Episode notes
Rice Myth And A Soaked MacBook
- Paul described his child's MacBook Pro being spilled on and the flood of people replying "rice" in comments.
- He notes AppleCare staff explicitly warned against the rice myth and recommended drying/draining instead.
Don't Use Rice To Dry Electronics

- Instead, drain, turn upside down, and use heat/airflow cautiously to evaporate moisture.
Long Stage Adaptation Of Emma

- He recounts a theater adaptation he worked on that stretched the novel into a three-and-a-half-hour play.
