  1. Sorry, I have to butt in here. I unfortunately ended up in the NDOC's custody. I ended up at a fire camp. You learn a lot about forest fires and how to prevent them there. Clear cutting, and get this.. Controlled burning... Is the only way to create a fire break. And when you clear cut you create slash piles that are then burnt in a controlled fashion.

    Electronics tech* 90% of electricians have NFI how most things in a car work whether they have a wire attached or not. But on that note, I am going to rebuild the top half of my 2003 chevy malibu's engine today. Took 6 hours to get down to the problem and I assume 6-8 hours to get back into operation. Every shop I towed it to said $2500 to even start because they couldn't figure out what the issue was from the sound. I tried to tell them the rocker bolt lifted out of the head. You could clearly hear it, and they are the "professionals". Sometimes I feel letting others work on your stuff is why it doesn't last as long as it could.

    Don't waste your time. He will just throw facts and logic out the window to try to spin what you say and insist YOU mean something you don't until he is satisfied that he has proven he is better than you because you commit thought crime.

  5. yea yea we know you hate the USA.

  6. I truly despise Apple as a company, and the majority of their products suck. The ONLY good piece of hardware they have made IMO is the iphone. And the removal of the headphone jack destroyed that. Now they are back where they were 10 years ago in my book. And seeing as I'm me and not anybody else. I couldn't give a shit less if *other* people think they are gods gift to electronics.

    Actually, I may be deaf, but I am latency sensitive.. I can definitely tell when I'm trying to control things through a bluetooth connection. Also phone conversations have enough latency no need to add 500ms more.

  9. You pretty much nailed it. I mainly use the headphone jack to connect the phone to other devices like my stereos in the truck or car because radio sucks. Or into the small speaker system I keep in the bathroom for shower time. I rarely use headphones on my phone. Also i'm partially deaf so sound quality is not my biggest gripe when it comes to shit like this. However pops and whistles(Seriously its 2018 why does this still happen) piss me off. And audio cutting out. I don't know if its because of the phone case but I've had issue where while using bluetooth to play audio through a small speaker hanging off of one side of my body with the phone in the pocket on the opposite side of my body, the audio will cut out occasionally for a second or so. Super frustrating especially if you're trying to talk to somebody while doing something.

    Just when I lost all hope of my next phone having a headphone jack. I had been contemplating switching from an iphone to the pixel when they removed the headphone jack.. Thought I was gonna be perpetually stuck on the iphone 6...

    Well, that's the logic that a large portion of this country has. It's called control, they just want to be able to tell you and I that we can not do something because they don't like it. Even when it doesn't effect them.

    I use sprint, I haven't noticed a difference since the end of the 2015 NN rule, well the service has gotten better.. And they recently upped my throttle cap(only in congested areas) to 50GB, and "mobile hotspot" to 50GB from 25 and 10 respectively. And I have been using my phone as home internet for the last 3 months exclusively.. I can play games just fine, watch youtube just fine with the exception of sometimes it will drop to 480p for a few minutes or at normal peak times when all the kids around where I live are on their phones. I have more problems with youtube being a prick than anything else because I use safescript.

    I would say the same percentage of blacks/menthol to women/menthol from my experience. I however am from teh poors, :( In Las Vegas of all places. However "This should be an easy situation for the Republicans to take a stand against, because menthol cigarettes are popular in the Black community." Was the polarizing race baiting part I was talking about. You really should not defend people like that. It looks bad on you.

    Unfortunately no, I've tried it. You can still taste the nastiness of the regular cigarette through it. I smoke Newports because I like the way they taste. The alternative would be to quit smoking 100% because all other cigarettes including menthols taste like ass to me.
