iPhone 8 screens are as slick as ice. My office mailbox is located on a marina on Lake Union in Seattle. This morning when grabbing the mail I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dropped it on the marina. Phone then proceeded to slide right into the lake…. Was able to fish it out with a net. Last time I don't buy Applecare.
ouch ???

I really couldn't do anything but laugh the situation was so ridiculous. I could literally look down to the bottom and see my phone sitting there with the screen on. Wish I got a picture but obviously didn't have a phone.
I guess I was due. I got my first cell phone going into college in 2004, yesterday was the first time I have ever had to prematurely replace a phone due to damage. Every other time I've replaced a phone it was after a solid 3-5 years of use and was retired because it was fried.

I got my first cell phone in 2000, and it is the only one I've ever broken. I dropped it on a hardwood floor from about 2-3 feet, and initially, everything seemed fine. It wasn't until the next day that I discovered the 7, 8, and 9 buttons had stopped working. Doh!

Good luck @Matty123

Thanks @ROman my MRI has been postponed while my health insurance company collects more info from my doctors. A hassle, but it is what it is. Regardless, I’ve missed a week of work and tomorrow I have to work, even if I can’t drive myself there. ???

That really sucks….

Yeah but I’m luckier than a lot of people so it’s ok. It could always be worse. Thanks man. How did you make out down there with the hurricane? All your people ok? Home and cats are good?

There are those that are self aware, and then there are those who have no self awareness. People who think they have life figured out, really have no self awareness.
I love my idiosyncratic traits.
I don't understand the purpose of science fiction. I don't understand the love of cars that have the capability of far exceeding the speed limit of the country in which their owner lives. I don't understand the purpose of emoji
I don't understand online concepts such as trolling. Oh the world we have created. I'm off to middle earth.

While I can get onboard with most of what you’re saying, the bit I just quoted confuses me a little. Sci-fi is a broad church but a fairly constant theme is the exploration of contentious issues in contemporary society through a lens that is liberated from comtemporay mores. That is fascinating stuff and their are countless examples of sci-fi both predicting and elucidating societal and political developments and paradigm shifts. Of course if you’re thinking about Star Wars, then that’s another matter entirely as it isn’t really sci-fi.
