Because they have to play to the "better" folks, who lets be honest - pay for all this crap. They have to have a "Better" phone than their peers. That phone has to have "Better" specs for them to brag about. Those specs better include a "Better" camera to brag to their peers about.

How else do they keep getting idiots (that don't have jobs that pay for them) to buy every new $1,000 phone that comes out, when we all know 99.9998% of them will only use them for selfies and social media and will not use 99.9998% of what the phone is capable of?

It doesn't require 4 giant camera lenses to do that though. Google has mastered the art of AI with their single lens (Pixel 3).

I ride my exercise bike in front of a TV that I have one of my PCs connected to, sometimes I watch some videos or surf the web and using a regular mouse is a royal PITA, so I'm going to give this a shot, free returns if I don't like it:

Have you ever tried Fulgaz while you're riding? Maybe not as entertaining as a movie, but it does give you some nice scenery as if you were really riding. You can watch the videos free if you don't need them to be interactive with your bike. Just click on one and set it to full screen.

Pretty.

Now play something for us.

You could, you know. Have someone record you playing then post it on YouTube.

I'm sure you play good.

Thanks! 2 reasons for no YouTube. 1) My music is not YouTube ready yet. 2) My mug will never be YouTube ready!

You don't have to show yourself (I'm sure it would be okay, though).

Not trying to pressure you. Do it if you want, or not. We love you either way, HubbaBubba.

When the time is right, I will. Until 6 weeks ago I had not touched a guitar for 3+ decades. Got some practicing to do first!

Yep. Completely understand.

I played the trumpet when I was a kid. Was pretty good, too.

Do not have the cajones to pick one up and try it again, so my hat's off to you.

Life is too short, my friend. Rent one for a month and see if it is something you want to get back into? After the Tommie's trip, we can jam!

Congrats! I'm shopping for jeans this morning for the same reason. The 30's are leaving me looking like 90's 2Pac.

Thx guys, appreciated.

Was a combo of zero sugar, low carb, strict scheduled meals and only 3 times a day, no nibbles... lost in between 6,2kg and a trouser which has layed more than 7 years into my closet fits again.
Great feeling, now increasing muscles and keep the weight healthy.
