    I don’t know what Verizons deal is with it honestly, but T-Mobile hasn’t gotten in the way of it, they’ve even carrier unlocked phones for me that were still on a fresh payment plan for it.

    Always best to buy directly from the OEM

    Not everyone can afford that you know, and I find those budget/mid range phones insufferable. I’d buy one as a matter of last resort only.

    Nah,

    Buck Strickland would get Hank to go along with it (maybe even enthusiastically) for the initial “Good” stages where they try to make propane delivery far better and more streamlined for customers blah blah blah. Buck would hide/skip over the “Taking investment money, while not making any profit” parts

    Eventually Hank would start getting a few questions popping up in his head when he starts realizing the propane is being sold cheap, too cheap. He’d go to Buck and Buck would be able to shift Hank away.

    Then the enshittification stage hits and Hank realizes what’s going on, after a while of “Bucks got this” he’ll get infuriated when Bobby shows him online comments from people complaining of the now crappy service. He goes to confront Buck, only to find him drunk AF at a stripper club and not giving AF because he’s gonna be rich.

    Meanwhile Peggy, infuriated at these online comments from people, makes Bobby show her how to get one of “these new social applications” and proceeds to defend her husband online, while discovering that she finds it addictively fun.

    Hank will try to confront him again the next day, only to find Buck freaking TF out because things aren’t working out like he thought and beg Hank to fix things like usual.

    Hank sits down and cranks out a solid and reasonable plan for profitability, makes Buck pay back the investors to take back control and restores things back to profitable normalcy. When he gets back home after, he finds Peggy stuck on her phone desperately fighting against a storm of trolls, he just takes the phone and turns it off and carries her to bed

    Fin.



  • When passing or storing data in code you usually have to specify what type of data is it. An int is an integer, so numbers, there’s also boolean (true/false) and many others. There’s also string which is just characters of any kind (for the most part) which pretty much makes it a catch-all, since numbers can be a string along with letters and special characters.

    But to use a number as a number after it’s been received as a string it has to be converted to an int, which means extra code, more effort, more failure points etc etc.
