So Fortnite is good for something

"You wanted us to unload the rails from the train car? Well shit. I coulda sworn you said you wanted the train car unloaded from the rails."

One might say the car was....derailed. hohohahaheehee

I didn't even know who Mr Beast was until he appeared on Neistat's channel...

I do find it depressing what YT thinks my demographic is interested in though. "30, male, likes gaming, occasionally watches a bit of a Joe Rogan - PUSH JORDAN PETERSON SUGGESTIONS UNTIL HE GIVES IN". Bleugh. Depressing because YT is probably right...

Promotion or no, they got a good product.

Actually, I think all of south-east asia might.

Being ridden by that ass all day will make any ass tired.

I misread the description as 12.5 kilometres per second, so, yeah, I guess I was a little bit disappointed.

I mean, there are a lot of questions about this, to be sure, but at the moment I guess the one that that is most preoccuping my thoughts is "Why Gangsta's Paradise?"

Trick question. America wins.

They were all so articulate as well.

Honestly, lets be real. The only problem here is when you try and help your kid with their maths homework and you both insist the other is doing it the wrong way. And long division is really where the proverbial hits the fan.

She posted a video demonstrating the kinds of comments she was posting, which were then promptly deleted. As far as I could tell there was nothing in them to warrant their deletion except the suggestion that data may be recoverable - which apparently Apple thinks is bogus advice.

re. Encryption - as far as I am aware she repairs the phones enough for them to turn on, the phone's owner still has to unlock it they want their things back. There are also some components which have some sort of hardcoded serial number, and cannot be replaced, but apparently enough of the parts can be interchanged that it isn't usually a problem.

Breaking the toilet in front of the pooch made me grit my teeth as well. That were dumb.

I don't think there should be an onus on Apple to repair instead of replace, but they could cooperate a little (or a lot) better with those businesses that are willing to offer that service. At the very least they should cease misleading their customers and stop removing perfectly legitimate advice.

35 is basically 40. 12 is basically 10.

so 400. Closeenuf.

I wonder if this stems somewhat from their marketing - they are trying to sell you a fashion accessory or perhaps symbol of status, not a gadget or a gizmo. At best it's a tool for trendy creative types, in the same way a wand is a tool for a wizard; Its a magic box not a glorified computer, a single crystal grown deep beneath The Valley of Silicon which the tech-priests then ensorcell using incantations passed down from the late grand master. An Iphone cannot be repaired because it does not break... it dies. Never forget the memories you shared with it, because they are irretrievable otherwise. Admitting it can be put right after a light drowning would perhaps dispel the magic.

That's my take anyway. Oh, and that they'd rather sell you a new thing that repair an old thing.

I suppose the irony is that most people will never see the genuine artistry and engineering excellence that goes into these things.

The time scale is so vast that I can't even begin to imagine what "we" might be.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

but then probably nothing is ever going to beat devouring every one of his books when I was in my teens.

Was it the Pilot's last flight or something?
