I had it for a year or two a decade back. It was kind of nice because I spent summers driving back and forth to a TDY location that was in the middle of nowhere. The idiot I worked with back then kept insisting that he didn't need satellite radio because he could just stream from his phone. But of course this was 2009, and 3G or even Edge wasn't that widespread yet, and his "demonstration" kept cutting out as we drove. He was one of those guys who bought the first iPhone and made an absolute nuisance of himself trying to show everyone how great it was.

I've had an Audible account since 2011, and have 355 audiobooks. I currently spend about 10 hours a week in commute so I need something to do. I'm planning to move closer in next year because I'm pretty tired of it.

In my case it was a yearly check-in with the Armed Forces Chaplaincy Board, who has a new executive director as of today. The old one asked about my predecessor, and I told him that she left. He worked the timeline out in his head and was like '...so you're the 4th person in like a year for this position' and I told him that yes, yes I was. He asked me how I liked it, I said I liked it just fine, and he remarked that he's been lied to professionally for 30 years and he asked me if I wanted to try my response again. I told him I had plans to book it after July and the new director overheard it and made a crack about him getting a job as an inquisitor.

They're a fun bunch.

What model is that? I've been thinking about grabbing a new phone because I've been unhappy with my Huawei Mate 10 Lite's camera since I bought the thing. My shopping criteria for Smartphones have never included "good camera" before, but my very first Smartphone had the best camera in the industry and I therefore assumed good pictures are basically stock in this generation, but it turns out they're not, and since I've stopped having a good standalone camera along with my phone in 2012, I think I might just have to integrate "decent camera" into my desire-profile for phones.


In other news, I just got mailed the results of my last ultrasound on Tuesday, and it looks like my venous thrombosis hasn't even improved beyond 30% since October of last year, so it looks like I'm gonna have to shitcan my trip to Korea this summer.
I'm loving pissed as hell, I can barely put it into words. At least my efforts of getting fit and healthy have seen me drop almost 20 pounds since December, so I can at least say TRYING to get to Korea was good for my health. :downs:

Do you have any experience with the pixel 2? My phone still works great but considering upgrading since my work may potentially pay half the cost for a new phone, however if there's no big difference I'd rather keep my fun bucks if the upgrade isn't really worth it

Amazon sends me an email saying that I'm probably low on laundry detergent so I better order soon and select the slowest shipping for the best value.

gently caress you, I say. I walk over to my laundry area and look and...there's 3 pods left.

I do not, unfortunately. My previous phone was a nexus 5X. I've heard it's a decent upgrade from the pixel 2 but me being me, if I were in your shoes I'd just wait till the four is out this fall.

My Amazon Surveillance Circle told me on my video briefing this morning that shipping if now changing to one day standard for everybody on Prime. Bezos is inside America's rear end in a top hat.

I have a 2, and my brother has a 3. Side by side comparison, the 3 is a marginal improvement in most ways that you'd notice, but not worth double what you can get the 2 for. I'm pretty happy with my 2, incidentally.

I'm still using that moto x4 I got for $250 last year and plenty satisfied to drive it into the ground. Not gonna spend firearm territory money on a goddamn phone, I could buy that drat Steyr L40-A1 I've been drooling over for pixel money, add at least a .357sig barrel and two more magazines and we're in Samsung territory.

Still need to buy a drat scope for the rifle, so that's another smartphones' worth of money better spent elsewhere.

You can get most flagships to take the same pictures with a sideloaded app.

The Pixel camera isn't that amazing; it's the processing that does the heavy lifting. No offense to the Pixels, as it's out of the box much easier to get those great pics.

Do you need to see Captain Marvel first for the full experience, or does a YouTube catch-me-up suffice like some of the other individual films? Not sure we'll have time to see one before the other.

I figured it was like the others, but thought I'd ask with the ending of the last one semi tossing it to a new character film before endgame came out. Just incase there was some "you should see Captain Marvel to understand x" kind of thing.

I had held back on getting tickets until after my last ultrasound, and my latest possible deadline would be late May before flights start getting ludicrously expensive. My hopes were that I'd already have the tickets and get cleared medically, but the way it looks, there's no way I'll get cleared before the end of the year.

In the ultrasound check-up before the last one, I was already told that my vein valves are hosed, and that I'll be wearing a compression sock for the rest of my life, and now it looks like - on top of that - post-thrombotic syndrome has already kicked in, despite stage 1 usually not coming in until several years after a thrombosis. So my hopes in this shitfest of a medical situation were to at least be able to make it to Korea this year. Welp.

I mean, technically, I can't legally be prevented from flying, but flying with a thrombosis is pretty drat high on the list of not-smart things to do. Outside of the immediate concerns for my own health, which are more than enough for a rational decision, I don't even want to begin to think about the liability concerns if something should happen and I cause a flight to be rerouted due to a medical emergency caused by gross negligence.
