You forgot the biggest negative of the iPhone: It’s an absolutely abysmal phone. My employer insists on using iPhones. The call quality is always crap, and they drop calls constantly. A phone call between 2 iPhones is usually worse than 2 cans and a string.

I agree entirely with you. I’m on an iPhone for the first time and it is just terrible. The keyboard is horrific. Default behaviors are bizarre. Apps seem to crash far more than they did on my Pixel.

I’m sure I am; I know iDevices are loved by many folk - I’m just floored by a number of things that I came to rely on with my last phone (Pixel 2 XL) that the iPhone really struggles with, like:

Semi-related;

Ummm, would I look bad if I said that shithead deserves it all, breakfast, lunch and dinner? Not only for his crimes but also because he helped make honest Nigerians struggle harder to seek work or business abroad because of this major AH and the others, like this other guy who just pleaded guilty in Chicago IIRC.

Semantics. A country obviously can expel people, citizens or no, if they choose. Whether that is technically “deportation” is of little meaning, at least to the person being ejected.

Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I’m just a Caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills or whatever, and I’m frightened by your strange “flying…

In this specific case no. Even without a treaty a country can still just deport you if they want. So the US could have just asked them to deport him, then they picked him up. Only reason hiding out in a country with no extradition treaty  ever works, is because they tend to want to stick the finger at the country…

Whoever made that dramatic video from the Dubai Police should be charged with a crime for thinking it was a good idea to make the entire video look like the opening credits for a mockbuster knockoff of The Matrix.

It sounds like the UAE said “you are a thief, we don’t want you in our country, we are putting you on a plane, don’t come back”. And the FBI said “since you are putting him on a plane, mind if we buy the ticket?”

Well, if he were a US Amercian, Trump would have promoted him as his next economic advisor.

Who cares? Besides, don’t they have capital punishment for something like that in UAE? The F deserves everything coming his way.

But a few companies produce it the old fashioned way, by soaking a jute twine backing in linseed oil and allowing it to oxidize and become solid, applying natural products like sawdust as surface decoration along the way.

I wonder how linoleum fits in as a bio plastic? The vast majority of what people call linoleum is in fact made of PVC and is referred to in the industry as sheet vinyl. But a few companies produce it the old fashioned way, by soaking a jute twine backing in linseed oil and allowing it to oxidize and become solid,…

If only their efforts had been effective with my dad who is now in his early 60s. He’s convinced that global warming is a hoax created and perpetuated by college administrators, research scientists, and somehow also the oil industry. Oh, and Al Gore. Apparently he’s some kind of evil mastermind. When I asked him who…

Fuck sake I don’t know how you survive with so much misinformation banging around in your head.

There is absolutely NO REASON we couldn’t have our health insurance work similarly to auto insurance, home owner’s insurance, life insurance, etc. in that you are free to shop around, buy what you want, and keep it as long as you choose to keep paying for it...

Thanks for that. It shows me saving approximately $5k/year.

That means you’ll pay $6,840 in M4A taxes if you bring in $200K total.

The M100 is the bottom the lot in their M-Series line. If you want a viewfinder, get the M5, which has it EVF built in, or get the M6 with the EVF attachment.

I have been using the M6 without EVF for several months and basic shots in bright sunlight haven’t been too much of a problem. There are some situations where I…
