Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Good luck with your change endeavors.
A good family friend told me something just as I was starting my career that after about 5 years (on average) at any job you start seeing more bad things than good. I'm coming up at about 7 years at my current workplace and of lately I seem to dislike more things at work than I like. My second job it was almost instantaneous dislike, how I managed 5 years there is a mystery.
Good luck with your change endeavors.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Thank you for the extended version, it was an interesting read. The in-hand feel is very important so I get why you mentioned that. Question for you though, if you had the chance to get a G7 or the V35, do you think that you would regret the thing that you would miss from the other one? It does sound like the V35 would be technically better for you.

My preference is the V35 because I like that design more. But, it is expensive for no real reason. I'd be good with using the G7.
There isn't anything I would regret from the G7 if I got the V35. There isn't anything from the V35 I'd regret from getting the G7.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Thanks for the well wishes though. I'll figure it out as I usually do. A lot of it if I do go forward I won't like initially, though. That's the part that ain't sitting with me I haven't settled yet.
If I were only talking about job changes, that'd be one thing. I'm putting off making widespread changes, and that's something else entirely.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Had it and I'm still generally curious about him. This date felt different from the other one. He is very authentic, which is really attractive to me. He's a straight shooter in the questions he asked me. He seems to really like me and we seem to be wanting some of the same general things. He actually seems fine with the wanting no children thing (which is a big thing for me)...
It also sounds like he would like to see me again, which I wouldn't mind. We will see.

Whoa, this is surprising to me that you got a Key1. So does this mean that you have a 8+, Idol 4S and KeyOne now? It's good to hear that this is working better for you.

That's not good. I imagine there are lots of folks standing during busy times.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Yup. Plus some members of the housing insecure (homeless) population often sleep in a few of the subway cars, so...That's not good. I imagine there are lots of folks standing during busy times.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Every time I got into a HRA building, I'm transported back to 1975 (which includes the software used to apply for assistance).
If politricikians really wanted to see what their policies are doing firsthand, go sit in a public housing project building that's virtually uninhabitable with a resident who has complicated medical conditions (that has no where else to go). Go sit in an HRA office where there are signs up (and security) reminding people that if you assualt workers, it's a felony - because people in their own frustration from their desperation take it out on the workers trying to do their jobs.
It never sits well with me as this country generates enough money that it can be prosperous IN SPITE of what gets wasted. Instead of focusing on cleaning up wasted $ to be diverted into ventures that work, it's all about "cutting funding".
It'll never sit well with me. Which is why I grind through the full**** that is the day to day on the clock.
WP regulars: "Do you like being a SW?"
MIA: "If you mean do I get any emotional gratification or satisfaction from saying my efforts alone was able to help someone, the answer is no."
WP regulars: "then why do it?"
MIA: "I don't like to see injustice, exploitation and people taken advantage of and or being cast aside. I'm just trying to help people in the same way if I'm down and out, someone would do for me."

Actually the current lineup is Galaxy S8+, iPhone 8+ and the Key 1. I sold the Idol to a WC member who I know will give it a loving home.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
It's come down to deciding it's better to deal with nags that crop up every now and then than deal with irritating s**t every GD day.
On paper it is. The S8+ is a very good device that is hampered by terrible ergonomics and the worst Android skin ever. The iPhone is equally good as long as you're ok with Apple's way or the highway. It simply refuses to play nice with non-Apple apps or peripherals. The BlackBerry has its own set of issues but they're easier to deal with.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Mine is the Pixel 2 as the daily driver and the Mi Mix 2 as the casual gaming/tablet replacement. The Mix 2 isn't the daily due to the lack of ingress protection and 3.5mm. The best replacement for my tablet would have been the Mi Mix, but I wasn't able to find one. The HTC 10 is a project phone that once repaired is a collection piece, like the 950XL.
I still want to add another device or two for the primary rotation to push the Pixel 2 and Mix 2 to the bench. They're both very good phones, but...I'd like something with better battery life.
It's still a solid set up you have.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
What do you think, worth the 30€ more compared to iPad 2018?

If the iPad is not a Pro version then I think it's worth it. I'm really enjoying my M5 Pro.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
The processor is the same for regular and Pro, so go ahead and get the Huawei over the regular iPad.
