I can just see them responding to the EU like, "Yeah, we'll allow other people to build app stores for iOS. They just need a dev account that we won't approve. That's not us specifically blocking alternate app stores though."

Apple also intentionally made the green bubble contrast worse so that iPhone users would have eyestrain when conversing with non-iPhone users.

So this is 7 Days to Die then?

I have a GM vehicle I like. I already don't pay them for OnStar. I'm certainly not going to pay them to replace my phone. And then likely have to pay for cellular access for my car.

Well. And maybe the new house doesn't support their bed.

That sounds like when my wife set out some no-kill mice traps, but then never inspected them.

During the middle of summer.

When it hit 115 F.

She agreed that kill traps would be more humane going forward.

I don't think I've ever heard of a carefree Republican.

If you want the analogy to be correct, you need the men side of your story to actively sabotage the stairs or push the child to make them fall.

Or the women trying to add or repair hand rails to make them safer, and the men saying "No that won't prevent falls." And actively prevent any repairs.

I tend to just talk to other people's kids (and mine) as if they were adults. I absolutely detest it when people speak to my kids in those high pitched sing-songy voices, and so do my kids.

Don't fake or force anything. For a younger kid like the 3 year old, I might squat down or kneel so as to be at eye level with them. Sure, the 3 year old probably won't be the best conversationalist or have similar interests to you. But if you can make small talk with an adult, you can ask a child what interests them or what they did recently that they thought was neat. Maybe they'll talk about a show they watched recently and you can ask who their favorite character is and why.

Children are just adults with fewer experiences and different concerns.

Shit, close to 10 years after we stopped playing, my wife was playing WOW and someone was all, "Icarii... from Corbantis? I bought so many weapons off you, yours were the best!"

Did you hear the one about the homeopathic who tried to commit suicide?

He took a 10X dilution of cyanide.

Just wait, Apple will solve this with a rubber o-ring and will receive heaps of praise for their innovation.

An old boss of mine would find people who left their computer logged in and would send an email to the department from it saying "I love you all so much!"

I worked in a different office and didn't realize that's what was happening. I just thought the Russian guy was happy to be in America.
