- Undecided. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 07:53
- Ask me in ten years or so, which is about when I’ll be about ready to upgrade to that generation of phone. -- nm - znufrii, not outraged Jul 5, 07:09
- Don't think it's possible for me to care less about that. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 5, 07:07
- Hell no! Why are they doing it? It looks ridiculous and there's no reason for it. They should be getting closer to nothing but screen and a small - Krusty Jul 5, 07:01 6
  - so krusty hates selfies. noted. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 07:01 5
    - I don't take them much because I suck at taking them but my phone has a front facing camera without the need for a notch. -- nm - Krusty Jul 5, 07:02 4
      - Well the Note's display is gigantic anyway. But the Samsung's are staying out of the notch game for sure. -- nm - Shaun Jul 5, 07:03 3
        
        So on smaller phones they're going to take away some of the already limited screen size for a camera. That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. - Krusty Jul 5, 07:05 2
        
        to me a smart design decision would be to maximize the screen, notch out (or whatever) for the camera, then use the space beside the notch for system - Truman Jul 5, 07:07 1
        
        If they used the space next to it properly it might not be too bad. - Krusty Jul 5, 07:11

    - My phone has a front facing camera just like that without needing a huge notch taken out of the screen. Poor designing. -- nm - Krusty Jul 5, 07:02
    - Not a fan but would get used to it in a few days - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 5, 07:01 2
      - You lose the availability of the screen area next to the notch so it's a smaller screen than it should be. - Krusty Jul 5, 07:03 1
        
        But currently, that screen doesn't exist? - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 5, 07:54
oh no - ty97 Jul 5, 06:32 7

man, that Thai rescue plan is nuts. cave + current + zero visibility is a crazy hard first dive to do. - mafic Jul 4, 19:08 19
- This wasn't the first time those boys explored this cave. They knew what to do when the water began rising. They managed to stay together. They may - Covington Jul 5, 03:17
- I can't watch or listen to these reports. It's like some of my worst fears all rolled into one. -- nm - . Jul 4, 21:22

  - I imagine a lot of them will, but in AGA masks there's no chance of them spitting a regulator out, plus you can talk to them. still: nuts. - mafic Jul 4, 19:26 8
    - I read there were going to be 2 adult divers per kid. Is it almost the beginning or end of the rainy season? I guess they're afraid the water will - jnine Jul 4, 19:38 7
      - yeah, straight up very beginning of the monsoons. I don't know if the cave ever floods completely, but I guess it's possible. - mafic Jul 4, 20:02 4
        
        I have terrible claustrophobia. I can't imagine going out in those little passageways in the darkness. -- nm - jnine Jul 4, 20:29 3

        I've been cave diving a couple times, in big caves with air pockets, and that makes me nervous. - mafic Jul 4, 20:46 1
        
        I had to deep breathe just reading these. -- nm - jnine Jul 5, 14:09
      - There are months to go before rainy season ends. If they wait it out it would be around October or so before the rain stopped and water - Krusty Jul 4, 19:53 1
