Random brag:
I’ve had my Samsung smart phone for 3 years now. I have never put any kind of protective casing on it. I don’t pay for insurance on my plan either. The screen is perfectly intact, and no other damage either.
I like to live dangerously, and I saved ~$300.

Buying insurance for consumer electronics and stuff is almost always -EV.
Been thinking about going no case for awhile now.
Just ordered 50 oysters to be delivered for our Michigan getaway. They can’t be that hard to shuck right?
Not that hard. Just go slow and be patient. Trying to go too fast or forcing them open (instead of working with the natural anatomy of the oyster) is what leads to accidents.
I did cheap phones, no case, YOLO for many years without incident. A little over a year ago I finally broke down and bought a used Pixel 3 after switching carriers and no longer being able to reliably get a good signal. By far my most expensive phone purchase ever.
Of course, I shattered the back glass within a couple weeks. Only reason it’s in a case now is to keep all the shards contained and keep dirt out of it.
I love the absurdity of selling very sleek, very expensive, and very fragile devices that then need to be substantially bulked up for protection for normal use.
That’s what she said.
I never had a case for my phone until I got the iphone 6, the rounded edges made it basically impossible to hold and I dropped it constantly (i.e. like 6 times in the first two days I had it). I am not in a big hurry to get the 12 but I will probably not get a case if I do upgrade.
Thank you. Great advice. Is it better to shuck all 50 then eat or eat as you shuck. There is only 4 of us.
Of course. They wouldn’t sell it if it wasn’t.
The brief time I worked as a cashier at Best Buy they always told us to push insurance on anybody buying large electronics. You’re selling them nothing but promises that they’ll forget you made the minute they leave the store.
Make shucking part of the meal. It’s more of an experience.
You should definitely get a shucking glove.
Unless there will be a level of alcohol consumption involved that might make handling an oyster knife a bad idea later in the meal (which can sometimes be an issue with some members of my family), I like to shuck as I go.
I’ll more than likely be a few beers in before shucking. Glove ordered. Appreciate the advice all. Can’t wait!
Post a pic of your shucking knife.
Yeah that party got wiped out of Parliament. They don’t really have an analog in American politics, they are like a populist center-right European party, something like the National Front. After the last election Peters chose to form coalition government with Labor rather than the Nationals (he could have done either) saying this:
Capitalism must regain its responsible, its human face
He opposes deregulation and privatization. But he’s also said stuff like this:
We are being dragged into the status of an Asian colony and it is time that New Zealanders were placed first in their own country.
And the party voted against same sex marriage. You get the picture. Populist, nationalist, economically centrist, socially conservative. The country will be better off with Labor in majority government.
LMAO, I just saw that in the last hour and was too lazy to post here.

Projection, as always
I don’t know man. That looks pretty creative.
