My phone has started glitching a bit over the last month or two. I JUST reached the end of the point out was paid off under my plan, which is kinda suspicious to me.

In there past, I've always bought phones outright but this particular one there was a sale where it was cheaper to finance though my provider.

They're fine for certain things on an evolving menu etc, but not anything where a tactile sense might be needed to avoid distraction. A lack of volume knob is the thing that pisses me off the most in many vehicles, including my own.

Also, power should be a physical cutoff and NOT a soft button for head units. The one of my car is a software toggle and when the system started glitching, froze and also put out high volume noise with no way to kill it except to shut off the vehicle when I could safely do so

Sounds like an earlier version of this

Yeah. I basically focusing on nitpicky professional details and missing the "is this movie entertaining/fun" part.

100% this. If they're judging you based on your fucking phone, then THEY are not worth pursuing

To those people, if there's no Devil then it means all the bad stuff in their heads and hearts is just them. All the temptations are them. All the hatred, including self-hatred is them. There's no Devil that made them do it or think it, no external tempter or defiler to resist. They can't take that.

I do but it's certain circumstances where it make sense (on aircraft or when I've got a good pair of wired earbuds/headphones on me). Sometimes I use Bluetooth, sometimes wired but I appreciate having a CHOICE!

But, what if the player from the other team trips and falls over one of them. They might get pregnant! - concerned soccer-mom

Yeah. Part of that is how the big guy is proportioned. My dad and I are the same height but sit very differently in vehicles as he's more lower body and I'm more upper. He likes the seat wayyyyy back compared to me so I have to mess with things if I'm picking up his car for him.

For myself, I drive a Civic and it's generally comfortable, but - and this may sound dumb - it's got a sunroof gives me a bit more clearance. If I close the shade on the sunroof, my head is barely clear of the ceiling at my normal seat position and it's a bit claustrophobic. Pretty much every car I've had since my teens has one and it often feels very different driving vehicles without.

Two vehicles may be the same height and overall dimensions inside but just the seat+steering can make a notable difference in comfort between body proportions.

That's fair. The problem is when they get marketed as an even bigger peen-supplement to the people that already run an F350 for what's pretty much just grocery or fast-food runs (maybe a bit of muddin' because that makes sense with $80k+ worth of truck)

Ditto. "The Cloud" is just another name for somebody else's computer which you don't control
