel the hot air blowing out.

Keyboard :
I actually tried avoiding to buy a product with butterfly keyboard. This one has it though.
My fingers have adjusted quickly and I can type as fast without looking at the keyboard. Only a few keys left to get accustomed to with my index finger.

Overall
I don't like the fact that I can't use so many things at one like I used to do on Windows.

So my advice to me: I won't buy the incoming M1X. My next purchase will definitely be Windows.
