Your best option is find a barber you like and tipping extremely well. They will remember you. They will squeeze you in. They will remember the cut you like. If they move shops, they will take you with them.

And I mean by tipping well, if the cut is $20, go in preparing to spend $30-$40.

The worst part is the Nokia/Microsoft partnership was just ahead of its time. Windows 8 was incredibly forward thinking but because touchscreen on PCs, it wasn’t a real thing.

In 2023, Apple still refuses to unify MacOS and iPadOS despite having IDENTICAL hardware.

I honestly think dual booting could be the best solution.

Apple has been growing lately, but historically it has been 1/3 Samsung, 1/4 Apple, and the rest is mostly Chinese.

But the ecosystem lock is way less significant because WhatsApp dominates there as well as Spotify…etc. In the US, there is literally the “green bubble” stigma. And things will probably only tilt away from Apple in Europe because the EU opening up the App Store.

Yeah a lot of people at the gym use it because you can drink quickly from it with squeezing it too hard and making a mess.

It wasn’t the quality. It was they were marketed as “a flagship phone with mid-range prices” like Google initially did the Pixel and Nexus. Both would were heavily consumer driven and cut expensive features the target consumers didn’t care about. And both pretty quickly they went to “flagship for slightly cheaper flagship prices” and “slightly nicer midrange for slightly above mid range prices”.

So the value proposition was kinda lost because instead of the giving a flagship with consumers what they wanted and bloat cut out, they just make straight flagships and mid ranges like everyone else. Your OnePlus target user wanted the top of the line processor, a big mid range screen, a physical fingerprint reader, a 3.5mm jacks, expandable storage, and a good enough camera.

I don’t need an always on display, an under screen finger print reader, and a Hasselbad camera. Why about the T series? Fair enough. But the issue is that OnePlus announces the T series like 9 months after the Pro series.

I don’t think this is entirely OnePlus fault. All these Chinese companies are openly in a dick measuring contest with Apple, Samsung, and each other trying to make “The best” because embarrassing Apple..etc is more important than making a good product while forgetting Apple doesn’t think about you AT ALL. We’ve pretty much settled on Apple owning US, Samsung mostly capturing Europe, and China controlling their own market and developing countries.

Business laptops are like Business class plane tickets or Marriot hotels. only exist because some corporate black hole is paying for it where $1000 vs. $200 is a rounding error.

Very similar to Rosa Parks.

The only real way to overturn an unconstitutional law is to have someone be prosecuted under it.

Fucking cook and season your vegetables.

Side Effects.

Most cancer treatment falls in the basket of “Kill the cancer before it kills the patient”.

The aftertaste is unbearable.

Make it taste like a salt bomb. You shouldn’t be able to fuck it up

The UK, Where the Great Fire of London was caused because the mayor didn’t have the balls to order the demolition of buildings already on fire to prevent the spread?

Watermelon burgers are good too

If iPad sales increase, it is probably because Apple is ending support for the iPod Touch which was used by a TON of companies for mobile PoS, inventory management/bar code scanners…etc.

Companies could use really reliable Apple hardware and use their own software rather than being forced to use 3rd party software and linking it in to their own internal system which many companies didn’t allow. If you used their hardware, you HAD to use their software.

No, Schools had to buy them during COVID because they HAD to provide every kid a laptop for at-home-learning. Now every school has a Chromebook for every kid. Chromebooks in theory don’t really go “obsolete” quickly barring major changes to ChromeOS. So now IT departments just have to deal with churn for replacements, but they aren’t going to buy new. They are going to ship their broken units out and get refurbished units back in a cycle.

There is are exceptions. If you receive Federal funding, you have to follow federal rules. Like I couldn’t have a college that ONLY accepted people of a certain faith and wanted to accept Federal student loans.

Which is why pineapple makes an excellent marinade.

It is worth mentioning, integrated car system do this ALL THE TIME. My dads Toyota literally puts the SOS button next to the interior light button.

I mean that is why stem cells are a huge focus of research. The body in theory has the instruction and ,in theory, the material.

I imagine these are on-the-job deaths.

I’d LOVE to see just the deadliest profession overall regardless of how they died.

My mother hates sports and she was glued to the TV.

Don’t get any idea Roger Goddell.

Objectively the best place in the United States

Should have just taken some lobbyists out for dinner

Could you hypothetically engineer a virus that just injects the undamaged/unaltered DNA of a person back into infected cells?

I mean if if a harmful virus can inject itself in your cells DNA, could we just create virus with “normal” DNA that just boots it out? I mean this could even apply to other genetic diseases. Put a person on massive amounts of immunosuppressants and let the “helpful” virus go to town.

I mean the whole issue here is if an alien species is so advanced to develop warp drives, certainly masking it wouldn’t be an issue.

That has always been my beef is UFOs…etc. You’re telling me life forms that are so advanced that they can intergalactically travel in a space craft the size of a small aircraft, but they can’t develop a better method of surveillance or stealth than flying around noticeably in airspace.

I mean it would pretty much be the same criteria as being an astronaut or working in Antartica. You’d probably need a large percentage of the engineering team that built it to be passengers because if something goes wrong, they aren’t going to be able to get tech support.
