spankmeister posted:Apple makes nice stuff but caters to the lowest common denominator. So of course it attracts the retards. It doesn't help that, at least in my area, they seem to have something against doing anything that PC's do. My best friend (also a goon) used to be a hardcore Appleite until the one day the video driver in his computer failed and instead of just popping the thing open and replacing that one part, the Apple store down here- For some god-forsaken reason- kept trying to make him pay hundreds of dollars to replace the entire goddamn thing.  When the roller coaster breaks, they don't tear down the amusement park and start from scratch!

CaptainPsyko posted:On a lot of macs, the video card is part of the main logic board. It's not an easily swappable part. This is done for a variety of reasons, including the reductions in size, cost, and power consumption that can be found in such a design (Not necessarily all three depending on the specific board in question of course). Ah, I see, I didn't know that. His wasn't an iPad or any little thing, though- His was a bigger computer tower, so I really don't see why they couldn't have just cracked it open and replaced it, unless it's also integrated to the logic board in the towers.

... Why have they never replaced batteries? That makes no loving sense! That's just asinine!CaptainPsyko posted:Was it an iMac? If so, there's still a good chance it was built in. Honestly, I have no idea- It was three or so years ago and it was the last in a long string of Apple-related annoyances that ended up with him giving up on Apple and switching to Windows. VVVV Alright, I submit that that makes sense, but I maintain that it's still asinine. Malachite_Dragon fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Oct 10, 2011 |

The General posted:I remember my first time buying condoms. It pretty much went like that. So many kinds, so many options Then there's not knowing what size is appropriate. What if you get one that's too small and squeezes all the blood out of your johnson at a critical moment? What if you get one that's too big and you seem like an overconfident rear end in a top hat? Do they even list actual sizes on those loving wrappers/boxes beyond "MAGNUM  "?

miscellaneous14 posted:On a tangentially-related note, I still remember the time I sneezed into my hands at the register in front of an approaching customer. Instead of going to wash my hands, I wiped them off on my pants and just gave my usual doofy attempt at a half-smile. Which of course lead to him just going, "Can I get someone else to serve me, please?". At least you tried to wipe off your hands instead of ignoring it and keeping on going with snot glistening on your hands.  I wish I was making this up. Some people are disgusting.

Amazingly the plastic managed to withstand me jumping on a piece of a rock I put on top of it, but the bottom gave in to a simple screwdriver really easily.

Levo posted:When I moved to Brazil and got bitched at by the owner of the house for flushing my toilet paper I thought I was being pranked for a good ten minutes and just kept telling them to cut it out because I wasn't falling for it. How do you get people to loving stop doing this?  My sister's boyfriend was born and loving raised in this state and he still insists that plumbing strong enough to withstand toilet paper does not exist. If I find the trash bin full of his lovely wads one more time I will shank him, I swear to god. I'll do it with a smile on my face.VVVV He has been told. Repeatedly. Toilet paper was bunched up and thrown into the toilet and flushed as a demonstration. I will go to prison for stabbing this man, and I will have no regrets.

Especially when you have online banking nowadays and you can even check on your PHONE how much you have? I try to keep track of what I have on my debit card, but the local ATM's that are convenient for me to check what I have on it charge me two drat bucks just to punch in my PIN and see how much I have  I don't have that much to begin with! So I try to remember, but I end up forgetting... Also I don't have a smartphone  Callin' and Textin' and that's about it!VVVVV That has been the source of more then one argument between my parents.

Zenithe posted:Do you not have any way to hear in situations like that? I have a cochlear implant, but the batteries only run 6 to 8 hours a charge and I don't think they'd appreciate having to stop the court in the middle of someone talking for me to swap them out should they die in the middle of a witness grilling  The processor microphones also, despite being much better than previous models, are also still not 1:1 with normal human hearing so I could still mishear someone or just plain not hear what they said if they're a mumbler.
