| Topic | Charlie Kirk funeral to be held in football stadium. |
| TheSuperSilver 09/13/25 7:45:14 PM #16 | In a whole football stadium. Is this after he lies in state at the Capitol for three days and before he's interred with proper military honors at Arlington? That seems to be the direction this thing is going. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

| TheSuperSilver 09/13/25 7:37:15 PM #19 | Born and raised in Delaware and met then Senator Biden during a 3rd grade field trip to Congress. Got a class picture with him where he personally signed it and addressed me by name. I still have the picture. ...but I can't criticize the pushback he's getting here. I remember literally waving a WTF flag when he announced he was running for a second term. All he had to do was be the transitional candidate he said he was going to be. He and his inner circle ****ed that up and now (and for the foreseeable future) the country is paying the price. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

| Topic | What's the best Android app for recording phone calls? |
| TheSuperSilver 09/09/25 5:55:01 PM #3 | Samsung as of One UI 7 has the ability to record calls natively through the stock phone app. With Galaxy AI you can also get a transcript. Pretty sure Google has something similar with the Pixel line. So bottom line is that you don't need to download anything extra to enable this. Just go into the app and toggle on some switches. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

| Topic | Ever been guilt tripped into going to a wedding? |
| TheSuperSilver 08/31/25 9:52:49 AM #12 | Weddings are great and my wife and I try to attend when we can. You don't sound interested in going so do your co-workers a favor and politely decline the invitation if it's not too late. Weddings are a happy and celebratory time so I wouldn't want anyone at my wedding who didn't want to be there. However you were invited to begin with so don't be a stiff and be sure to drop the newlyweds a reasonable gift. They're your co-workers after all so being a grouch at their wedding and/or not leaving a gift would lead to awkwardness at the job. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
| Topic | Well my wife said she is done and ready to leave |
| TheSuperSilver 08/31/25 8:09:20 AM #53 | I think we are just having very diverging views on life and she doesn't like when I try to say something isn't a big deal (or encourage her to resolve it in, what I think is a rational way) and I don't really like how she will just complain for extended amounts of time about other people without showing any interest in wanting to address it with them.Classic case of miscommunication and misunderstanding each other.

| TheSuperSilver 08/30/25 10:38:02 PM #36 | We live in a timeline Iphone SE will granted more support then budget Androids for the same price point.Well that's a lie. Current budget options from Galaxy or Pixel will give 5-6 years of OS upgrades and additional years of security patches through firmware updates and the Play Store. The only real advantage Android has over iOS these days is more hardware options and more budget models being accessible.How about capability?

| Topic | How do you feel about the Galaxy Watch 8 series? |
| TheSuperSilver 08/30/25 9:58:21 AM #7 | My daily driver is a Galaxy Watch Ultra from which the Watch 8 series inherited the cushion design. Frankly, I like it. The watch sits wide on the wrist for even weight distribution so even though the watch case is a hefty 47mm it wears much lighter/smaller than the size suggests if that makes sense. Of course the Ultra is made from titanium so I'm sure that helps as well. The regular Watch 8 is both smaller and lighter than the Ultra so that thing must feel like nothing on the wrist. The cushion design also has practical applications because the metal casing would help prevents damage to the screen and serves as some protection. I'll also add that if you're thinking of going from a 6 Classic to an 8 Classic, the 46mm 8 Classic actually has a smaller screen than the 47mm 6 Classic. However the screen of the 8 is brighter at 3000 nits versus 2000 nits for the 6. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

Biden was in even worse health than Trump back in 2021 and his handlers managed to drag him through to the finish line so I don't think Trump will have a problem lasting until 2028.Was Biden literally rotting before our eyes with suspicious bruising on his hands?

| Topic | Well my wife said she is done and ready to leave |
| TheSuperSilver 08/27/25 9:58:34 AM #11 | Hexenherz posted... Together 15 years, married 13. Talked about marriage counseling, she goes between "it's too embarrassing" to "it's not going to fix anything I already know what they're going to say".Together almost 15 years, married for 6 years next month, and we have a 3 year old daughter. One thing I've learned in our time together is that no matter what disputes and arguments we have, I've never reached the point where I've just not cared enough to fix it either through discussion with her or marriage counseling. It's like I could be upset at her for one thing or the other but I'll eventually say to myself "what the hell am I doing?" and work with her to fix our problems. I entered this topic initially hoping to endorse counseling (which my wife and I used earlier on before we got married and during a rough patch shortly after marriage) but reading your post above makes me wonder why you guys married in the first place. You guys need to think about what it was that drew you two together. Sometimes after 15 years of being together you may forget but you must try to rekindle that flame. With my wife and I sometimes we get so caught up in our careers and parenting that we forget that we're still a couple and maybe sometimes that's why we have occassional problems. The other day we dropped our daughter off for her first day of preschool and I thought it would be great for my wife and I to have breakfast together somewhere and just kind of talk about our history and how we now have a kid in school. Married couples need moments like that. I guess my follow up to your post is that that is your wife aware of the damage that is done to a child with divorced parents? I came from a great home but my wife's parents initially separated and later divorced through her teen years (her mom is a control freak who I can't stand which is why I suspect her father ultimately decided to leave/cheat on her). Your wife should think long and hard about what a divorce means for your child's well-being.

| Topic | Do you prefer wireless earbuds or wireless headphones? |
| TheSuperSilver 08/23/25 10:05:17 AM #36 | I have both and they each have their use cases but I think I gravitate more towards my over-ear headphones. The sound is better/immersive, they're more comfortable over the long haul, and the battery obviously lasts much longer. Wireless buds have their use cases such as if I want to be more discreet or if I'm traveling and desire to pack super light. But just thinking about it, if I were scheduled for international trip somewhere there's a greater than 80% chance I'm taking the headphones. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

Unless the severed nerve was later repaired and what this OT is saying is the fact that this nerve was severed at one point and could've been a potential cause of the arrest.
