What A Cow Looks Like

 What A Cow Looks Like

I drew the cow all right angles, the way I imagined them. I hadn't seen many animals that weren't people or rats, and to me a cow seemed to have more to do with machines than anything living. I showed it to the children, and they

Apple’s iPhone Duo looks impressive! Sorry, not within budget. Also, I worry that something will get in between those screens when in the pocket and cause it to break. Yeah, paranoid like that. LOL

I have completely lost interest in new phones. The last one I bought was a Pixel 9 because they said it would have great AI features. At that time the sky was the limit, there were new breakthroughs every afternoon in AI. Now it's just an app. I will be ready for the next th...

A shocking 92 percent of US adults are not going to the doctor because it’s too expensive

Those aged 18 to 28 are the most likely to delay or avoid care because of cost (94.2 percent), followed by those aged 29 to 44.

I mean, yeah. Health insurance where I work would cost almost as much as my rent every month and there’s a huge deductible. I can’t even imagine the luxury of actually going to the doctor for something 🤷

The iPhone Duo looks cool and all, but with any folding phone, I could never justify paying so much for something with a crease in the middle of the screen. I can’t even ignore a little speck of dust under a screen protector 😵‍💫

The iPad mini could be the poor person’s iPhone Duo

If the main thing that attracts you to Apple’s new iPhone Duo is the larger display, keep in mind that the iPad mini is also available.

The iPhone Duo display is 7.6 inches, while the iPad mini display is a bit bigger at 8.3 inches.

And then there’s the price. The iPad mini, with cellular, comes to about one third of the price of an iPhone Duo.

Granted, there are things the Duo can do that the mini can’t, chief among them being the ability to fold. It has more screens and a better camera.

Still, with the iPhone’s screen size now approaching that of an iPad mini, you might want to look at this much less expensive alternative.

How long until the regular iPhones have the same shape as the Duo? I love the idea of a shorter & wider slab phone.

I spent the day programming in Atlantis. It's buggy, and there are a few missing parts, but most of what I need is there. It's starting to feel like Frontier, which is cool because that's what we're making. And I have my backup tools working on the new machine, praise Murphy.
