Well a lot of true geeks do use Apple. Certainly enough that measure actual CPU performance etc. All that stuff is tested by computer geeks who share their findings.

I've had my suspicions about their computers. But I think there are enough geeks in the world that would expose it if true and Apple has too much to lose. I recently (well a year) upgraded from an Intel based Apple laptop to an Apple CPU M2 Pro CPU based laptop. Combined with SSD storage replacing the old spinning disc hard drive it is incredible. I have large music and photo libraries. On the old machine it would take a while to load them. Now it is almost instant. Everything is faster. In short it is AWESOME. Now on phones I have always suspected they do something to make the battery less efficient in the old models. Probably not but that's my conspiracy and I'm sticking to it.

Far different situation. Trump isn't so far gone he hides from the media and photo ops. In fact anyone drawing conclusions from selected snippets like the video herein is looking for anything the grasp at to hate Trump. But heck I know JT won't respond. Pathetically he thinks I am a troll and blocked me.

Looks like a high end Samsung is about the same as a new iPhone 16 pro max. Whatever. I'm not really into different phones or comparing them. I am kinda locked into apple with ipads, Macbooks, apple watch, all that <deleted> so it all integrates. Seems like the price delta between Apple and alternate OS systems isn't as great as it once was.

I think a higher end smartphone is well worth the money. I use mine every single day in multiple ways and it proves very useful. But they don't need replacement or upgrade often. I have an iPhone Pro 11 which is now 6 years old. The newer ones are faster and have better cameras and I guess a few features mine doesn't but I don't seem to miss any of that yet. Only feature I'd like that I know of is ESIM versus physical SIM. Certainly not important enough to upgrade for me. I mean if I do buy another one it would be state of the art which would cost me (looking on Apple right now) $1200. Yeah, over 5-6 years only $200 a year still no reason yet to buy.

The personal adoration of Trump the individual will end in 2028. But he isn't the root cause of the movement. He tapped into a frustration shared by millions with the direction the left was pushing the nation. Until the Democrats understand what is driving Trumps popularity with a large swath of Americans they will continue to lose elections.

I thought he was talking about the royal bathroom as in HIS bathroom. I'll take his word for it.

Surprised they aren't already planning to connect Vance to Hitler and Stalin. I notice the attack on Tesla seems to have quieted down. Guess they woke up and realized they were probably vandalizing a fellow lefty who bought to fight climate change.

I have to assume alcohol was a factor in that post. 🤣 You are certainly (assuming you are a yank) within your rights to sound off about Trump. And I am within mine to throw the BS flag when I smell cow poop. And I smell it in your "stories". Also I don't see him backing Putin. On the other hand I don't see him backing Ukraine either. Seems like Biden's policies of dribbling in aid just enough to continue a bloodbath wasn't working well for anyone but then I make no claims to being an expert in international policy. Personally my disdain for tyrants like Putin I would probably overreact and loan Ukraine F35s, Abrams tanks and whatever else they needed to win the war outright. But that's me. Maybe Trump policy is better. Wait and see is all we can do. Problem is people like yourself see anything other than nuking Moscow as backing Putin. Same not same.

Still throwing the BS flag on your statement: """Hey finally spotted a red cap penhead today!!yup a female no less!!snoozing in her car cap on the dash surrounded by dirty laundry with her teeth in a jar on the dash! Lmao 🤣 out of state plates no less (Florida) hey magga guys bet she’s available!!! """ As to what you see or not who cares? I never saw tons of hats or buttons for either candidate when the election was occurring. And I live in a red area. Why would they wear a hat now that the election is done? Maybe the electorate doesn't live daily with politics front and center in their thoughts. What perception or mood people have will be displayed next election and like polls all the rest of it, including your impression, is fodder for those with unhealthy obsession about politicians.

My opinion of him has changed a bit but certainly not because of the constant retarded attacks on him here. I voted for him because the DEM party positions on too many issues is way out there and destructive to the future of the US and world. And because they ran a complete idiot DEI candidate. Trump I have been wary of both times he was elected. Recently I am somewhat concerned by his scattershot announcements. Maybe there is method to the madness but if so it's above my pay grade and intellect. Still, DEMs/Kamala or Trump? I'd still have to vote Trump. It would be nice if both parties actually presented really good stable candidates and ran on fixing the national spending/debt problem long term as a priority instead of pandering to fringe groups. But at my age I now just hold out hope that the world economy stays stable until I'm gone.

Careful. JIngthing blocked me and called me a troll for less. Still coming to grips with that. 🤣

Interesting a mention of phasing out SS. While the libertarian in me likes the idea the realist in me accepts that a large percentage of humans do not make good decisions in life and will be destitute when they can no longer work if the smarter ones among us don't plan for them. SS is this concept. No, no one has a good retirement lifestyle off of SS but it keeps them from being completely cut off from an income. Also the comments that contributions no longer cover expenditures that is absolutely understandable with the largest population bump (boomers) hitting retirement and medicine keeping more of us alive longer. The libertarian side of me abhors these very socialist programs but the compassionate side accepts my fellow man is comprised of many sub-100 IQ specimens.

There had to be more to this. The devils always in the details.

Obviously posted by someone who is reading challenged. But hey you can assume anything you like about me. 😃

She will be out of the primary race early, again, in a national election for president. She just does not appeal to anyone that looks past the fact she is female and of color and even DEM voters aren't impressed with her. But she might be able to get elected in California. Who knows? They've had that idiot that has run a massive deficit on them for several years now so how could she be worse?

Well that put a damper on the talking points JT got from his far left echo chamber. 🤣

Alec - I'll take $500 in Things that never happened please. 🤣

I have never understood Cubs management. They HAVE enough money to be a perinnial contender but choose not to. I have Cubs friends and they just shrug. As to White Sox fans - man it's a tough road for them now.

STL Cardinals. Been a fan since Stan Musial was playing. Grew up in Ferguson.

Or his meat?

I'm old. I carry Glock. Just easy to shoot and I shoot well with it. Let's not be bigoted against Glocks. Actually in the area I live in I rarely carry. So heavy and a hassle and it's hot so conceped is hard too. And the last murder in my little community was probably between an Army dude and the native Americans and someone might have been scalped. 🤣

Nope. That didn't happen. There was/is disappointment in Biden's performance and when he actually did something someone here might have started a thread. But seriously this place has several a DAY on hate Trump. It's as if some wake up tune into CNN or Democratic Underground to find out what they are supposed to hate on today and then start a new thread. Seriously mentally ill people on the left on display.

There is a trend here where some members spend every waking moment spamming this site with hate filled nonsense against a single political figure and anyone that doesn't join in on that visceral hatred. Obviously that isn't a healthy mental state. Hmmm now what group is that?

Bwahahahahaha. Yet another far left hater outing himself. What is it with you folks? Don't you have lives?
