I hate the bloatware attached to Android phones, so I went with a pixel 8. Pretty good phone, but the camera was defective. They sent me a refurbished replacement. It died from water damage... from a wet hand. On a phone rated for 30 minutes below 5 feet of water, that was disappointing. The second replacement drops signals all the time. Spotify glitches 5+ times per song. Google won't give me another replacement.

Never trust anything refurbished.

These are all ridiculously evil, but #7 should really be all the evidence it should take to convince anyone.

All he had to do was say "stop," but he refused. No other president would have gotten away with sitting idle while their capital was being overthrown.

Not sure if this is a map from Counter Strike or Uncharted...

I bought cough drops at a CVS once. They were like 4x the price of the grocery store. It's no wonder their insurance sucks. Also, yes, verticals like that should not exist.

The biggest kick in the balls is that insurance still doesn't cover shit. There's still co-pays, tons of things that aren't covered, out of network, maximum use of services, and anything large will almost certainly be denied by default. The co-pays alone are often as much as the service should cost.

Health insurance is a parasite. Profiting (massively) by being a gatekeeper to good health is pure evil.

Health insurance is nearly a trillion dollar industry. There is no way to have a middle man that big and somehow save money.

Their goals are 100% opposed to ours. By denying care and charging more, they profit.

We can't even shop around for a better provider because it's tied to our jobs. The entire system is broken.

Abolish health insurance.

Yep. I just heard about the liberal hell scape that is California and it's EV's that are destroying their highway system. Now California is charging 30 cents a mile in taxes to compensate for fuel tax losses. A non-idiot might take a few seconds to realize that's the equivalent of $9 per gallon in taxes.

Another idiot complained about green energy destroying the country because "what do we do when the sun goes down or the wind stops?! Blackouts! We need coal energy!"

These people are dumb as rocks.

Yeah, I suspend reasonable belief watching movies. I also try to ignore the obvious advertising (outwardly displayed Coke cans, vehicle brands, etc.) This movie was bad, and I say that remembering that the original was an expensive RAM commercial.

None of the characters had any heart, flaws, or depth of any sort. The villains were largely clones of the original. The music is brutal, one dimensional country garbage. The plot is a joke. The science is worse.

I enjoyed the original movie. It wasn't a favorite. My brain hurt during s few scenes, but it held my attention.

This turd was a soulless abomination.

Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I'm very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren't.

I've even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I'm perplexed on this one.

How does Joplin hold up with larger files? I've just been using Google docs, which I don't like for several reasons. One of which, is that it gets really choppy when you hit 100+ pages.
