      Didn’t try the chop, despite everyone saying it’s all about the chop there.  Fuck me for not listening.  But fuck them for being a “steakhouse” and the pork chop being the only good thing on the menu.

    i've take it you haven't been to all the shaggy g2g at perrys steakhouse?

    Want my analyses? You are an idiot. Perhaps not as dumb as your Jesus boy hero idiot, but one nonetheless.

    You keep ignoring two huge elephants in the room.

    1. He completely disregarded the health and livelihood of the people you seem to think he cared so much about by potentially introducing deadly pathogens to the island.

    2. If he was so well versed in their culture and language, he should have known and respected that these people want to be left alone. They don’t want outsiders on their island.

    What don’t you fucking understand about that? It makes not a single shit how noble you or he thinks his intentions were. He was selfish, foolish and prideful. Fuck him and I feel not one bit of sadness for a dipshit that gets what’s coming to him in the face of all that.

    Was William Carey wrong to bring his faith to India? Was he wrong to help bring an end to Sati and to help make child sacrifice illegal? How about the schools and the hospitals that were started as a result of his theological belief that all people were equal and deserved care regardless of which caste they were in?

    i applaud that, in 2018, your holding on to the notion of mission civilisatrice, as noble and commendable.

    he was neither. he loved God and studied and grew to love the Sentinelese.   Again, he went there to live there, learn the language, culture and ways of the Sentinelese. He was prepared to live there on that island for years.  He had trained to learn the language,  learn how to preserve and unpreserved language, to survive in the wild and to become part of their society.  He wasn't a colonialist, he was a missionary.  These two have very important distinctions that have been blurred (in large part due to the fault of early expressions of these two classifications which could indeed be both).  

     

    imposing himself in a place where he's a banned, unlawful, and expressly unwanted presence ... you know that behavior is either stalking, or terrorism

    Once they get a Starbuck's they'll really have everything.

    We were there on TG week and wife insisted on going to Starbucks.  Multiple times.

     

    No comment.

     

    Though we were able to make a stop at Lugers which was nice.

    This is fantastic on Steph's part..... Dude gets it.  Now that Duncan's gone, I think Steph may be the best organizational player leader in the league now.  Dirk is up there but past his prime.  Steph probably has my vote.  He truly is the heart of the Warriors.

     

    Debbie Downer time but a 9 year old didn't dictate that original letter.  And Steph didn't Mastermind the response....forgetting the fact that it wouldn't inconvenience himself selling his own shoes.

    Does Google Fi work with Samsung phones? Does this credit work with Samsung phones?

    Yes.  On Google Fi website, it'll list many samsung models as compatible with Fi.

     

    The deal is over (ended early due to "limited supply")

     

    Had it still been active, if you chose to only get Fi service to use with your phone, credit was $200.

    You are obligated for 120days (=4 months) of service... which is $20*4 = 80$ ... if you do not use data at all. 

     

    if you choose to purchase say a $500 phone, you get $500 credit

    Obligation is still the same at 80$... except you also own the phone outright AND have more travel credit

  8. If you just bought a phone from Google store, ostensibly due to BF/CM sale, you might have screwed yourself.

     

    For today and today only - ending midnight San Transcisco time - Google is offering dollar-for-dollar travel credit for a a Google Fi subscription + Device purchase.  Up to 999$ which is the highest priced device they offer (P3XL-128GB). 

    Travel credit is a virtual gift card redeemable on Delta airlines (meh), Hotels.com (woo), and AirBnb (decent).  With no expiration.

    Google Fi subscription has no contract*; runs monthly 20$ (talk)+0-60$ (data) depending on usage; and phone is full-fat unlocked phone.

    *obviously you need to keep the service for a few months for the travel credit to kick in...but atleast not a full 24mo commitment.

    *******

    So I spent 1000$.  Ill get a 1000$ credit redeemable for what i use anyway (book almost everything through hotels.com).

    I have a phone worth 1000$ retail, and at minimum half that if flipped.  Subscription committment is minimum 240$ for a year assuming its never touched.

    And even though I have a work phone account with generous data allowance, I can use the Fi service as secondary SIM to burn through unlimited data when roaming in places like Asia, Africa, etc, with their stupendous data roaming rates, without having to bother buying local SIMs
