There's nothing in between.

If you accidentally hit someone with a shopping cart they will either quietly apologize for being in you way, or carve you up with multiple knives recently stolen from the kitchen utility shop.

That latter alternative is quite rare, fortunately; although one mall has had two occurrences in the last few years.

We have a few more categories in malls;
Packs of teens - Usually all of one sex and very rarely mingled.

Very classy looking women in expensive clothes - They work there in some store or another probably for minimum wage. They seem to wander around a lot.

Bus loads of disabled people and their attendants - I have never really figured this one out but there can be hundreds.

Large families with several children and grandparents in tow - They can invariably be found totally oblivious that they are completly blocking the aisle while they chat with somebody.

If a Wal-Mart is attached then anything goes.

DO NOT enter Wal-Mart when the welfare cheques come out no matter how bad you need something.

I hate malls.

You have to go further north or east for that.

I don't get why they won't bring back wireless charging. I'm still using the old Nexus 4 Qi charger that acts as a 45 degree angle stand for my Nexus 5.

I played around with the iPhone X at the fruit place and boy their interface totally sucks ballz! The specs and pricing are just as BS as that new ThinkPad T25.



I went to the Christmas Market on Sunday and the highlight this year is again the free Campbell soup samples to warm up in the midst of the cold lol!

Well, @Cole , your post got me interested and I looked up that phone.

Pretty darn fancy fer sure.

However, I reckon I'll just keep the one I have ...... although I could use one with bigger buttons .....

BTW I also saw this phone on sale at the Distillery District you won't believe the price tag on it lol!

*Hint* it costs about 3 of those Lamy 2000 fountain pens in the picture.

That's a lot of cabbage to drop on a statement. My Gravity 3 has a camera and google maps.

Just sayin'...

but... how can you tell they're lesbians if they're fighting?

well at first I thought it was a dude fighting a woman. that's the only reason I got involved. the shorter "dude looking one" had the obviously female pinned up against a car. the female had the other in a sorta headlock but the dude was still teeing off on her face and sides. it was only when I had thrown the dude-ish one and she spun around that I realized it was in fact a female. you could just tell it was a "lovers quarrel" by all the things they were saying and body language.

Wireless charging was something I was pretty pumped about on my G6, but after a couple weeks, I just stopped using it.

Fast charging is a way better option, and I'll gladly sacrifice wireless charging to have a back that's decently grippy on my phone.
