    Do they call this feature the "Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal" feature? I hope they do. But more to the point, standing there with you eyes closed all day isn't exactly going to work out.

  8. I'm an idiot. Apologies. When I was at Apple last year, they were talking about how it wouldn't use lightning and just use USB C, I didn't realize they decided against that. Which is really weird, but that Apple I guess.

    Again, my apologies.

  9. Apple ditches proprietary cable and will use the standard USB-C cable?

    Or is that not anti Apple enough?

    Republicans is a club, if you aren't in the club, you aren't republican. I think you may mean 'fiscal conservatives/social moderates'

    You can say you are an elk and not be a member of the elks clubs. well, you CAN, but it doesn't make it so.

    Sadly, because of blind vilification, many wont switch who they vote for.

    Alpha House had a great scene where a Reagan impersonator gets up and only quote Reagan, and the GOP member start booing him. That's how coocoo the GOP have become.

    Why does apple have a connectors for a descending uterus? Or did you mean lightning?
