WTF-Beta

I'd like to hear more from him about political issues, and, his domestic and foreign policy views. In the interim, it is truly refreshing to hear a military man or woman who understands and explains to the public the oath the military takes to the Constitution, and not to a president.

I freaking HATE my iPhone! 16 Pro Max.

Worst device I have ever owned. So intrusive and I have everything "turned off". The keyboard absolutely sucks. Especially compared to my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

I have never had more accidental dials in my life. It constantly acts like I want it to listen to me, transcribing full conversations into a text message and the messages app wasn't even open.

Fuck Apple and Really, Fuck the iPhone.

BTW, I work for an Apple Premiere Partner and Authorized Service Center. I support Apple computers in the business world. They suck.

Ok, you are really giving me second thoughts!

Maybe I should stick with what I want.

I learned a little about five or six brands that make serious phones I hadn't considered last night.

Are you familiar with the magsafe battery packs that stick on the back of a phone? That might be the easiest way to get a longer charge out of any phone.

Describe how you use the keyboard - I haven't noticed any problems with an apple keyboard, but I know my son has an Android and prefers to use a sweeping motion instead of tapping. Apple has a "slide to type" setting but I've never used that.

Yes, I've seen them advertised. I don't know how to describe how I use it. I definitely don't know how to swipe. I'm lucky it I can get my finger to land on the letter,number, or symbol I need. I was thinking about something to do with the different screens that are options and how you change back and forth? You can see I heard about something like this and didn't understand it or I understood what was being said and didn't remember it.

Foreign countries interfering with the governance of other countries?

Say it isn't so.

Disgusting.

I'm thinking about a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Pros: Pixel, XL, and OLED (not AMOLED) screen (Samsung's newest AMOLED screens are too bright and harsh for my eyes).

Cons: Poor battery performance per charge and over time, glitching software issues, multiple failure of Google to fix issues with software updates.

I'm considering switching back to Apple (it's been too long time).

Battery life is very important to me, battery reliability and durability are too.

Google's Pixels have had battery issues generation after generation including the current one.

I decided this should be a deal breaker and then when I decided I want an iMac, it made sense to let it be one.

The equivalent Apple has a strong battery from everything I can tell, and an XL OLED screen with something like 450 pixels.

My one concern is the keyboards. I read they're different than Android and harder to use.

I'd like to hear about Apple phones you have and like or don't, and I'd especially like to hear about the keyboard (of a Apples but a comparison between Apple's and Android's would be great too).

Thanks!

Omg, my first dentist was a room in the back of someone's house. I wasn't very comfortable with it even as a child.

It reminds me of the homestead/ funeral home a few houses down from the house where my dad grew up.

They've had the business for anyone in my family who's died in Dutchess County.

I thought it was a morbid place then and think the same thing now.

It's an intense place! I didn't like living there but I was 26 by that time. I think I could have appreciated more if I had been younger or older.

Interesting!

The Second Empire, FTW! (j/k)

I wouldn't want to see their heating bill.

The red bathroom sink is a crime.

It's all messed up but a lot of the problems with are manmade.

As to New Orleans, of course, it's the terminus port city of the Mississippi River.

People aren't going to abandon it. It's just not going to happen it.

That's a nice picture of the city after the levees were, um, taken out by the storm, um, no, um, well, whatever happened to them.

I had moved about a year before this happened.

I left because of the crime. It had the #1 homicide rate.

Avoiding the flood was a random bonus.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out he has dementia, is a malignant narcissist, and lives in his own fantasy world.

It looks like it will turn out to have been a good investment from the data provided.

Well, it's already flooded once. Katrina wasn't because of the storm. Everything was fine the next morning. Until it wasn't. So, it will flood again? This time they won't be able to save it? People didn't relocate to higher ground since that city was founded by the French. They aren't going to start now.

Well, the election would have to be 100% rigged it he were to do that, and, win. There's no way he's electable.

Will he? I don't know. Yeah, he's a first born son, so it might seem logical, but I don't follow stories about him closely enough to know; I have to hit "stop" if I see his face.

Anyone who underestimates Russia's military capabilities is an idiot.

But I guess we're meant to believe Ukraine is causing a crisis for the continued existence of Russia.

Ok, then.

The sainted Ukraine which massacred 100,000 Poles in 1943.

The absurdity of it all reminds me of Trump's military parade.

Maybe Cold War style military parades are just anachronistic and dumb.

Well, the war isn't winnable. If one defines "a win" (and Trump has dementia; he hasn't defined "a win") then whatever "win" equals, it doesn't equal anything militarily realistic for the US.

I'd add Trump's doesn't have guts. He is a cognitively impaired con artist who is frightened half out of his mind that he will be assasinated by Iran.

The irony is Iran never planned to assasinate him until he assassinated Iran's head of state.

He isn't going to finish anything. He doesn't even know what he's trying to do let alone how to do it.

Hear, hear!
