Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

It’s funny but Apple products generally have a much longer lifespan than other stuff on the market. My iPhone 6 still works, and I have macs spanning 3 decades that all still work. I sold my PowermacG5 after using it for 7 years for over $1000. Try any of that with random android phone brand or some old dell.

As a very longtime Apple/Mac user, that is sadly no longer the case. With nothing user upgradeable anymore, I've noticed Apple products are no longer holding the same value as they used to.

I have the luxury of being able to upgrade my iPhone and MacBook every couple years as I write them off as a business expense. I made sure to take care of them so they are in perfect condition for resale when it was time for the new one. Where they used to resell at roughly 80%, that's now down to 60-70%.

Resale value has nothing to do with usable lifespan.

Not true at all. Just sold an old iMac of mine for exactly 80% of what I paid for it.
