The camera itself without the lens retails for $1,500. Sounds like a steal.

I promise I'll control the urge to get anything else from Apple. I swear. Oh wait a minute. That new iPad looks really nice. And the Macbook Air. And the Apple Vision Pro. Oh no, they're sucking me in! I can't control it! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: It must be subliminal advertising. Quick...

:ROFLMAO: It's my first and only Apple device. I'll never have a Mac or iPad of any flavor.

I understand. Besides, it sounds like you would piss off your landlord if you did car work in the parking lot.

You could do most things with ramps that you can do with a lift: https://www.google.com/search?q=car+ramps&oq=car+ramps&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i512l9.3168j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 My brother does most things with ramps. Occasionally a lift is needed. Then he has to go to a mechanic.

I actually ended up getting a used (very good condition) refurbished iPhone 14 on eBay for $326.46. I needed to pull the trigger because the first thing I'll be using it for is investing. I'll keep all the options you mentioned for future use, or if the phone breaks. It's coming Tuesday. I...

If you have a car you like and it can be repaired for a reasonable price it makes much more sense to do that, instead of getting a new one. The repair may cost roughly the book value of your vehicle, but then you'll have a working vehicle which matches your needs, instead of one which most...

Thanks for making me aware of 55+ plans. I thought most discounts didn't start until 65. I'm a Princeton alumni actually. My brother broke his iPhone screen multiple times but did his own repairs. He's not even an EE like me. I'm going to be mostly using the phone in case of emergencies, and...

I'm finally coming into the 21st century and getting a mobile phone. I already have Verizon for Internet, TV, and my landline. Verizon has an offer of 90 days free mobile service for existing customers but you need a phone to take advantage of it. I'm leaning towards getting an iPhone 14 on eBay...

Probably most of the Republican party. Trump thought there would be mostly Democrats in those files. When he found out otherwise, there were suddenly no Epstein files.

The perpetual optimist in me says this too will pass. The realist says otherwise. What's amazing is all these MAGAs defending policies which will hurt them in Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill. Or more accurately Big Raging Dumpster Fire.

It'll definitely extend to women and girls in general. I'm sure part of the hidden agenda of Project 2025 is to make females property again. You'll probably even have people wearing MFPA hats. This way the incel "white grievance" males don't have court women to get laid. They can just buy them...

In anyone is interested I uploaded pictures and videos when I saw the Macy's fireworks this year. Now that I have my freedom back I'm starting to go out more. Pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gh9dHVnHZ3EmkhVp7 Videos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BeesKHf87pgpkmAWA (first video is part of the...

That's what I'm hoping happens, rather than any low-level conflicts lasting for years or decades. In theory we can stop this cold in 2026 if the Dems get control of both houses of Congress. In practice I think Trump will find an excuse to void any election results he doesn't like. There's also...

I don't disagree with anything you wrote, sed. It's 1933 all over again, and it's scaring the crap out of me.
