Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

All things in moderation my dear....

Unless you are prone to kidney stones... then never even look directly at it.

The pain is so horrific you vomit.. I don't know how to quantify the unbearable nature of it... I've been dead three times and kidney stones are worse

Then there's overpaying for what you think is a quality product when in fact it's cheap.

My favorite part of Mavericks was when the snooty *** art teacher who demanded a Mac based lab went and updated from Maverick to Capitan and suddenly none of her software was compatible and all her students lost permissions on their own files.

THAT was a good time.

You are pretty much just paying for the suicide nets.

Moderation is subjective.

1 can of soda a day may be too much for one person, but to another, 3 cans of soda a day may be just right.

Why would you post something so gruesome?

I know a guy who drank 3-4 cans of Mt Dew a day. He "gave it up" and switched to diet Mt Dew, and now drinks, I ***you not, a CUBE a day. (24 pack)

One of the things I had planned on when eventually having some boards produced is to either select a Chinese company that has decent ethics, or just use an American company, depending on the prince point I very well may just do the latter.

But it's still up in the air, and you still have to deal with the parts being made in China, there's really no way around it.

I was being a doddering and patronizing old ***....

I've been to hell and if you're (the royal you're, not you personally) intent on seeing it for yourself I shall see you off with a stiff smile and a tip of my top hat to you...

So, you are back to normal now?

I think I will pass on any/all kidney stones, thanks.

Some people are like a disturbing cross between a billy goat and a garbage disposal... /pauses looks around the room for spicy

he's never around when you need him....

anywhooo. they can eat broken glass and aluminum cans and moldy food and gallons of jet fuel and never suffer a moment....

I saw one kid drink a single can and get a heart murmur....

I'm comparing my current laptop to windows machines I've owned in the past. Within a year I had to replace them due to battery issues, constant blue screens of death (the equivalent I have not seen on this machine) and compatibility issues. The laptop I use at work is a piece of junk and can't run more than one program without slowing down to a crawl. That's not great when my lesson involves using Powerpoint, a Youtube video, microsoft word and an online component like Padlet or Kahoot. More often than not, I've had to have a lesson stop because I had computer issues, and typically those come with a hard reset.

My mac works exactly how I want it to all the time. I finally got an iPhone and within the last two weeks, it's worked exponentially better than any Android piece of junk I've ever owned. Unless there's some critical error that occurs within the next, oh... 5 years with this thing, I'm going to stick with macs until I die. Oh yeah, I also have Applecare on it too, so there's that.

Then stop buying junk? The OS is meaningless.

For what it's worth, try to keep in mind that some people simply have different computing needs and Macs, for better or worse, fill that need in the easiest way possible, if not always the cheapest.

I just hate Apple the company and their army of fanbois.

I've done just that by refusing to purchase windows machines.

Then why rag on me about it all the time?

Its dumb to care what someone else buys. As long as they aren't hurting you and are happy that's all that matters! EVERYONE HUG GODDAMNIT

Because this is the internet and it can only be won through a false sense of superiority that your choices are the best choices.

I would have + but then you had to go and add that hug part, I just can't.

I +'D IT FOR YA, SPACEMAN!

You'd hug Taytay.

I don't know about hug, but I'll + her!

I actually think everyone should try a Mac at some point *if they can afford it* and *if they know it can do what they need it to*.

It is a different beast, and you might like it better.

Plus being able to navigate both Mac OS and Windows could come in handy.

same tbh
