    "Hi I'm Vee!" I have a 2015 MacBook Pro so I have never had an issue driving 3 displays. I just put 1 on the HDMI port and the other on mini displayport.

    Apple didn't implement MST (multi stream transport) support in their display drivers for some reason. Dell suggests connecting 2 monitors like this: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000124312/dell-thunderbolt-dock-wd19tb-and-apple-usb-c-hosts?lang=en

    Do you think this problem can be solved by just using two dongles instead of one, as @Honk suggested on the first page of this [chat]? I already have one that connects to a single monitor, if anything it would be cheaper for me to just buy a second one exactly like that and hook it up.

    yes

    two dongles, or one thunderbolt dock will do the trick.

    I drove two 34" ultrawide monitors off of one macbook pro - the single port has a 40GB/s bandwidth, you just need an actual thunderbolt 3 hub on the other side of it to get multiple displays to be driven from that single port.

    https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/owc-thunderbolt-dock

    this, with two usb-c to displayport or hdmi cables, and you would only need to plug one thing into your laptop to both charge it and drive both displays.

    Okay, I'm just going to get a second dongle, then, because I'm only using 2 of my 4 TB3 inputs atm.

    Deviled eggs only take a couple times to dial in. When you make the filling it is better to ease in the mayo and mustard powder and taste, since you can always add more but adding more yolk is hard unless you have extra eggs.

    I highly recommend curried deviled eggs. Gives it a good kick. Freaks out your stuffy traditionalist relatives.

    crumbled bacon and Worcestershire sauce

  • spool32spool32 Contrary Library Registered User regular
    here is my devilled egg recipe, in spoilers because it's long.
    you will need:
    Some bacon, this is for crumbling so you don't want like thick cut artisanal blah blah just get some bacon.
    Salt
    white pepper
    Worcestershire sauce
    mayo
    French's neon yellow mustard
    at least 12 eggs.

    Now the holy grail is to find some that are already boiled and shelled, this turns the recipe from an arduous project lasting a day to some shit you throw together and look like a food magician.

    So hard boil and then shell and peel at least 12 but preferably 18 eggs or even more.
    Split them in half and boop the yolk into a bowl. Set the egg boat aside.

    Make 3-4 bacons per dozen eggs, until they are smashable not floppy, but also not burned of course. One bacon per 3 eggs I suppose.

    Smash them bacons in a smasher of whatever sort, mortar & pestle, boxing, however you want. You want non-uniform bits but all smaller than fingernail size.

    Into the bowl add like 2 teaspoon of w sauce and the bacon and a half tsp of the white pepper.

    Squeeze at least a tablespoon of mustard and 2 of mayo in there. Mash all that up with a fork. Taste it until it seems right. Then stuff it into the eggs and eat!

    How do you get to "tastes right?" The flavor levers you have are:

    Not salty enough? more salt.
    Not umami enough? More w sauce.
    No tang? More mustard (but this is danger vinegar territory with the W sauce)
    Too lumpy? More mayo.
    Too smooth? More eggs, unfortunately. You have created a problem.
    Not bacon enough? Moar bacon (but this will add salt)
    No bite at all? More pepper.

    B texts A, ‘this is extremely uncool, it would be very disrespectful to forward a picture to me of someone’s genitals. Why are you flirting with C, anyway? You live with your fiancé’

    A texts B, ‘no I wasn’t being inappropriate with him, it was all one sided!!’
