Happy New Year LW.

You know what guys?
yeah.
Exactly my point.
I had a great "vision" last night... the great SD Card God - "San Diskus Omnipotus" came to me!!
YES
And it told me that my evil Huawei Ascend Y300 (Made In China) was going to back stab me and eat my SD card because it doesn't like me!
Yeah crazy I know!
>:-D
SO - because time was of the essence I did a Chuck Norris round house kick on my back stabbing little phone...
All I am gonna say is Chuck Norris would be proud!
:-D
Oh ja this is the random rantings thread!
What rants my goat cheese is the evil SD Card card eater that eats sd cards like it was seriously starving!
>;-)

How many SDs can a hungry Huawei(made in China) eat? Sure the SEG Plaza in Shenzhen can oblige.
Eight floors of KIRFs and off-brands, along with enough parts and modules to make your own.
One wonders just how many tails of Ebay, woe, disappointment and despair in "General Tablet Talk", "Other Phones" and "Other Androids" passed through this mighty hall.

I like my Huawei. The Ascend. Original one from cricket, the one with the trackball thingy. Currently has CM7.
Just so everyone knows, Huawei are actually a reputable multi-national mainstream manufacturer, and has absolutely nothing to do with KIRFs. They make much of the plant that handles your phone calls and internet around the world.

What's grinding my gears now is the morons who put up the healthcare marketplace site. My wife's been trying to get inssurance since the beginning of October. On December 16th (by which time she would have had insurance if the site worked) she had a stroke. We haven't gotten the hospital bill yet (I think they're still trying to figure out how to get numbers to go that high), but one doctor, who spent maybe 10 minutes with her in the ER, sent a bill for over $500.
Anyone know what an MRI of the skull goes for these days? I know it's going to be a heck of a lot more than the CT they took first.
We retired with a nice nest egg. Now the local medical establishment is going to be eating most of that egg - because some morons couldn't do what I did for over 15 years - put up a website that worked. And they got paid for not doing it, too.

Yeah I totally agree!
I didn't know all of that though... that was interesting and educational...
Thank you.
Never heard of "KIRF" before I am going to go check that out and see what is happening there.
I was just being a tongue and cheek kind of thing.
In fact my Ascend Y300 Huawei my Auntie bought for me from Bell in Canada (oh yeah! xD the rest of my entire family have already fled this country for better living
) for ONLY 70 CANADIAN DOLLARS.I only paid about R650 I just CANNOT BELIEVE how cheap stuff is over seas!?!!?!!!
WOW.
WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS IS OUR CORRUPT GUBBERMINT THAT ROBS THE NATION BLIND AND PUTS SUCH HUGE IMPORT DUTIES AND TAXES ON EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DO HONEST BUSINESS HERE.
Corrupt fracking ANC "freedom fighters" really grind my gears - they should rename themselves to the "Thief Commandos".
Yeah I totally agree!

KIRF....Keepin' It Real Fake...Comes from Engadget, but is now one of my favourite acronyms.
Not much to do this evening except be the WeChat social network DJ.

BTW the one at the bottom in Cyrillic. He's a local Mongolian poet, and one of the nicest persons I've ever met. Evidently he likes Rammstein. :thumb:

How it works is post a song, rather like Twitter. They stream them on their phones and tablets, and can even download them for free(legal as well).
BTW meet my boss...

Stable, but critical. Bleeding turned out to be from the GI tube insertion, but this virulent flu strain brought the double-pneumonia, and due to her weakness, a cardiac event. She's heavily sedated, on a ventilator through an endotracheal tube. Due to her weakened immune state, they are worried about sepsis (they should be treating that with antibiotics like Cipro, and they are finally (hopefully) getting ready to do the heart cath exam, to see what damage occurred with her heart. Her fluids and low blood pressure have been stabilized; it's all up to her higher power, the medical staff, and her ability to fight. Thank you for asking, Kaat72 - you're a kind soul

Most of them never heard these songs before. Mind you we got more than enough Bieber and Miley fans here....i.e. the peeps that keep AutoTune in business.
Wasn't the Great Wall supposed to keep them out?

You're boss looks like something borrowed from Western Culture (kind of like Hanna-Barberra's Yogi Bear); thanks for the cheering up, and I'll keep everyone posted - LW
