That’s good!

ohhh ok. My dad had said I would most likely be getting an SE, so I was beyond satisfied with an 11

The SE is essentially the 8 except remade.

If the entire town's sinks and sewers empty directly into the creek, I suspect the anacharis is the least of their problems.

Good point.

That’s actually an artificial torch, lol. I hope to get a real one some day, that is, once my tank is mature.

The clowns sometimes host in it - that’s the only reason hey I haven’t removed it yet.

'Random discussion'...working with a lad who genuinely believed that he was The Son of God.
He told me that his psychiatrist had told him that it was 'a delusion of grandeur.'
He was quite affronted by this and exclaimed;
"A delusion of grandeur!?! It's not, absolutely not...I'm quite humble about it."

I still use an iphone 6s plus which I bought used for $230 3 years ago. At one point, I had cracked the screen...replaced myself in half an hour. I have replaced battery 3 times. It still work great....good camera, it's still failry fast on loading websites, it makes phone calls. It has an earphone jack and uses touch id. I see no need to upgrade unless performance degrades due to no longer getting updates from Apple later this year.

Sometimes it genuinely is the “best bang for your buck“ and often times there are very specific needs/reasons behind which phone an individual chooses.

i haven't taken a picture of myself in nearly a decade, and i don't really use my phone for anything so i don't have a reason to upgrade. i don't even know why i have one in the first place, i prefer computers.
for the thousand that it costs to buy a new phone, you could buy a super high-quality camera, so the argument of wanting better photos doesn't make sense.
i guess i'll never understand the foolish craze of constantly upgrading phones, and i'm happy that i don't because i can spend that money on aquariums instead

They really are much better than previous models.

The iPhone 12, 12 pro, and 12 pro max all have the ceramic shield on the screen, making it 4x harder than any other previous screen. The camera lenses also have sapphire glass, which is the most scratch resist camera glass yet.

The cameras themselves are also 10x better. Not only do they have the standard (for phones newer than 2019) 12mp, but they also have a 12mp ultra wide and a 4K lense.

The phones themselves also have a lot of updated features, such as 5G, better Bluetooth, water resistant, etc.

I still remember the excitement of having our first landline installed…prior to that it was the phone box by the newsagent…and we went out without an adult…I wonder how so many of us survived…

Hey, pal, what's the big idea, posting aquarium-related content on this thread? I'm not sure that's allowed.

I'm with you. I still use an LG flip phone. I just want to be able to call and (reluctantly) text. Online Addiction is a real thing, and I don't need the added distraction. Living in the moment is enough of a challenge without the entire internet riding in my pocket!
