  1. Thanks for the replies. I have a zillion issues with Apple. Yes their phones have been really reliable. But in a nutshell, I view apple as a company that started out making a superior product, but now spends its creative capital making up new ways to bleed its customers for $. Slowing down old phones intentionally so that customers will upgrade is fraudulent in my book. But the company does a bunch of other subtle things to make you spend $. My MacBook default settings ended up making countless duplicate copies of drafts and such, which used up all the memory within a few months. I can't watch a lot of our videos because they take so long to load in iPhotos, even though I'm paying for the storage. Lately photos has not been letting me create new albums. A ton of the Mac specific programs/apps are super annoying to me. I could go on and on and on. I used windows for many years so I'm not worried about that switch, and I'm basically banking on the top Andriod phones today being nearly as good as the iPhone itself for things like camera, battery life, etc. Thanks again!
  2. Maybe this should go in the cord cutters thread or elsewhere, but here's the question. I have an iPhone and MacBook, but fed up with apple and want to switch to a new laptop and phone. Up open to recommendations on android phones and windows laptops, especially if certain devices/platforms work better together. Also I have a ton of iPhone photos I'd like to save/convert to windows, plus some other documents etc. Should I get help locally in ATX for this and if so recommendations on where to go?
  3. 4 y.o. daughter: "Mommy, why do you wear black panties instead of panties with characters from TV on them?"
  4. My wife had her second Pfizer a couple days ago, and she has had virtually no side effects from either shot. Very slightly sore where they stuck her.
  5. Our 2 year old doesn't like to be told not to do things, of course, and usually responds by making a mad face/scary voice and announcing why he's going to do exactly what he wants to do. He's potty training and when he's not wearing a diaper during the day, he loves to play with his thing. Yesterday he had his hand down his pants and the nanny was telling him to get it out of there and stop touching himself. He looks at her and growls, "My daddy said I can touch my weenie whenever I want!!!"
  6. while we are mentioning Russia, I'll take issue with this
  7. This guy was out late. Thanks 2020, you thought of everything including cottonmouths on thanksgiving
  8. I don't think they are transferring covid patients -- rather other patients to make room for covid patients and to make sure non-covid patients are separated from ones with the virus. So it may count against our numbers of available hospital beds but not cv19.
  9. And the year is not over yet?
  10. Last week someone pointed out the daily rollercoaster of waking up and everything is rosy, and by bedtime everyone's sphincter is cranking out diamonds. So true lmao
  11. I don't gamble and don't understand the numbers representing the odds. So sorry for the dumb question, but right now if you put $1 on Biden to win TX or Trump to lose TX, what is the payout?
  12. Its cold and windy af all over TX, maybe that helps explain the slow morning
  13. What don't you believe -- that some MAGAers are on Medicaid?
  14. So if only 1% who voted red last time vote blue, its a virtual dead heat? Then add in all the extra turnout, including turnout from young people? I'll go Biden by 3%
  15. Under any scenario I can think of. I can see protests, threats all over social media, etc. Perhaps isolated incidents of violence, looting, etc. But aside from some small town police departments, law enforcement and the military would never support trump. The powerful trump supporters wouldn't incite violence, bad for business. I just don't see it.
  16. Will you and/or Brisket outline how the violence plays out post election if Trump loses by a close margin?
  17. I don't sense anybody sneering when they make references like that. Its either policy talk to benefit the underprivileged, or references to the dumbasses that support trump.
  18. Nah, we just make fun of stupid people, low or high class.
  19. Can we figure out how to cancel Fox News too?
  20. Remember when he told the kindergartners that Santa is not real?
  21. In TX they have been conservative for a long time. They still buy that the Dems = big govt, lots of spending, GOP = fiscal responsibility, against welfare. Then add in Catholicism and abortion issues. Then the fact that hispanic culture shifts move slowly due to close knit family units and respect for elders. How they can stick to that in the face of Trump's actions and rhetoric is way beyond me.
  22. Are all these polls showing dead heats or slight Biden leads in red/purple states a coordinated GOTV effort for the gop?
  23. East TX is missing some genes/IQ points
