To be fair Apple is pretty great. Are they the front runner with new crazy features? no. They do however create an extremely well crafted experience and overall echo system. I’m a PC user and been using Android for the majority of my life. The four years I been using an iPhone, instead of my trusty old OnePlus flagship phone.
I even opted to buy an Apple Watch, iPad, Airpods and a Macbook. The Apple watch was my daily driver for a couple of years until I went back to a mechanical watch. The iPad I never really got the hang off, the Macbook replaced the iPad. The seemless integration I get between my phone and macbook, plus Airpods rivals anything else I have ever tested. It just works and that is where the magic lies, it works. That is what is important for the majority of people.
If I wasn’t using an iPhone, I would probably be using a Nothing phone, a more tech enthusiast brand. To be fair when it comes to Android, I find Samsung to be overrated compared to it’s competitors. Don’t get me wrong, Apple has it flaws, especially in the Tim Cook era of the company.
But with Apple, you can always be sure that the majority of apps and services are first and foremost developed for IOS. Compatibility is rarely an issue. The resell value is greater, even if the price tag is the same in the flagship phone marked.
Personally I don’t give to shits about flip phones, I lived through the 90’s and early 2000’s. I care about echo system, day to day ease of use.
This is no knock on Android, but it’s a bit more of a mixed bag in my opinion.
And for that entire time, it has plagued radio stations right alongside all the other seasonal ear sores reserved for that season… despite the fact that it could be played at any time of year, because… well, you know.
Wait wait wait! It could be played anytime of year, but only because any Christmas song can be played any time of year. There are weirdos who blast Christmas songs all year.
I was listening to a conversation between my two bosses this week, and laughed at how it almost exactly sounded like a mission story.
They were talking about how someone keeps stealing juice boxes out of our stock room and they can’t figure out who it is, and they kept going back and forth, oblivious to anyone listening. It finally ended with one saying, “Well, there’s no security cameras in there, so how would we know?”
This is the event for which I will be handling the press office. I’m trying to have the attention of national newspaper and broadcasts (but it’s not simple)
I misread that as artificial intelligence warfare and thought the future was here. To be precise, my reaction was the same as when you wake up and look at the clock to see you need to get up right now and you go “But I thought I had 10 more minutes!”
So, two months ago yesterday, as many of you may remember, my dog Peach passed away, as my wife and I had her put to sleep because of her rapidly failing health. We had already decided that we would adopt another dog at some point, it would just be a matter of when the time felt right. Shortly after Peach passed, my wife discovered a nearby bulldog breeder who is phenomenal at not only breeding and raising puppies, but preparing future owners for everything - and I mean everything - they’ll need to adopt and raise a bulldog puppy.
We applied and got put on the wait list, and were in line for the next expected litter. The current litter born in mid-October, which my wife was following the progress of online to learn how legit the breeder was, contained one puppy who looked like our first dog, Peggy, who was Peach’s predecessor. Knowing we weren’t going to be on the list for the current litter, my wife still got attached to that particular puppy, designated “Willow” for the time because of the tree theme for the litter. She liked to fantasize about being able to adopt her, and I grew pretty fond of her too from the posted photos and videos.
Then something happened: a lot of people who were on the current list decided to pass. A week ago, we made it to number 3 on the list. The first person wanted a male, and there were 2, and the second wanted a male but was open to a female. The social testing videos for the puppies posted and we were concerned that maybe the 2nd person would pass on the other male and pick one of the females, and they might pick “Willow.” The second option we would pick was another female who was a lot like Peach, so we would still have a good pick, but “Willow” was the one we were drawn to. On Sunday, we got word that the 2nd person chose to pass and we got our pick. The money was paid, we put in our choice of name for our new baby, and the pickup occurred two hours ago as I write this.
And so, my friends of the Hitman Forum, allowed me to introduce for the first time:
Adorable! I am currently housing 4 dogs (one full chihuahua, one half chihuahua/half terrier, one half husky/half german shephard, and one full husky). Love dogs!
It was actually just shy of 2 years ago the original argument happened. I know because I was in hosptial with pneumonia at the time. In my room, reading my phone, seeing this utterly glorious argument play out, both sides so adament they were correct. It made me laugh, laugh so hard I started a coughing fit which lasted for 15 solid minutes, to the point I genuinely struggled to breath. And as I grip my chest, choking like hell, for a minute I seriously think I’m about to die because of an argument about “Last Christmas” by Wham!
