      In the distant future when we no longer have actual phones and the technology is just embedded directly under the skin(!)

      Not this guy. Call me a Luddite but if I make it long enough for transhumanistic things like embedding computers in our bodies to unfold there is no way in hell I would ever trust anyone with wiring into my brain, especially given what tech companies are demonstrating these days vis a vis mass surveillance.

      Think it, be it.

          They can watch me if they want. I’m sure it will be premium viewing. I kind of like the thought of Pete Hegseth watching me masturbate.

            Is that grounds for dishonorable discharge?

                @mclaincausey totally agree, I am the same and I pretty much despise having to even have a mobile phone - but I think its not too difficult to see where all this technology is heading.....

                  @Darth-fader yeah phones already are mass surveillance nodes, imagine not being able to rid yourself of it—ever.

                      Two strands of market lights in our back yard were ripped out of the brick of our house where they were attached by a windstorm. Broken glass all over the deck, drain tile rocks, grass, and driveway. It is going to be an overwhelming set of chores to make the back yard remotely safe for the dog and us and I feel there will be inevitable issues. What a huge bummer. Shatterproof market lights next time (honestly they probably should all be at least for outdoors).

                                  @mclaincausey bummer man, sorry for your trouble. Funny you mention those lights though, i just hung a bunch around the perimeter of our back yard along the wood line. I do worry about them getting taken out by sticks in the wind but now i'm def glad they're not glass. Govee brand or something, with an app to change colors and stuff. They lack the charm of incandescent glass bulbs but the gimmicks are cool.

                                      I’m sure I’ve said this before but why is Sonic Youth not in the R&R HOF? This makes zero sense. Soundgarden and The White Stripes before Sonic Youth?!?!

                                        @Matt seems like something they would turn down if offered

                                        But im with you - they should at least be given the right to turn it down

                                            It’s pretty much a “Pay to Play” kind of deal. These days it’s getting filled with tossers who have nothing to do with Rock and Roll anyway.
