Apple Music is stupid and having to sync my iTunes library with my phone via wifi with no other option is stupid.

Thanks for listening.

To anybody with an iphone, make sure you enable this before your OEM cable frays/gets lost. You have to be plugged in to do it. And most cables out there, including a lot of supposedly "certified" cables even by companies like Amazon, don't actually work for syncing.

I'm just doing hard syncs now. I ditched Apple Music in favor of Spotify.

My options were:

1) not be able to sync songs I manually put in my iTunes library (and when you make music for people this isn't an option)

Or

2) turn off iCloud music library, which eliminates the ability to download any music from Apple Music, forcing me to use data if I want to listen to anything other than the songs I manually put on my phone through a hard sync. I pay $4.99/mo for music. I don't need that artificially inflated because of data usage.

Or

3) ditch iTunes and get Spotify. Which is a small inconvenience because I enjoyed having everything consolidated into a single app.

The thing is every employee is getting 15% more, and I haven't gotten my annual raise yet either, so it could be up to 20% total. In which case I will be buying a used BMW 328i

I'm hoping that I can net a decent pay raise here in the next year or two. I'd love to have enough fun money to afford a car for pure recreation. Like a used BRZ or WRX.

What laser is that? That's likely going to be the hardest part as far as building a rough clone.

You can make a rifle that is objectively better in every possible way by not cloning any service rifle.

Pretty sure that's just the MILES laser, which fits with the background looking like some lovely temp Bs at a training center.

Speaking of miles lasers did anyone else avoid firing blanks during miles training by just smacking the laser in order to "shoot"?

Oh look lol I didn't recognize it, assumed it was an IR laser of some kind.

A rough clone of that M4 shouldn't be that much, maybe $1500 tops if you piece it together yourself. Depends on how close you want the parts exactly.

Actually I already looked and it would be

- M68 (CompM4): $871
- M4A1 (FN-15): $1,623

Pretty damned steep

I see CompM4 CCOs go for $475ish used on the regular. You could put together an upper and lower from PSA for cheaper as well. Just gotta get a premium or CHF upper, not the bottom of the barrel ones.

Maybe next year Santa can bring me a SBR'd lower, HK MR556A1 shorty upper, OSS can with a stamp, Magpul furniture, and an Aimpoint.

A pallet or two of Mk318 to feed it would be nice, too.

As an "ecosystem" all the Apple offerings are garbage. You get a lot more usability out of Spotify and Dropbox and Apple can't even claim to have better user interfaces because those also suck dick.
