I'm considering tossing the smartphone for the quiet simple life.

Im pretty moderate with it. Maybe im bored with it and long for more creative stimuli.

Go ahead and insert joke.

Meh. If it's because you want to lower your bills then go for it. If you're gonna go all Thoreauvian life on us because of annoying people on the bus then that's not a good reason imo.

I don't think it's the phone, it's facebook.  Take facebook off your phone, cut your facebook friends to 2 digits, only go on it a couple times a week(if at all), and never post on it.  Remember when you could meet up with a friend and they'd tell you about what's going on?   That doesn't work when you have a news feed of their life.

Kudos for the Thoreau ref.

Its not people in transit. However, theres something to be said about more walks of life talking.

i was browsing for some "dumb" phones today. I'm leaning more towards it.

 

i refuse to be a robotic follower in life. i just don't have it in my DNA.

 

A while back, we were at Toys R Us and it seemed like everything was on sale. I picked up one of these for like $4. It cost me $20 to put 240 minutes on it, and then I plan on spending another 20 every six months to keep it activated. At worst it'll be a backup phone. Four bucks for a phone, house and car charger, case, and sucky earpiece. 10 years ago that would have been the deal of the century.

Does that have a 41.3-megapixel FSI CMOS image sensor?

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
