Usually those water resistant seals are just a tiny bit of adhesive gunk like so (looks better before removal obviously). Eventually it may just break down. Also it isn't waterproof, so holes like the charging port, speaker, microphone, stylus, you don't want submerged for long. Might do better flipped upside down, but there is usually a speaker and mic at the top as well.
Because it's a highly notable building in the heart of Nashville known to be called "Music City" leaning more towards country music.
Edit: oops thought you were asking why Hardy used it.
Why would At&t... Not sure, but Sauron did have vast coverage in middle earth.
But it wasn't At&t that built it, they bought the company before them.
When I moved to Tennessee people told me it was the batman building
Maybe it's the carbon moanoxide. * Complete failure to make a ghost moaning sound through text ...
We all cope in our own ways, though many of those overlap. Looking back on 5 year increments of how I dealt with issues is interesting for me sometimes. 5, 10.. not much awareness to outside things. 15,20 I dealt with things healthier than I do now at 35. 25 was my worst, 30 was a bit better, but not sure if I even having coping mechanisms now. I think I just spend hours filled with dread haha
Edit: if you ever need to actually get something off your chest or talk feel free to blurt shit here or message me. end it with a no-reply if it makes you feel better about a rant and you'll at least know someone read it and I wont respond then. (I never know what works for who)
Put the you know what, in the you know where
I miss the days when more people around me were worried about people wearing socks in sandles, high socks, no show socks, wrong colored socks, non matching socks, toe socks... Come to think of it I knew a lot of people who spent more time than me looking at people's socks
Yarp, a gasket, couple clips and adhesive and you can have a fairly user swappable battery as well.
Though I'd prefer a metal bracket surrounding the wood with a slide in and up push onto gasket mechanism, two screws at the bottom to hold in place. You can lose the adhesive and everything would be easily accessible.
(Think iPhone 4S with gasket)
And they'll have something terrible on the back to protect it that doesn't crack as easily, like plastic or metal.
Joking aside, my brother gave me his old phone awhile back and I used it for awhile, the back was wood. Not sure why more phones didn't do that. It was light and had no issues with cracking. I suppose it wasn't as waterproof as phone are now, but I liked it.
His didn't have gold on it though, maybe it was silver or something
Fuckk. Sorry to hear that.
Buy a TV and crack the LCD, the new LCD will cost 90% of the price, and then you need to throw in labor. Let's say $100. That'll cover an hour of their time and the shops time because they first have to verify the model, talk to a vendor, get it shipped, then install it and deal with the drop off holding contacting you for pick up and payment processing. After paying the workers, maybe they made $50 off that repair if they are always busy. If a part is DOA, more costs. Total it all up and realize you spent $550 to repair a TV that is on sale with a 1 year warranty for $499 at Walmart with no waiting.
Assembly lines make things cheap, especially if the labor is cheap
Everyone would actually remember they are from D.C. and not the state of Washington if you called them that.
Edit for fun fact: Washington D.C. is more than 300km closer to the equator, than it is to the capital of Washington.
