Apologies for a very brief reply. Kid is home sick from daycare and I get about 2.5 hours to myself for my half of the work day. Otherwise, things are good.

By any chance do you know how to make subtitles appear as closed captions on VLC on Mojave and later? *says hopefully*

I had forgotten that the email was in plain sight. It’s not computer-readable, so it still keeps the spam bots at bay.

I mean...you booted from it. So it’s bootable. But that is the APFS volume. To get Disk Utility to give you the whole truth, you might have to go to View and select “Show All Devices” and then look at the parent container/disk. That might show bootable.

Sure thing. There are a few rules, mainly be polite and respectful. And no direct advertising, which most people follow. Any questions let me know!

It’s a good job: they pay me very well, the work comes easy to me, and the stress level is usually pretty low. I took a pretty circuitous route here. Was a math and science kid in high school, but really enjoyed art and drafting. Not brave enough to pursue architecture, I chose civil engineering (that’s close,…

Been a long time - hope you and yours are doing well, and that you’re enjoying your time in the States.

I’m thinking about building a 36 hp Beetle for speed weeks next year. With this news my partners in crime may reconsider.
