I cant stand the stupidity of iOS, Android has it's own complete stupidities and the Samsung S5 I have is falling the gently caress apart - which is odd as the other Samsungs have been bulletproof. iPhones break if you look at them funny, who the gently caress wants a Windows phone and come on, the best mobiles were built by Nokia before they got eaten by Microsoft

I also cannot stand iOS. After my LG G4 committed firmware suicide, I bought an older Galaxy Note 3 on Amazon for $100.

That's particularly odd as the S5 I have is a tank, and I drop it like daily.

I will say the old Motorola Droid I had that was heavy and metal was goddamn bomproof. I think I had it for like 4 years. Basically all the paint came off from all the drops and it kept on ticking, though it was a but slow at the end. One with a slid-out keyboard too, which you'd think would cause ore mechanical issues, but no. The only device I can compare it too is my old Thinkpad (IBM badged) T42, which was clearly overbuild and gave zero fucks about weight.

edit: iPhone break if you look at the wrong. You phone shouldn't need a loving case that doubles the width and the weight so it won't break (and hide whatever aesthetic advantage the iphone has).

Previa_fun: Nov 10, 2004

I had a Blackberry for a time and despite how popular they were when they came out it was the worst goddamn phone I've owned.

The emergency call feature on the lock screen meant I made month accidental 911 calls because it jostled around in my pocket. There was probably an option to chance the options on screen but I'm stupid and lazy.

The physical keyboard was alright though. I hate typing on screens.

Let's talk about something less contentious: I went and shot guns today. It was fun and cool.

My nexus 5's battery poo poo the bed this year and with the screen all cracked to hell I gave in and I bought some $150 chinese phone that is absolutely abysmal but I ended up buying a different phone that was actually halfway decent and just use the chinese phone if I do any activity that might involve it getting a shitload of break cleaner on it or me whipping it into the van from five feet away because I'm lazy.

On a different note, I think I might like rotary engines now, mine is just so smooth and free revving. Send help.

Some loving crackheads broke into my mom's car and literially stole nothing as far as I can tell (even the cheap harbor freight portable air compressor).

Like even the change and charging cords are there. loving crackheads.

Plus its gonna rain tommorow and no glass places seem to be open.

Edit: the garage is blocked by a broken 240z, so I can't even do that.

It is orange, has an l28 with triple webers, the worst wheels ever (po problems), and my little brother broked the motor. Sounded really loving mean before that.
Body is pretty good except for a dented roof (po also stored poo poo on it) and almost perfect orginal paint except for one part that must have been under a window, because it faded.

It is a 73, so lovely bumpers.

I have some pics from when it ran somewhere. It hasn't run for a while though.

Edit2:
gently caress these wheels

Geoj: May 28, 2008; BITTER POOR PERSON

My wife has a S5 that survived being dropped from the window of a car moving at 50 MPH, she was stupidly attempting to take a picture while holding the phone slightly out the window (as a passenger.) Chrome trim around the screen got a little chewed up but after collecting the phone, battery, back and the case (spread out over 50') and putting it back together it still works, and with the case back on there's zero visible damage.

I still have the Oneplus One I bought in early 2015, still runs great, can go 48 hours between charges assuming I'm not buried in it and is rock solid stable running CM13 nightlies. Seems to me half of the problem with Android phones is the lovely stock ROMs. I've had none of the usual complaints about Android running some form or another of an AOSP ROM. Oh, and charger discipline - consistently keep your battery above 20% and it will last forever.

They call it the "terrible twos" for some reason, as if the awful new attitude they develop isn't completely overshadowed by the fact that they finally sleep soundly every night.

Can't remember if you're an international goon but if you're not check out Harbor Frieght. They have a couple fairly decent work benches that are usually on sale and seem to hold up well from what I've seen.

I loved my original moto g, the size was perfect. I eventually got the newer version because the original slowed down, looking back I should have just done a factory reset and ran it for another couple years. Used it as a backup and loaner phone for a while until a friend smashed the screen.

Dad was using his old work blackberry until last fall when they made him get rid of it. It wasn't worth the expense of running a blackberry server for the three people still using them. He loved that stupid thing but learned and is liking the iphone they set him up with now.

Rotary was the other option I looked at for the track car. Think if I was closer to Spyder or another rotary guru I would have been more tempted.
