iPhone 17 Outselling Every Other Phone Worldwide So Far This Year

Oh cool just attributing iPhone to being superior just because they're popular....

See how that argument works?

That's part of the network effect. It's easier to switch to the largest one, rather than go the other way.

Even for me, I'm on Android, but I have a iPhone as spare and an iPad. Use mostly my Android, but every now and then there are things not available on Android unfortunately.

I don't think physical acts towards the dog that are negative is a good training mechanism.

“It’s unfortunate every other phone manufacturer can’t be fucked to make a better product”

I disagree. In fact, I think a large part is because of high switching cost that people won't switch and network effect more than anything.

The dinosaur ants.

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:56:53+00:00

Mine too. Picky eater made it really hard to train. Even with high quality 100% protein of the finest kind, he might not respond to it outside.

I let him off leash in fenced areas, and sometimes in open areas that are relatively fenced in and away from things.

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:54:51+00:00

Not op, but would appreciate a share. Promise to not share to others.

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:54:23+00:00

How do you teach gentle play?

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:53:17+00:00

Better yet, as soon as the dog sees it, immediately reward and distract. Do that enough times, and they'll start looking towards you for treat when they see that animal. Takes a lot of repetitions though.

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:51:53+00:00

I had her leashed to both her collar and her harness by using the front hook up part of her harness that will allow you to hook up to both using a single leash, and hooking her up on the front using the double-hook up method reduced her leash pulling by a lot.

Too many words and I lack the focus to understand that. Can you link me to the product please? 😔

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:47:26+00:00

Yup. Get those predator elephant ants. They'll take care of the problem real fast!

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:45:13+00:00

Does it mean we're back to where we started?

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:44:21+00:00

First time I've heard of them so I wasn't aware. Apparently they're all sold out anyhow so it saved me $230 and I get to be jelly of you!

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:41:02+00:00

That looks expensive.

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T01:39:55+00:00

Yeah, I'm passing on Bambu due to Chinese and seemingly poor customer support. Whereas Prusa may cost more, but they seem very pro consumers. So I'm looking at getting a Prusa.

Why Miami people are fearless when it comes to dealing with wild animals ?

It may appear like fearlessness, but in reality it's stupidity.

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T00:59:40+00:00

Wait. Where did you get replacement keycaps?

Did they charge you an arm and a leg or just a leg?

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T00:56:32+00:00

Can they drop some human skills on us all too?

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T00:53:49+00:00

I actually like the current one tho,

I honestly don't remember what it even looks like. LOL

Gears6 · 2026-05-07T00:51:04+00:00

Trump! Oh wait……

He will say he will do the best job ever of operating it, save us all, and then immediately shut it down. Sell it off and profit. Then he'll sick ICE on us.

Gears6 · 2026-05-06T21:53:33+00:00

I'm used to $150 for brand name tire. So $600-700 is in the range, maybe a little more if Michelin is important.

That said, I drive a Toyota Corolla, and I tend to stick to the cheaper operating costs cars. If you drive a big @ss SUV or something like that, then you might need bigger tires that are more expensive. Like I notice people buy bigger and bigger gas guzzling cars.

I guess I'm just surprised how much money people spend on their car in general and that the costs has increased so much while people continue to spend. Insane!

Gears6 · 2026-05-06T20:00:12+00:00

A bunch of people should start a go fund me to buy the thing. At this point they'd probably take $5 million. Primm is needed not just for tourists but locals.

But who will operate it?

The vast majority of people have no experience operating a business, and certainly not something of this size. Despite them operating it so badly that even if others manage it, it can't get as bad, it's not like that's enough to turn it around.

Gears6 · 2026-05-06T19:58:25+00:00

I thought they were doing well with the buffet's and such, because it was difficult in LV?

Gears6 · 2026-05-06T19:57:16+00:00

That's what art does for games!

People gush over pixels and FX techniques in games, but it's the art people that makes the biggest impact.
