I watched that movie a bunch of times myself. I also wish they would have made more movies based on the series. I thought Master and Commander was a trip back in time to a world now long gone. Those sailing ships were the high technology of their times. I'll have to wait until I get a 4K OLED...

What became of those expensive monitors you were sent accidentally? Did they ever get wise to it?

It could be worse. He could have thought you were running an escort service.

Now I have another question. My 30 day free trial is over in a few days. Right now the trial is on IMEI 1 (the phone has an eSIM). Is there any issue with putting my permanent service on IMEI 2 now? This way I'll have use of both my temporary and permanent phone numbers while I transition. I...

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.
