Fortunately we’re already replacing Peters (MI) with my boy Abdul. Unfortunately we also have Slotkin.

I like to think of it as, “Hold on, God, I don’t care what you have to say. An evangelical is talking.”

Call it “TrumpCare” and he’ll sign it with glee. Get this shit done, let us join the developed world!

I tried this at Lake Michigan and people just got mad at me.

Again, I can understand why someone wouldn’t want one. Are you truly incapable of recognizing that other people have different device priorities than you do?

I use my phone more than any other device I own. It being expensive is justifiable if I get better use out of it. And it being fragile isn’t a problem for me, it’s plenty sturdy enough. I’ve not broken a phone in a very long time. So for me, personally, the two issues you raised that make you unable to understand why someone would want one do not deter me. Does that make sense?

I can’t understand why a user would even want this. How many users do want this?

I dunno what to tell you, I love the thing. I’ve liked the idea of foldables for a while. My buddy got the Z Fold 7 and loves it, I picked up the Duo and it’s great for me.

Foldables certainly aren’t the right fit for everyone, there are inherent trade offs. But I love the concept. I love having a small tablet with me everywhere. I love how compact the device is when folded. I’m enjoying a phone that is substantially different from every smartphone I’ve ever used. It reminds me of when smartphones were new and each one had things that made them unique.

I can certainly understand why people wouldn’t want one. But I find it surprising that you can’t understand why someone would.

Choirs are really good at being in tune with one another, but not necessarily in tune with absolute pitch. So if you’re a singer with absolute pitch, your life is looking at a note on a page, knowing what that note SHOULD sound like, but then singing a slightly off-pitch note to be in tune with everyone else. Or even a completely different note if the group has shifted enough.

Or if a group decides that a piece isn’t in a good range for someone, and they decide to sing in a different key, for most people it’s really easy. Take the new starting note and go. But if you have absolute pitch you have to transpose on the fly if you’re sight reading.

That said, I think given the choice I’d take absolute pitch. My wife has it and she can sight read so much better than I can.
