Nice pic. I remember when they built that bridge. It was under construction the first time I rode the parkway.

Let me see if I can make this even clearer. I linked an article showing many examples of highly intelligent tattoo decisions. I then mentioned it in subsequent replies. A picture is worth a thousand words. The link is worth the equivalent of a novel's worth of words.


Not all novels are good or worth reading. Not every picture is worth a thousand words. Some are only worth 127 words, some even less.
Four words one rarely hears together, highly intelligent tattoo decisions.

You say that like it's a bad thing. It's not!

Exactly! What comes next, subscriptions to camera features like BMW is trying with heated seats? Would you be willing to pay $5.00 per month for autofocus? You might believe that this will never happen and maybe it won't. However, that is the trend.


BMW is selling heated seat subscriptions? My car (SUV), not a BMW, has heated and chilled seats, along with heated mirrors, heated steering wheel and zoned climate control. I wonder how much extra a month BMW would charge for that? I don't see charging an extra monthly fee to unlock options on a vehicle being a sustainable plan. Most consumers will just buy something else that doesn't fee you to death.

Translation? : We don't want you using any batteries but ours.???
Same with printer ink?


Some third party batteries are ok and some are not. There's more to oem Canon and Nikon batteries than just a few storage cells. I have a few third party LP-E6 batteries, that were not cheap, that have given me no problems at all. A while back I took apart a Canon LP-E6 battery to replace the dead cells and compared it to a cheap knockoff LP-E6 battery and the cheap one didn't have the circuitry the good one had. I also did the same comparison to a high end third party LP-E6 battery and it too was loaded with circuitry. If you're going to buy aftermarket stuff, get the good aftermarket stuff, and avoid being bitten...

Remember the Canon commercial where the guy was shooting his family and the camera caught on fire because of a cheap LP-E6 knockoff battery?!

Interesting. Asking $30 for a book about a camera that's worth about $30.

I don't mind a small tattoo on a female's ankle or shoulder but in my opinion, it has gone too far. I hate seeing a female with a really beautiful body covered neck to toe with tattoos. I like seeing the beauty of pure unadulterated acres of skin! A few years ago it seemed heavily tattooed women were usually overweight or homely looking. Now it seems I see more and more beautiful women with way too much tattooing. I guess I'm looking at this mainly from a photography standpoint. A local photographer has models take off all jewelry other than small earrings. He claims excess jewelry is distracting and takes away from the natural beauty of the model. The heavy tattooing is even worse.

Years ago the one place I saw heavily tattooed women was the local tap room/strip joint, and for the most part, the dancers were neither overweight or in the least bit homely. Although all my daughters have at least one tattoo, one of my daughters has way to many, in my opinion, and she is tall, has zero excess body fat and is quite a good looking woman, a college graduate, registered nurse and has three daughters of her own. I personally don't care for all her body art but she likes it and so does her boyfriend/future husband. Whatever floats her boat.

A bird flu has killed 14% of this year's turkeys. Don't expect traditional sales - or maybe even a turkey.

We must be living in a simulation that's being run by sadists.


There's no turkey shortage in my area. The grocery stores appear to have plenty of them and the buy X amount of groceries and get a free turkey campaigns are all kicking off. I already bought one and it's currently happily frozen in my chest freezer.

You are full of something…but accurate facts on iPhone costs don’t appear to be on the list.

Recurring production cost for an iPhone is $550-$600…but that does not include overhead, development cost R&D for new products, etc, etc…and profit is in there as well. It took me 5 seconds of googling to find a summer 22 article on the production unit cost…but you should learn the difference between unit cost and total cost.

Apple makes a profit…because…hmmm…that’s what a corporation is supposed to do. Others chase market share because ‘we will make it up in volumes…Apple prefers to sell a premium product at a premium price.

This is an argument very similar to cars, watches, camera, and every other product. Buy what you want…but some people want a Ferrari, Rolex, or Nikon…and some people choose other brands because in their view the other brand better suits their needs.

That's pretty far away. I wonder if they have Madagascar dogs in New Zealand?

Don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but the economy has been effed up for a while. Maybe you could produce a spreadsheet that would explain why?


I believe it is fallout from Covid.

It’s only money. Buy what you can justify/afford. There is obviously a market for luxury goods in many categories but we get to make our own choices. Apple is certainly not guilty of price gouging since they are in a highly competitive market.


Price gouging? How much profit do you believe Apple makes on each iPhone they sell? I'll give you a little hint. The cost to manufacture them isn't even triple digit.
