+10 for right attitude! There are lots of times my ears are killing me, too. I've just had decades to learn how to cope.

I think dolphins are more highly evolved than humans, ergo, we didn't evolve "from" them unless as a parallel and viciously retarded evolutionary branch. They are much better adapted to live in harmony with their environment and each other than we are. On the practical side, though, anthropomorphizing anything seems…

Not an a—hole thing to note a real detail. I take no offense. I did see the mention of towels, but thought it worthwhile to add a little detail—I don't think it works as well to roll stuff up in them as to gather corners. Should have written my comment more carefully.

Or use a towel—pile clothes in the middle, pull corners together and viola, it's a laundry bag you just throw in with the rest of the wash. Same after they're done. Re: wrinkles, one should be removing clothes susceptible to wrinkles (i.e., dress shirts and pants) before the rest of the load anyway, even while still…

I just have to say—In what hell would anyone have a neglected waffle iron? Waffles, waffles, waffles, mmmmm! Yeah, do love it for sandwiches and such, too, though it's easier/faster to do most of this with your stove/range or toaster oven.

I have the same problem with friends sending group SMS and having them come to me as MMS. One such friend, I think, is still rockin' his OG Droid, like me. Another has an Iphone, but same SMS to MMS problem. They are both in NY, NY. The Droid guy and his son are pretty tech savvy and say it has something to do…

Lawyers and consumers need to be super-extra careful with this kind of thing, because the laws of each state and each country are quite different on many issues of common concern. What will work or would be correct advice in one jurisdiction can get you in trouble in another. It's crappy that it's that way, but…

The vintner probably did intend that the wine be served in the right temperature range and properly decanted/aerated, at least for read wine. There is no question that flavors change, almost always for the better, when decanted/aerated. I do sometimes enjoy seeing how much difference there is between the first…

Gotta say, this is only helpful to the most minimal extent and only if one had no previous clue about the nutritional make-up of the foods at issue. What about volume? A whole, average sized banana is a lot more filling than the average sized (say about 3" diameter) cookie, just because it's more volume. Relative…

Clearly one side of this conversation is not actually listening to the other—stop, read fully, think. The point is ads are a pretty crappy way to support an app/dev. They're a good way to assist with a little income stream to defray costs for trial-ware or apps that people probably just aren't going to pay for. I'm…

Right, CM7.2 is GB with some ICS-like visual elements; but CM9, also discussed in this thread, is ICS—we'll need a new phone to make that leap.

Yes, yes, yes, Astrokid248. Good gun choices for the purposes, too. May I recommend something in a .40 S&W for a concealable carry pistol and another fine paper puncher (though you've probably already got that covered)? Be sure to get training and properly licensed before carrying concealed, if that's what's…

You will never be able to obtain such data, because there will always be guns in the hands of at the very least, government officials (e.g., police) and criminals who could give a shit about any law, including gun control laws. Add to that the vast numbers of "libertarians" in the U.S. and around much of the world…

+10. F this Gawker BS. Smart, ethical people absolutely should have the power to defend themselves and others.

Brain gadgets. If you've never tinkered with your brain chemistry, you probably don't get it. Oddly, most, if not all of the comments don't seem to get it either. It would be nice, though, if there were more gadgety, diy info here, like how safely/legally (including not getting caught—the empirical definition of…

Also still rockin' liltankdroid (PE 6.5 GB 2.3.4 ChevNo1 2.6.32 ulV 1.25 kernel), so GB is definitely workable on this OG phone. However, I've been in and read some fairly extensive threads about potential for ICS on our phones and the lack of a dual core cpu is, I'm convinced, essentially insurmountable.

Yeah, that happens to me quite often, too. I've been told it's because I'm a mature businessman-looking guy, so they feel they can trust me not to go out and race it—better to give it to me for the discount rate and give the dinky compact to the 25 yr/o kid in town for his frat bro's bachelor party. Little do they…

While this advice is generally sound and Hertz and Avis generally do have some of the nicest cars and customer service, they are also almost always most expensive in their markets. National, Dollar, Thrifty, Budget, Enterprise, and Advantage may have somewhat more basic cars and service, but their prices can be much…

+1 Weather Underground. I just access it from Dolphin's speed dial page. No extra app required and its "Wundermap" feature is, for me at least, the best around. Being in a sub-tropical hurricane-concerned area, its tropical storm/hurricane tracking features are also great. Not that all the same information isn't…

I wish we all could! If Google hasn't demanded you accept Google Play and all the intrusions it entails, you're lucky. I tried to reject it and found I couldn't get anything to work on my phone until I kowtowed to the Big G. That kind of carp is one reason I chose Android over iOS—however, seems the corporate…
