Great read!! I still have my N900, my favorite smartphone of all time!

Where did I say the opposite of anything you are talking about?

Yup I get it, just don’t like marketing speak and downplaying what we are talking about - it takes a ton of joules to get water that hot and it’s dangerous.

with water that’s roughly 200 degrees Fahrenheit

barely warm enough to brew a cup of tea

That is scalding hot water brother LOL

Out of the current “R” brand spread, Romney at least had some character. I wouldn’t beat yourself up too bad about things you did many many years ago, reflection is hard, growing up is hard - you are a champion for being man enough and introspective enough to grow as a person. Also I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing.
