i was going to say that this probably wouldn't do anything because bot fly eggs wash out really easily in showers and baths and so generally don't bug humans; but then I remembered this store is in Texas.
The human specific species egg hatch really fast and burrows in, plus the eggs are really small. Small enough for mosquito or blowfly legs to carry several. |

Just found out they have those in Sierra Leone. Don't worry. I am sure the hemorrhagic fevers will keep them from getting too deep. |

Just found out they have those in Sierra Leone. What? That is incorrect. They go all the way from the southern half of Mexico to the northern half of Argentina. I got mine in Panama. I don't know where they are in Africa, but the continent is full enough of horrific parasites that it doesn't need them. |

Ok, not the bot fly specifically, but the Tumbu Fly (same species). Its basically all over west Africa. Co-worker who was in the peace corp in Gambia before State was telling me all about the other members who got infected by them. Though as Way mentioned, I should probably be more concerned about the Ebola outbreak that's spreading into the country currently. |

I saw a picture once of someone that got one in the head and it terrified me. |

Why don't we stop trying to put Eric in jail for committing homicide by insect. Sending pizzas and prank calls are one thing, but getting insects to drill holes in peoples skulls is probably more serious. I don't want Eric in jail. I've left him something in my will and they won't allow living creatures to go to prison with you!

No, it was in the back of my neck right above the t-shirt neckline, but well below the top of BDU collars. I couldn't ever get a good look at it in the mirror and just assumed it was a nasty zit or infected hair because it was hot and dirty as hell. Eventually it got big and bothersome enough that I went to the flight surgeon to see if it was something he could drain. He took one look at it and stuck a piece of duct tape over it and told me to come back after lunch. When I came back the thing had suffocated and he pulled it out with a pair of tweezers in about 15 seconds. Honestly, splinters are more uncomfortable than that thing was. |

Well, we all know how Bob can go on a rage induced verbal rampage. It could be parasite related?

I have learned some very useful things from angry.bob's posts, although many of them just frighten me. Like the ones in this thread. Still, as long as I learn useful stuff, he can rampage all he likes. Hopefully it's him who's having the rage and not a parasite. That would be too creepy even for me.
Stay angry, Bob. It works for you.

I never said I wasn't a fan. Bob has a way of saying a lot of...uncomfortable...things, but that doesn't mean they aren't often true.

The place that bought this shitty ipad repair joint is just as shitty as the ipad repair joint. What is this? Is someone trying to make a monopoly on running shitass businesses in Austin?

Serious answer: Buy a nexus 7 and forget this place ever existed. If you could put a dollar value on not being in a shit mood that seeps into every other part of your life for an hour, you'd realize pretty quickly that you'd pay thousands of dollars and be happy about it to never have to think about those fucks again.
That's not what anyone is hoping to get out of a Nerf sighting in a thread like this though. It's past my bedtime, I'll get on this tomorrow.

Even more serious answer than Nerfs, why the hell go to some shitty repair shack instead of sending your device to Apple themself? I had nothing but bad experiences with 3rd party repair shops and nothing but good experiences with repairs from Apple themself.
Is the price those repair shops charge that much lower that is warrants the headaches?

Probably. Isn't everything from Apple ridiculously overpriced? |

Update:
No update. I've called the guy back twice now, after he said he'd call me back. He believed an iPad v1 or v2 would be a viable replacement for an iPad Mini Retina.
I'm pretty close to BBB'ing his shit.
