Occam's razor meme

It can also read you mind in 500,000 different alien languages, and women can charge it just by holding it in their cleavages (if they don't mind the automated selfies).

Huh, I'd consider that phone if it has:

- a removable battery so I can be sure it's off
- hardware disable switches for cell signal, wifi, bluetooth; again, I want to really be able to turn the fucker off
- a non-Google OS, so not Android

As teens, my friends and I used to deliberately fishtail on the ice on the road. Was fun until a we skidded into a ditch. No harm done, but we stopped after that.

Driving on snow and ice is a distinct skill you develop over time. I still find it funny how no one in California seems capable of it on the rare occasions when it snows.

The easiest way to do fishtail on snow was by pulling the hand breaks in front wheel drive cars. It blocks the rear wheels and rest was just steering. Fun, fun.

Allegedly exists. Linux OS. Some with Kill Switch options.

Kids are fun if she accepts the fact that she is a mother!

A lot of things are meaningful without always being fun.

Yes, but more things are fun without being meaningful.
