What are some ways to make my MacBook m5 pro operate like windows?

Love the performance of the MacBook m5 pro. The silicone chips can’t be beat. But curious to little
Changes or apps you guys use to make it operate and feel like windows simplicity?

One thing I cannot stand with my MacBook is when trying to minimize a Google Chrome window for example it shrinks that open application to the left and shows my desktop but then when I go to click my desktop it opens that chrome window right back up. Little things like that drive me crazy. With windows I minimize a window and it shrink to the bottom and there’s my home desktop I can click whatever I want on it.

I know I have more to learn how to operate MacBook and IOS but curious if y’all got any recommendations?

Infected fingers my entire accutane journey

I had infected fingers from Accutane as a known side effect, although not common. My fingers are sensitive to the touch, and unfortunately the pus is not surface level, so I cannot just squeeze it out. It sits beneath the skin and swells up and is hypersensitive and painful when pressed on.

I have another 2 to 3 months left of treatment and really happy with the results. I use this for my back for folliculitis as I do not have acne. But man, I cannot wait to not have any more finger infections that do not go away. Simple things like gripping a towel to dry yourself out of the shower can be deadly painful when pressed against the fingertip.

Has anyone else experience this as well? The infections are bad for 6-8 weeks then die down 90% then come right back a week or so later

Afternoon dive is forreal. No need for afternoon swim

I’m not a copy fragrance guy at all but afternoon dive is the forreal deal compared to afternoon swim. After 20 minutes it’s exactly 1:1 with way better performance and only $90 for 100ml. Again not a copy guy at all but this is a gold mine if anyone was looking into it. Pure 🔥

My simple collection. No need for 30+ fragrances

I don’t know how some of y’all have 30+ fragrances. You’ll never be able to wear them in your entire life span. All you need is a starting 5-6 that’s it. I got Myself Absolu for date nights. Imagination…the goat no need to say anything more. Myself EDP for an all around freshie along with Y EDP. Then Vibrato the mass appealing nuke it is. All of these fragrances perform and project outside of maybe myself EDP.

I’ve got Byredo bal d’afrique EDP on the way and then that’s it. My starting 6. I got one fragrance for any occasion I need. These will last me easily 5 years. Please please stop spending thousands of dollars and building shelves for something you’ll never use 🙏

Much prefer Bal d’afrique EDP rather than the darker absolu

I must be one of the very few people who prefer the Bal d’afrique EDP rather than the Absolu. The EDP is a much softer everyday freshy and the Absolu is a darker more date night. Especially living in FL I feel the EDP makes much more sense in a warm weather climate.

Game of Spades All in 👍

Game of Spades all in which is a copy of city of stars is surprisingly beautiful. I am a 33 year old male and I like city of stars but I cannot justify the price point for the lack of performance just like afternoon swim. For imagination I can because it projects and performs for 8+ hours.

So after TikTok searching everyone said game of spades all in was a 93% match and lasts longer. I would have to agree. It smells so similar to tom ford soliel blanc EDP with the sunscreen vibe.

I don’t own any copies of the originals as I prefer to buy the OG from discounters but I must say this is a copy I would 100% purchase again. The bottle is heavy and feels great. For $70 you cannot beat it honestly and it’s a parfum. If anyone was on the fence about it, pull the trigger and get it

Got a Vibrato from Venba I think is weak

I ordered a decant of vibrato from naveah and it’s nuclear I love it. So I ordered a full size bottle from venba because they had it in stock. I still have my decant and when I spray the full bottle from venba and the decant, the decant is much stronger. Same smell but much stronger.

Has anyone ran into this? I feel like venba sent me a weak bottle or maybe a really old bottle I don’t know

YSL myself Absolu

I’ve had about 5-6 different women over my place in the last 6 months and I’ve asked every single one of them to rate my collection from worst to best. Every single one has rated YSL Myself Absolu as #1 every time. It’s by far the best myself out of the lineup.

I got love for the myself EDP but Lafayette street to me is a way better version of it.

They all rated Meteore as the least every single time as well. Sold that a few weeks back. Will rock imagination instead. Imagination is my favorite fragrance I own with absolu being 2nd.

But fellas, the ladies have personally told me to my face the absolu makes them FERAL. Get the absolu trust 🙏

How do brand new fragrances go on discounters?

Im just curious how brand new fragrances go on discounter websites for 30% off when they just released 3-4 months ago? Like how does that work?

For example: when YSL Myself Absolu came out I got it on Arvella 3 months later for $50 less than retail. I always understood the grey market was old fragrances that they stocked up from too much production meaning the fragrance is discounted yes but it’s 3-4 years old minimum by the time you get it from a discounter.

Can I get small cosmetic work done without carfax report?

My local car wash damaged this tiny piece of my 2026 Camry car bumper. I went to Toyota collision and they said it’s $455 in FL to replace that little piece and then paint it to match the factory paint. That cracked piece is just a separate piece of the bumper, it’s not connected as one to the entire bumper meaning only that little piece has to be replaced. The car wash is doing the right thing and offering to pay for my damage. My question is:

If I take this to Toyota collision for the work, will they report this on the carfax so when I go to trade out of it in a year or so my trade in value will be struck due to minor damage report?

Is there a way to go to any shop to get this fixed without reporting to a carfax? Insurance is not involved just paying cash.

Google has given me mixed results saying repairs under $500 typically won’t get reported on a carfax.

Thoughts?

City of stars discontinued

Was just in an LV store smelling city of stars and I asked the rep if it was being reformulated because I saw a Reddit post mentioning that in June it would be. He said no it’s being discontinued all together. Anyone else got any word on this? I thought I saw a few posts mentioning a reformulation in the summer

My ortho is a good dude and I like him and he’s got a good reputation in the area. I’ve been in braces since December 18th. I don’t have a complicate case as I’ve had braces back in high school (never wore my retainer so teeth shifted a little over time as I’m now 33).

I asked him why he hasn’t put brackets on my very last teeth on top and more specifically the 2nd to last tooth on my top right row because it’s kind of titled sideways (there’s a bracket on it but he doesn’t connect the wire to it as pictured) I need to place an implant before my 2nd to last tooth right there in that area. He said that putting brackets in those last teeth would compromise the rest of my teeth and I’m paraphrasing but essentially he was saying it has a high chance to mess up the alignment of the rest of my teeth and he won’t risk that to straighten my top last molars so they don’t cause issues for “cleaning reasons” it’s not worth the risk. Those back molars on the top are angled a little weird to the tooth before it so it makes flossing and keeping the gum line clean difficult. Does this sound right to anyone in the dental or ortho field?

If he’s not going to bracket my last molar on the top whatever, but the one tooth before the last molar on the top row that is tilted sideways I would want that corrected so it doesn’t cause any issues with the implant I am going to place before that tooth. I don’t want another tooth that is angled next to a straight tooth (the implant to be) and then be difficult to floss in that area. I paid him 6k upfront for treatment including retainers when finished.
