^I tried explaining it with the spoon theory the last time I had to. Went surprisingly well.
I've used the spoon theory as an explanation for years. Then I switched spoons to cell phone batteries and the need to charge them, for the younger set because it resonated more than spoons. :laugh:

Got my son's phone screen repaired - cost £109.  He's had it back for two days and smashed it again.
This is why I make my daughter use Otterbox for her phone. And also, why I have to use it for myself because I'm not much better :laugh:

I miss Nokia 3310s. The fuckers were indestructible.
Yeah. I had a spare, just in case, but  neither phone ever got destroyed, as such.  I over-customised one to take multiple sims (back when you could save a shedload of money by calling your friends on the same network they used) which just became annoying and cumbersome  eventually, can't clearly  recall what happened to the other, but replaced them eventually with a very similar basic Nokia that's survived nicely, just sems to have problems holding its charge nowadays, in spite of fitting new cell.

I don't need to  video everything i see ,  read my emails on the train, show cat memes to everyone i meet,  and all that shit. would  sooner have a life, if possible ,  thanks.  Have fierccely resisted  moving to a smartpone.  and you guys just reminded  me  of another very  good reason why stick with basic phones.

I;ve ben looking at Doro phones lately, because b ig buttons, simple interface and robust design are a must for me. But they've got scores of new designs now, even including smarphones for old codgers.  ooh!  ahh...ummm.  OK, so now I'm finally  tempted but also frozen in a state of extreme  indecision.

I thought maybe I should have a smartphone so i could use Uber like everybody else, and save money on taxi fares. But you don't  want to know what i think of Uber, at present.  So scratch that.

Eeny, meeny, miny , mo...any better ideas for making a choice before the current phone dies completely?

Luckily the guy that said I scared people blocked me on Facebook because of his MAGAite views... and I've been happier since

I break things and void warranties it's what I do and I have found the Kyocera Duraforce Pro 2 pretty good so far.  I can't remember how many times I've dropped it a few times more than 10 feet and it's been underwater  all without a case.

Luckily I kept some stuff for my portfolio, because I'm now locked out of everything. :tard:

Problem is, my payslips are digital only... and I need to download them. I'll call HR on Monday.

UV curing glue seems to be almost impossible to buy in a store  sure they say they have in in stock at the store  but they never do

There are no painters that want to touch my stairwell with a 10 foot pole.
Is the job really that bothersome?

I've never seen it for sale in UK shops but I have bought it from abroad online.  I suspect it's not sold here due to the carcinogen warnings on the tubes.
