Hey. Remember when the beagle spacecraft totally slammed into the Martian countryside because someone used imperial units? 2 year wait for some good times.

With no 3.5mm jack and no Qi charging or sharing, this beautiful phone is unfortunately off the table for me. Those are anchor features.

I hope it provides the rest of you with a good decade of service, though.

Bah. Where is it? It was right here. I just have to

RING RING

find the fucking adapter. It was right in my bag in the side. Why

RING RING

is it not in that pocket? It’s always there. Could

RING RING

it have fallen out? Into genpop where

RING RING

my gym clothes were? Why doesn’t it fit in the winder with

RING RING

the earbuds anyway? I always lose it. Aw shit. It’s Steve from

RING RING

confidential, and he is under 60 so he hates voicemail. But so so I so…

RING RING

I guess I’ll have to wait until he can leave the secure area and turn on his phone and send me an SMS.

Been waiting a while, though. How long is this gonna take? I have to drive home before the sitter leaves.

Look. He’s not calling me back. He’s probably pissed because I was so insistent and now it looks like I flaked. And now, we’ve been idling in the parking lot for 10 minutes and so we gotta go before Laurie’s mom comes.

Okay. Onto the freeway. Home in 30.

Don’t jinx him or the universe will give him a sore tummy.

Oh-ho-ho. Condolences, my net dude.

This is the sad part. My favorite uncle had a special connection to hanauma bay near Waikiki, but my mom can’t go there and remember him smiling and laughing and teaching my cousin to swim. We are all afraid that even us whiteboy Canucks will get separated in customs and never be seen again. And we’re wipepo from the most polite country on earth!

It’s almost assured that, after this term, if Hawaii hasn’t separated yet, that she’ll be too old to travel $afely. She’s getting a little fuddy now, in that she brings it up often, and tells me again for the first time about Uncle’s love of Hawaii and h bay … every time.

Trump’s people are dicks

We can ban a bag successfully but we can’t ban a gun?

I was named after some guy before they found out he was a total dirtbag. My legal first name is so unused it sounds discordant when I hear it (like at a doctor’s office).

I really struggled with that until my friend Chuck showed me his own ID and I learned his last name. Yep, Manson.

solely on the strength of the Palestine issue

Palestine for Kamala was a lose-lose topic. There is no way she could state a plan or position on Palestine without penalty. Those who could see that were the same who thought, “of the two, which has a better chance on that one case of America meddling” and picked based on trends.

Those who couldn’t get that voted for Trump.

… and a great grass-roots history of beneficial community service. Honestly her resume of not being a dirtbag is long and consistent.

Comma splices and ‘outher’? Definitely bigot. These people pluralize ‘email’ with an S, despite it being a mass noun. They’re sick.

3.5mm jack?

Really, no jack at all.

If a StarTAC 7800 can fit a headphone jack, then so can this. I’ll take a 2.5mm

So only SOME deficiencies can be discussed outside of its own sub-tree?

3.5mm Jack or - sadly - GTFO

I think, given the huge leap you’ve made, I’m gonna need a little more proof.

Hanlon says hello.

This is the 17th.

Go see.

When the party line in question is “don’t belligerently attack people, ya war criminals”, it’s okay to toe that line.

Heh. “67 SO FAR” – homer

I liked “Bullshit Barbie.”

It was cheap, it was thoughtless, it was mean, it was just based on a place of disappointment, and in that way suited this particular person, in my books.
