Yes, I know, on a brand new phone, it’s unlikely that her icon would show up in the texts. Deal with it.
It’s something that I pointed out to the Sprint rep at the store I was visiting. You’d think the company would make goddamn sure that their stores would have excellent signal – but I couldn’t get a 4G connection at all, and I only got 3 bars of 3G. It’s like walking into a car lot and all of the cars are out of gas. First world problems, yes, but annoying.
So this new 5G thing is coming out this year, and what in the hell is this sorcery? Every time I think I’m done being amazed at the new technology people invent, something comes along that blows the last gen out of the water. Now sincerely considering waiting until December to upgrade my phone.
Also, it seems this is a thing. Unsure of how I feel about it. On the one hand, I grew up playing Laser Tag with my friends, a game that no doubt would get kids arrested or shot by cops today. This looks like a new version that wouldn’t upset the anti-gun ninnies. On the other hand… this commercial makes a pretty good concept look like something lame as fuck, that only hipster kids will use to replay scenes from the Matrix.
Better move too.
Or atleast change the locks. Whether you gave her a key or not.
Maybe buy a GSD.
Whoa, she is seriously going to harass and possibly stalk a guy who works at a firearms store, knows weapons and how to use them.
Granted, she can shoot too. But… even so he is the hurt party and more likely to lose control than her. Yes, he appears to be sane and in control but does she really know that? They’ve been ‘bang buddies’ no commitment etc. She should just leave it. She doesn’t know him well enough to go pushing any and all of his buttons. He might go off on her with a bigger reaction than she expects. Girl, just turn around and walk away from the pissed off ‘ex-with-a-gun’ and find another victim and be more up front with him. learn from the past and apply the lessons to the present and get on with your life… Just say’n.
Actually, if the contact info sync’ed to google with her picture included… yes it would pull up her face on the new device.
What does the law say about the use of punji sticks as a home defense feature?
Surely a gun guy could rig up a homemade claymore mine or two.
FRONT TOWARDS THE ENEMY
DO NOT EAT
I’m sure if they set up a small cell tower in their store someone would cry that it was to make all phones appear to have better reception than they do.
Femtocell. Little box like a wireless router that acts like a tiny cel tower. Hooks up to and routes calls over the Internet.
They met at his place of business, ate out at his favorite steak place, met his best friend at his favorite watering hole and boffed on the first date in his home.
That Mick thinks a number change will do any good at all is just adorable.
Someone’s always trying to do something to be the next wave of video games. I firmly believe that until we have a Matrix-esque plug in our skull, video games will always be people sitting on a couch with a controller or at a desk with a mouse/keyboard. (note: I am well aware that The Matrix didn’t invent this idea, but invoking Shadowrun, Neuromancer or many other world settings/books/etc will just get blank stares from many)
I know what a TV tuned to a dead channel looks like.
You invoke Shadowrun, and yet you do not invoke the Cyberpunk RPG. For shame! š
Maybe I’m too old, but the clothes in the movie looked… lame.
But I’m old enough to have played lazer tag when it was new.
I still have a laser tag rifle, the sensor hat (rifle user had to wear the hat otherwise it was damn near impossible to hit the sensor on his chest), and the BLAST bazooka/mortar thing. I also was there in 1988 when they tried to get a laser tag tournament going at the gencon/origins expo in Milwaukee. so I guess we’re both old LOL
Meh. I like Ingress better.
There is at least one vid where a guy is filming the cops via phone and the cop tries to convince him to let her “examine” his phone to make sure it’s not a gun… Can’t remember the particular vid. On the moo tubes of course.
This brought up in my mind of course d/t your posted vid.
Best Twolumps.net ever today!!! š
Honestly, if I were Mick, I just would have gone the next few days without a phone. You gave me an awesome thought today. The next cell phone innovation will be the merge of a gun into the smart phone. You simply use the screen as a scope and cross hairs and blammo! It would probably drain the battery much faster though š
I have just giggled like a loon at your comment. Many thanks, good sir.

Good one. How about this though; a Taser phone? Self defense and 911 or similar all rolled into one compact unit… none fatal (usually) and smaller and more compact. Fires twice from a High Voltage capacitor. just point in the general direction and it locks in on any electronic item on the target…
See the NEW I gotcha Phone 9. with instant internet posting so everyone can see the A** Hole get theirs. That would change the whole market place I think.
Hey at least it got them off their duffs, and moving.
That kid with the hat looks familiar..
wow a lazertag app?? wow …sooo LAAAAME i remember when we had real lazer tag guns …kids these days LOL
@jay E Moyes ROFLMAO!!! your comment was great !!! HEHEHE
“Every time I think Iām done being amazed at the new technology people invent, something comes along that blows the last gen out of the water.”
When you consider that technological advancement is basically an exponential expansion curve, get ready for a few wild decades. It’s actually really exciting if you think about it.
the problem is being able to afford it…
