Someone should run a test comparing the time and energy consumed for various techniques.

Rats! Is this 64-bit only written into Apple’s coding for iOS 9 or will this get fixed later. It hardly seems like a feature that needs a lot of CPU horsepower.

My, my, my. Look at all the ill-tempered, I gotta have it my way posts. We talk about airlines make air travel a pain. A lot of the miseries come from passengers such as these.

People at Boeing call these ‘black hole’ projects. Those in them can’t even whisper a word about what they do.

See that button at the end of a cord? That’s your call button. Click on it. When the nurse comes, tell her that those crazy dreams are coming back and that you need your meds.

I’m fortunate. In 2012, I moved from one of the States of the Damned (Washington) to one of the States of the Blessed (Alabama). When I went to get my new driver’s license, I had to bring in a host of paperwork, but it was worth it. I now have a DHS-approved driver’s license.

Oh, I don’t know. I’ve read that the way the regulations are worded, passing that test is passing the test, however that’s accomplished. And switching to other modes, such as economy or performance, is simply switching modes, which is permissible and common. There’s no requirement that cars have to pass the test…

If I carried stuff to sew with, I’d need to also carry something bulky to sew on. I’d rather have something to read, perhaps a small paperback.

This is why, over the long-term, iPads are often a better deal. My iPad 3 is now running it’s fourth version of iOS, one that supports every feature its hardware can handle. And keep in mind, that comes with the best selection of apps too.

In sailing, there’s a term called local knowledge. It means that if you want to enter a reef-bound port, what the locals know about water depths and tides matters more than what some printed guide says.

Yeah, but how do I get rid of JFK’s birthday on May 29th? Someone at Apple inserted it and won’t let anyone get rid of it. Washington and Lincoln I could see having. They actually did something. But all JFK did was appear so weak that we almost got into WWIII over missiles in Cuba.

I’d add an additional set, basic home and automobile repairs. Cooking wouldn’t be a bad idea either. I finished high school almost fifty years ago and am still a lousy cook.

I fail to see why this access point needs to be hidden. If a thief is going to grab and run, he’ll pick something more valuable.

I accomplished the same ‘bias’ lighting with a simple, multi-bulb LED light I picked for about $3. As the article observes, plugged into the USB port in the back of my TV, it comes on and off with the TV.

Elect a weak president and the world’s nastier regimes grow bolder. We’ve seen that before. We’re seeing it again.

I take my iPhone to the toilet rarely and then only with fear and trembling. “What,” I ask myself, “would happen if I dropped the thing into the toilet bowl?” Not a pleasant thought.

Craft tables used for drawing and drafting are another option. They retail for about $120 and most can be adjusted high enough to serve as a standing desk. They’re common enough you can easily find them used. I picked mine up for $15 at Goodwill.

Tape measures are clumsy even if you use this nail trick. For larger circles, it’s probably be easier to measure and use a cord.

Keep in mind that for all but the smallest, a state isn’t a good economic model. Both incomes and the cost of living can vary enormously between rural areas and big cities, as well as within cities. The relative portions of each then alter that state’s numbers.

This is good news for those with savings, particular older people. They’re heavily dependent on the interest of their savings to get by without depleting those savings. At current low rates, they’ve been really hurting.
