Apple makes pieces of shit. I can't tell you how many iPhones I've had replaced, and now my second aluminum MacBook is warping and the screen is messed up. If they don't take it back I might honestly blow up in the store.
-
I've had 2 Macbooks in 10 years, and every iPhone I've had has lasted me the full 24 moth contract length, even the best brands sometimes have a duff product slip through. It appears that with Apple you just get the shitty end of the stick.
-
Yeah can't say I've had those issues with Apple. Everything I've had has lasted very long even with the abuse I heap on it. Dell to me is the worst PC manufacturer. Always driving to the lowest cost build possible.
-
My wife's 2 year old iPhone (3S, I think?) has withstood a ton of abuse, as has Benjamin's 1st gen iPad, which is also still going strong. I'm about as far from an Apple fanboy as is humanly possible, but they do build to last.
-
I think it just depends on what you get. I must've just been unfortunate.

Oh, and deer are an incredible nuisance. Collisions cause around 200 deaths annually, over 1 billion (yeah, billion) in property damage and around 13,000 cases of Lyme disease. And that's not to mention the 5-10 people killed per year by "aggressive bucks". But everyone says, "Oh, they're so cute. You can't kill Bambi."
Screw that. Nothing wrong with a little population control. Not as bad as feral hogs, though.

I love 'm even more… Nothing wrong with a little population control.

I wonder how many deer deaths are caused by bullets related deaths
I just think it's a brilliant example of human hubris the way we discuss the inconvenience and menace of nature

^ Word.

Speak for yourself Poirot, I'm a proud misanthrope.
-
Man ain't the problem, our culture is. If you look at the way other peoples, those unsullied by our cultural disease of thinking man owns the earth and was born to conquer it, live, you see a different picture of what it means to be human.
I'm a proud neo-tribalist.

Funny you mention that, I'm going on my first hunt this year with a couple buddies down in GA
Would love to go on a hog hunt though

A friend of mine hunts every fall somewhere out in the hill country. One of these years I should take him up on his offer to show me what it's all about.
-
And on a separate rant, I'm kinda sorta looking for a beater pair of boots in a specific style. Best place I've found so far has them at $150 for brown and $115 for black. Really? An extra 20% to get them in brown? And no, I won't buy the black. I don't wear black boots, it's a personal hang up of mine.

Jesus H Christ on a Popsicle stick I work with some great people, but I work with some fucking animals too. Some dude managed to shit on the toilet seat and was just walking out of the bathroom like nothing happened, didn't bother to clean up after himself. Tempted to have a chat with him about that. This isn't the first time some prick made a mess of the can here either. I didn't realize being housebroken was such a challenge.
-
I sympathise, I work at a site with almost 500 employees and a couple of Christmas ago one of them was obviously particularly proud of the enormous pipe they had laid in the toilet, and so decided to place it on to toilet cistern decorated with tinsel and a note saying "Happy Xmas from the Yule Log terrorist". Imaginative
