They'd probably just clink everywhere and ruin a perfectly good set that I'll still use next winter.

Winters have been getting a lot less snow and ice last five or so years so it's really hard on the spikes as it is.

I have an unhealthy obsession with motorcycles.

Proof
Well after waiting like 8 months I think it's finally new phone time. I passed on getting the Google Pixel when it came out, and it's been sold out ever since then. Now the LG G6 and Samsung S8 are out it doesn't even seem like the XL is that great of a deal. The Pixel XL has no water resistance. Also has no expandable memory, and no 64G option. 28Gigs is not gonna be nearly enough so I gotta pony up $100bux for a 128G model which means I'm gonna be pushing $1000 for a loving phone? No thanks. Besides, the new Google Pixel phones are gonna be out in 6 months anyway. I can't really wait that long so I'm thinking it's LG G6 time or I just stick with Samsung's TERRIBLE touchwiz UI and get the S8.

May as well put them in the shed and get a used set of wheels to put good summer tyres on.

It really seems kind of like they just took a 3-series and stuck smaller body on that.

I guess they didn't have a small car platform but really needed one in the market or something.

Back seat's kind of cramped but fine for kids.

To be fair, that statement still works for back seats in the 3 series (E and F series).

Anchovies are good as hell idk why they're the go-to "gross" food, it's basically seasoning.

And it may not be sustainable, but drat if tuna ain't fuckin' delicious, pretty much no matter how it's cooked.

The opposite, actually. The road they decided to race on kind of a curve so the Tesla pulled ahead....and started drifting into the Mustang's lane.

I like to think I'm pretty environmentally conscious but not in this case. I'm going to eat as much ahi as I can until it's all gone. Hopefully the mercury poisoning gets me first.

I don't understand why people have sprinklers in the North East, it rains here all the time morons! Spend the money on a heated driveway or something.

Well disappointing news for housechat. The buyers who bought our current home had the deal on their home collapse yesterday which triggered the sale condition on our deal with them since they don't have the financing ability to pull off 2 homes.

More of a pain in the rear end than a huge deal for us, but still, it was nice having it done. I guess the husband and wife are heartbroken and sent us an email via their our realtor to let us know that they're going to do everything they can do to sell their house right away to buy ours and might already have another buyer lined up. Since it's not like its their personal fault of course they can give us another offer, but back on the open market it goes after we move out over the next couple days.

On the plus side, I don't need to buy a new washer, dryer and deep freeze after all.

By deprecating OpenSSL. That's not really a fix.

TL;DR: The idea that iPhones are more secure than other things is laughable. If its human made and programmed, its gonna have exploits and zero days. iPhone is no exception to this. Neither is Android.

Dude, if you are buying a closed source phone for its security, you're paying for ignorance. Sorry. Gave you a whole list of exploits, but please, continue to pretend you are super secure because you bought an Apple product.

No product is perfectly secure.

Apple products and Unix in general avoided security problems for a long time as the end user was targeted. As that has changed then the holes in both are becoming more apparent because rather than seeing what was happening to Windows and taking steps to avoid it while it was not an issue it was ignored and now they have the same issue that MS had with Windows a decade ago. Maybe not quite as bad but still a similar situation.

Depreciating OpenSSL helped but I doubt it was done with any kind of foresight to the issues that became apparent later and the usual Apple view of not wanting to support stuff they didn't need to.
