Being so long ago (1995) it might be a little unfair, but I won't buy a Taurus firearm after the complete steaming turd PT945.

There have been rifles with built-in optics before. The original Steyr AUG, FN F2000, and HK G36 are examples of this.

The issue is that you miss out on modularity, and these optics (like most tech) tend to become outdated and can't be as easily upgraded.

Nowadays, all of these rifles have switched to railed tops so you can add your own "dongle" as the situation necessitates. Wink


Fair point and applicable to many things. Example - for electronics, I’ve long valued the “separate components” approach so that I can easily swap out individual items and also aren’t restricted to a lower-quality integrated item.

Maybe they can figure out an “in-dash, single-DIN” approach to RDS so that we can easily change out the particular unit.

If a radio or TV ad announces the phone number more than twice, I'll avoid it.

I will never buy anything at “Jared” because it’s a stupid name and I hate their commercials.

I’ll never buy another GM product again because my van is garbage.

I won’t buy another Bosch dishwasher because their stupid dish rack wheels keep breaking off.

Diet Plan food like Weight Watchers or Nutrisystem. They're unnecessary.

I'll take that one step further... I'll never buy a diamond from anyone, because diamonds are a scam.

Levis. Not just because their politics suck - and they do - but because the location of the hip pockets results in my sitting on my wallet when I drive. I bought a pair of Wranglers that have the pockets moved slightly and don't have the problem.

I just ordered my fifth or sixth pair tonight. Battery acid ate the last pair.

I will only buy bottled water if it has a specific type of top on it. If I am traveling & the place I stopped at doesn't have the cap I want, I will see if the top will fit the new bottle or I will pour the water into the empty bottle with the top that I like.

This exactly, I will not buy a diamond on principle. I’ve got 18 rather small ones I can’t even bring myself to have mounted in something for my wife. They were absolutely free, and mean nothing to me.

I won't buy Sony products. I dont know if they still do it or not, but it used to be they had batteries that were proprietary and they charged way too much for replacements.

Love pocket knives ... too much. Have dozens, but I won't buy a pocket knife if it looks too tacti-cool or bizarre, no matter who makes it or how good the steel is. Don't need an attitude or personality in my pocket.

As mentioned above, I also buy soda in bottles when I’m driving. That’s because I can close the cap.That means it’s less likely to spill, and I am more able to keep the carbonation in on a longer drive.
Cans to put in the fridge, because they get cold faster.

DeBeers is the epitome of the dark or evil side of capitalism. They control the market through underhanded schemes, price gouge and treat the miners like shit.

Yeah, marketing that insults your intelligence will do it for me. I will never buy a Subaru for that reason. They never say a word about the vehicle just telling you it is all about "love" or how it will drive grandma up the mountain so she can hug a tree one more time before she croaks.

Good grief.

I have never eaten at Chipotle because I had a smug, arrogant boss 25 yrs ago that swore by it.

I refuse to buy alcohol at the local grocery stores (Wegmans) because they ask for ID to buy beer. Being a recipient of social security any moron could see that I'm older than 21 years old. Just to piss them off I frequently leave a 30 pack at the check out register!

For me I will not purchase any packaged food for myself or my dog that is made in China. It is known that many dog food or dog treats made in China contains some chemicals that are poisonous killing our dogs. Also I have seen videos of cans of sardines and tuna that had live worms in it, all made in China. I truly believe China does this on purpose to poison the American people and our pets. God Bless Smile
