I’m glad you mentioned the bugs. I was slowly leaning towards it but I’ve done my fair bit of… “unpaid beta testing” for one lifetime.
I miss my BlackBerry phones. The Titan range was cool but buggy as well. If they could just do a Nothing phone with a QWERTY keyboard, I would literally buy one overnight.
In fairness, I always ask for a really straightforward clippers cut which even Stevie Wonder would find remarkably difficult to fuck up.
Nah the barber I use is sound as fuck. Happy to throw about witty banter, but equally happy to shut up and do his thing when I’m just about asleep.
As pleasant as that looks, it matters not to me.
I ask my barber for the “full works”, sit back, and close my eyes for half hour listening to whatever generic chilled dance playlist he’s got going on YouTube. It could be a dude, a woman, or anything in between, it doesn’t matter.
When he slaps my shoulders and says “ok boss, what do you think?”, that’s my cue to get up and leave.
It’s my brief moment of indulgence every other month or so. Bliss.
If the designated driver goes rogue, then it’s on them to pay the taxi fare home.
Expensive (probably) but simple.
No I largely agree. My limited understanding of modern firearms would suggest that with an unmodified firearm, the safety catch would have had to have been manually disengaged (which is daft enough) and whatever has actuated the trigger must have pulled evenly on the trigger safeties too, which I’m finding really unusual.
If they’ve modified their weapon system though, then yeah it could be all sorts of jank interfering with the safety systems.
I’m still not entirely convinced it’s an actual discharge. The video feed I saw on the Bluesky post didn’t have sound so the discharge can’t be heard, and there’s no signs of impact on the snow or pavement, though in fairness the video is of a low frame rate.
I can’t quite see how that weapon discharges though.
The guy’s arms are well out flailing at the time of the flash negating a flinch reaction or grab of the trigger, and it seems to be before the full fall which would eliminate the possibility of a mechanical failure.
I can only imagine the trigger hooked on a piece of equipment. I thought it might be something else but it sure looks like a muzzle flash.
edit: In fact, that’s a really really focussed beam of light, perhaps it was some sort of tactical light mounted on the underside or side of the weapon?
Easy now, let’s actually make it believable
The Passport was actually a really decent phone but the jokes did get old.
“When are you going to wall-mount your phone?”
“fucking hell that will kill someone if you drop it”
“you don’t need to send that text, that person can fucking read it from here!”
etc etc etc
