looking out for them, avoid parking next to them and parking next to a car that's much nicer than yours are usually some good ways to make sure your car doesn't get hit

you'd think that as an actual reasonable adult human id teach my kids to be respectful of others property

but instea i teach them that if you want to be a force in others lives? if you want to impact other people, slamming car doors is an excellent way because you don't even need to meet the person to make in change in their day

did you get the 6? it's usually not worth getting the last year's device for like a hundred bucks less due to the fact it's probably going to be the most used piece of electronic device you own for at least a year or two

also since this is the S cycle when most of the internal improvements happens instead of an external redesign


you can still return it and swap it for a 6s if it's within like 2~3 weeks

well GT sure got a good deal.

so they got a half billion dollar loan from apple. failed to produce any useable product from the deal. declare bankruptcy. get to keep 600 furnaces and auction the rest. GT keeps half the proceeds. any unsold equipment will be given to apple to "scrap".

like how do they come ahead 600 furnaces and 1/2 the proceeds from the auction.

how did GT get a good deal? they overextended and hosed up the partnership so much they had to declare bankruptcy on the whole corporation

apple's not entitled to 100%. apple's only entitled to the value of the debt they held in the limited partnership between them and GT. if things were reversed, this same liability would have kept GT from now owning or forcing apple to sell the new spaceship campus

so apple gets their money back from liquidation of equipment and a free building and land, assets of the limited partnership. GT just keeps the poo poo they had outside that partnership with apple

good for you, some people also just hold onto their device for two years and buy the latest one after that time period


which is still better than buying the last years model of something for roughly the same cost of the latest version especially due to how fast the mobile hardware advances
