I've had Xbox every generation and Microsoft has consistently been full of empty promises. They got lucky last gen. Especially in retrospect considering how genuinely awful the launch 360s were (no HDMI, no Wifi, proprietary 20 GB HDDs, RROD, etc)

As opposed to being thin for the sake of being thin and having sub par battery along with sub par specs.

The specs are literally 2018 Mid Tier phone levels.

$1500 doesn't justify those specs with fancy new hinge.

If it was top tier specs & battery at the cost of "Thin-ness", then I can see the value.

But come on.

You like a little THICC-ness on your phone right?

You don't want it to be so thin that we have another iPhone BendGate issue.


Don't get me wrong, I don't want this thing.

But they're making a RAZR, and making a thick RAZR is like making a Galaxy Note with a 720p LCD screen.

I took adderall in college once to study for a cumulative final. I finished studying in 30 minutes & I was fully convinced I was going to get a perfect score on the exam. I then ran a few laps around my house and chain smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

I ended up getting a C on the final. Never again.


Adderall increases the perception of academic performance, but not the actual scores.

Contrary to most people, I thought Strattera was great but I had severe tachycardia and diaphoresis taking it, which is crazy to think about since it's marketed as "safer" than Adderall by not being "a stimulant."

I'd say of all the medicines available for ADHD, Vyvanse strikes the best balance between being effective while having less abuse potential and fewer side effects.

The main issue with Adderall is that your body becomes dependent on it, and due to the short half-life the withdrawals can be terrible. I actually voluntarily quit Adderall and started Wellbutrin because of that.

Vyvanse is the best by far, though. All the advantages of Adderall but lasts all day and no withdrawal.

When you're getting a phone like this, you're getting it to flex, not to get a good value.

The Galaxy Fold is overpriced, to be sure. But Samsung maxed out literally everything in it, from storage (512 GB standard) to battery life (4400 mAh) to specs (855, 12 GB RAM) to camera (Note 10's setup).

Seriously though, if you're going to spend that much money on a phone to flex, it better have flex specs too.

I'm not saying the Galaxy Fold is worth $2000, but it's more worth $2000 than a mid-range gimped $1500 Razr.

Fold at least has a giant screen, Snapdragon 855, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage and near record-setting battery life.

And the Note 10's camera.

I have one of the ones with a bad keyboard and ever 2 weeks or so a random key will turn squishy for a week or so. I hate it and I've already made them fix it once (when my J key fell off this january)


Apple's hardcore about taking a bad idea and running with it so long that people begrudgingly give up, but they screwed up the butterfly keyboard so many times (for four freaking years) that they just couldn't convince anyone anymore.

And the saddest part of all - even if the butterfly keyboard worked flawlessly, it would still be awful to use due to the near-zero key travel.
