Re: OT: MacBook Air seems to be working unusually hard
Some websites are just poorly coded too. If they have videos and lots of embeds running its pretty easy to eat up your processor quickly. Chrome often surprises me with how much CPU it uses.

Malformed adverts. I've had web pages with such horrible scripts that they hang the web browser and require a restart. That's the main reason I've employed an ad blocker. I can ignore the ads.

OT: MacBook Air seems to be working unusually hard
Recently—a day or two ago—I noticed that my MacBook Air was emitting a low-pitched hissing sound, as if a fan were running.

Re: PESO: Mandeville Bloom
Thanks, Jack. The red of this flower is indeed quite dark, something I wanted to convey, and something that made other attempts to capture it fail. I purposely included the bud, to show \the two phases of the plant that I like, but I see your point and accept your criticism, which I find quite useful.
