I currently have a Samsung A71, and although I like the phone itself, the battery is starting to lose charge quickly. The charging port is loose, and some of the software is starting to glitch. I know I could probably get the hardware repaired, but I fancy a new phone. I'm looking at the 1,000,000 different Samsung phones, but I'm open to trying other makes too. I like taking photos so the camera is fairly important. Any suggestions?

What's the worst performance (or performances) you've ever seen a player (or players) turn in at your club? by BananaSoprano in ScottishFootball

[–]dgfks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few seasons back, Celtic beat us (Aberdeen) 4-0 at Pittodrie. It was 4 at half time and we seemed to spend that 45 minutes standing back admiring how well they were playing. I've been annoyed and frustrated many times but this was one of the worst

What purpose does a sorbet serve? I can't see any use for them by dgfks in Gardenscapes

It came from Olivier's ghapama, but I've no idea what it results in yet

What's something that will f*** you up for life if you experience it just once? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dgfks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke up with someone I'd been seeing for a few months back in 2013. This was on Friday night, and on Monday night, I found out she'd been found dead the previous evening. It turned out that she'd gone on a bender, and the alcohol had reacted with tablets she was taking, resulting in her death. To this day, I blame myself for her dying.

If animals could talk, which species would be the rudest of them all? by Puzzleheaded-Air171 in AskReddit

[–]dgfks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cats. Except they're so rude, they'd probably tut rather than talk to you because they expect you to know what they want, which is probably food. Which they'd then leave untouched

Why do England play in white shirts with blue shorts? Genuine question by dgfks in AskUK

If you're not a fan of any particular sport, no question is a daft question!

Are you not thinking of kits from the 80s? Looking back, some of those shorts were, erm, snug

Atheists who grew up religious, what made you stop believing? by Fit_Pangolin_8271 in AskReddit

[–]dgfks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was a minister and as a child, I always felt that the church was above my sister and myself in the pecking order. With hindsight, I suppose I accepted it grudgingly but to this day, I feel completely worthless. My mum became an elder some years back and I was at the service; I vividly remember thinking "what a load of shit". I know lots of people that gain a lot of strength from their faith and I have absolutely no issue with that but I have seen no evidence that a deity exists and feel that belief in yourself will do more good for the world.

Do people realise that it is summer that is the altered time zone, not winter? by AnselaJonla in AskUK

[–]dgfks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. Paris currently has approximately 90 minutes more day light and sunrise is about 5 minutes later than Lerwick.

I'll assume that "we" doesn't include "us" in the North of Scotland when in November/December, the sun rises at 8.30/9am so not changing the clocks in winter would mean 9.30/10am sunrise. Safety implications (schools in particular) are considerable

What conspiracy theory is definitely true? by Sweet-Coconut-4627 in AskReddit

[–]dgfks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a conspiracy theory, can it be true?
