UPDATE: After about the 12th attempt to restore or update or make fucking ANYTHING happen, the phone finally did a full iOS clean install. NOW it’s loading up my backed up data... let’s hope everything’s intact and wait til 10.0.0.2 before going through this shit show again...

Mine might actually be bricked. It’s not recognizing my backup/restore point and crashes repeatedly during that process. I’ve run out of carrots. I’ve run out of extra lives. No more one-up’s for me. Looking grim.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit, and I used to row on the Mississippi daily in Minneapolis where we thought that was a dirty river.

Brace for mining-related lunar warming.

This, exactly.
