![]() The first S21 Ultra I received had a scratched display and emitted warnings that the storage was full–although it was brand new. I received another one and within a month the screen had two scratches even though I only kept it in my empty pocket. I’d like to write about the great features and performance (it’s faster than my PC and the camera is out of this world!) but the bloatware is very troubling and bothersome. The notifications are annoying and disruptive. The user is forced into the Samsung world and it’s difficult to stay in the Google world that I prefer. Right off the bat Samsung downloaded 12 Samsung apps that I have no idea what they are for or any use for–just more bloatware. I had a support question and phoned their support line but had a difficult time understanding the tech because of her accent and the echo. I’m usually not bothered by accents, but this woman’s accent was impossible to understand. I was forced to hang up and phone another tech for help. I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you how powerful this thing is. It’s so fast there is seldom a pause online or off. The 5G removes all barriers to speed and downloading and photography. |

[Bricklaying] Look at this gismo for laying brick. It looks like a moneymaker to me. Most time is spent on “mudding” the bricks. |
[“Culling the population”] And what category do you place yourself? The ignorant and selfish group? You’re the ones that should be culled. Thanks for allowing the sick and elderly to live longer, so big of you. I guess you have all your groceries, etc., delivered to your home as well as in-home doctor visits. Sounds like you want to spread yourself around. Did you ever hear of the for the good of all idea? |

[“Zebra mussels”] Can you eat them? Years ago we were told that mussels were not eatable. Now I pay top dollar for them. Maybe it’s the same with zebra mussels? |
Comparing Milagros to the Moose and Coconuts. Coconuts doesn’t sell food, except for the nuked frozen burgers from last year, at least that’s what I was told. I don’t go in there, cause there’s stuff worst then Covid in there. ~iamallthat@outlook.com |

You the guy with the hedge trimmer for sale? |
I am now fully vaccinated! That means that in 2 weeks, on March 31 I will be able to hug my grandchildren. But how can I get grandchildren in two weeks? |

[Friday Joke] Poultry farmers in Iowa are using their stimulus money to buy baby chickens. So they are now getting their money for nothing and their chicks for free. Those not getting checks must be in dire straits. Money for nothing – Dires Straits |

[“Island Restaurant in the old train station”] I never heard of the Island Restaurant and certainly not the old train station on BPK. Where were they? Were where you? |
![]() (Ed: When searching “The Lone Ranger” for an image to highlight the post, all I came up with were images from the Jonny Depp move. Kids don’t even know who the real Lone Ranger is. They think it’s Jonny Depp. … A firey horse with the speed of light in a cloud of dust and a hearty, “Hi ho Silver”) |
[Groaning] My neighbors complained about me groaning too loud in the morning, thinking I’m having sex. If they only knew I’m just trying to put my socks on |
