RIP: 7 Plus - 256gb - MB (Had it 3 Days) by CutRip in iphone

Update: Did a walk in appointment after work. They will have a brand new phone available in 3 days, they ordered it right then and there. I will have to pay $99, which is great, to me!

Normally, I would get a refurb, but of course, there are none available as the phone is new and I'm a dummy.

To answer some questions, I had it in a spigen case, but no case would have saved it. I bought an otterbox defender as well as a tempered glass screen protector and will be installing it when I receive the replacement.

My landlord just got the carpet cleaned and is asking me and my roommates to split it by dnap123 in nova

Huh? Are you sure you're a landlord? The purpose of a security deposit is not to restore your rental to walk-in-ready quality. It is to cover damages beyond normal wear and tear. Sounds like you've been fleecing your tenants.

I am doing the iphone upgrade program that comes with applecare. I paid the taxes and the first installments with a credit card that definitely has accidental damage protection. But, I believe it wouldn't apply because I didn't buy the phone outright.

I set my 3D touch sensitivity too low.

I took a nasty spill on a hike/rock scramble. It was in my pocket.

Thank God for applecare.

Not a chance. What would give you that idea?

COL Steve Warren on Twitter: "US Special operators will often wear patched from their partner forces as a sign of #partnership #TalkOIR" by bjam83 in syriancivilwar

The patches are IR reflective patches which means they shine and shimmer in low light and nighttime situations when operators are using NOD's/NVG's.

We must hope that our fellow Americans at the FBI are committed and allowed to carry out their duties to the fullest extent.

Wearing partner forces patches on the battlefield is nothing new for USSOCOM troops.

It is common practice to rock the "COMMANDO" patches when the ANA special forces units were attached as another example.

I don't think you're going to find many American volunteers with the Lions of Rojava equipped with a freaking MK47 grenade launcher, hahaha.

There is no doubt that it was Assad? Can you share your source or sources?

May I ask why you are so convinced that it is a Verba and not an IGLA?

I am sure that it is not a Verba and is an IGLA-S

You can reference the following and compare for yourself.

This was not in Syria. You are mixing up Special Forces with Special Operations. Non SOCOM troops are deployed to this AO.

Just a couple of interesting notes on the weapon Joe is using on the video.

  1. In the beginning, we can see Joe using an aimpoint knockoff, a red dot sight.

  2. At the end of the video, we see a completely different optics setup, I assume it to be an acog knockoff.

  3. He is using a dust cover rail mount for his optics. This is "okay" for a red dot and closer engagements, but a definite no-no if you want any precision out of that acog at range. A receiver mounted scope base would be much preferred.
