So appearently the Iphone 6 models are bending and being recalled. I've waited since Apr for these phones and now I gotta wait longer.

I wasn't particularly interested in the phones. But I had finally won the "money doesn't do you any good when you're dead" argument with my 83 y/o father (with COPD) over the Watch. And then the bastards leave the pulse-oximeter off of it.

Saw a little girl riding a tricycle with her mom (presumably) following behind...in her car. Sort of like this lazy dog walker below. I shouldn't judge. Maybe it was just easier to eat her bowl of gravy while driving rather than walking or riding...

Only the 6Plus phones bend, the same guy who tested the 6Plus tested the 6 and could not bend it.

It's currently six in the morning, and I have to go to sleep, then get up in a couple of hours to do stuff.

Robots name is literally Bender.

Also they do have an episode where they mock the iPhone where everyone turns into mindless slaves.

I came back to visit and i found almost all of my posts were erased. I had some really great conversations with some awesome and inspired fellow readers in those posts. I am reluctant to start new threads as a result. Who decides what stays and what goes? What criteria is used? I am sad. They were some interesting and funny threads.

Starting a college course this week, for Tuesday Thursday Friday, but due to the maths tutor being seriously ill on the very first day of teaching they've moved the Friday lessons to Monday, which basically means I either decline the job I had lined up for Christmas or do the 10pm-6am night shift. So I'm going to keep looking for another job cause seriously fuck that.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

It's Fox News, did you expect standards?

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

We don't get Fox News in the UK so I'm not constantly reminded of its idiocy. Also I would have thought, with people getting fired for this kind of thing all the time (or at least here they are - a dude on Sky Sports lost his job due to a comment that is, IMO far more innocuous than what that dude on Fox said...) he would have been a lot more careful about it. You can see some of the other guys on there getting uncomfortable before he even made the "boobs on the ground" comment.

FOX sadly gets away with horrible, conservative, assholery of the platinum level...luckily most sensible American's think that FOX news is the bungehole of American news.

I'm quite glad we don't have anything like it in Canada to be honest...

I think we could call it a draw if Rob Ford was going to be re-elected. Ford versus Fox, not sure which I would rather have in Canada less.

On the messing with my groove note is the fact both Westjet and Air Canada are going to the US airline model, where you are charged $25 for the first checked bag. I hate flying on US airlines because of that rule. The majority of passengers try to carry on all their luggage and boarding/disembarking takes way way longer than on other airlines. I fly a fair bit for work and foresee a whole lot of time spent sitting in a landed plane thinking to myself "hurry the F up you asshats."
