Please do, because it really is kind of a hazard. My kiddo brought one home last year but it was thick and made of plastic. That at least made sense.

I do, but mainly just to make appointments at the apple store should I need to because it’s a lot easier to get to in the app than it is by going to Apple’s website. I keep it tucked away in a folder of misc. crap that I never open.

I was going to say something, but this said it better than I could’ve.

I know this is an older post, but the few times I’ve (ironically) said “LOL” out loud the word came out “lawl” or the plural “lulz”. Saying it at all should clearly be done ironically, otherwise you’d be laughing and saying it at the same time.

The reality here is that vaping is far easier to ween someone off of and quit than smoking. You can lower your nicotine levels slowly, over time, without needing to reduce how often you do it habitually. That was the only way I was able to quit smoking, and then vaping, by breaking the addiction, THEN the habit.…

To begin with, the post is six and a half years old. My main purpose for the comment was that a site called “lifehacker” doling out basic-use tutorials, at about the same level of “how to copy and paste on your computer” and “how to change inputs on your TV” was pretty strange. It’s not a “life hack” it’s a “how to…

That makes a lot of sense. What’s nice, however, is FBA DOES allow for easier returns than buying direct from another company if something does go wrong. No dealing with the seller first, getting the runaround, and finally having to go to Amazon to get the problem sorted.

You can reset to factory, but you have to be able to access the settings to do so, so if it’s frozen or bricked you’d be out of luck. Best solution at that point is to force-reboot into iTunes mode and restore. Neither will work without turning off Find iPhone, if that’s enabled, first.

I buy almost exclusively from listings “Sold by Amazon” or “Fulfilled by Amazon” and haven’t ever had these kinds of issues. I know that’s not always an option, but I don’t like to buy anything from there that doesn’t go through Amazon’s warehouse first. It seems like they tend to, on average (not saying there aren’t…

If you get these please learn how to clean and care for stainless steel pans instead of being like most and buying them, using them as though they were a cheap nonstick, then leave poor reviews about how they “won’t come clean” or “look horrible after a week of use”, etc.

Now that this is updated with corrected information, I’d like to say that I wish they’d done this a week sooner, as I had need of a system like Drive File Stream a week ago. Oh well, managed to work everything out anyway. Now if only they could allow for a decentralized connection, allowing me to access files on a…

I, also, almost had a damned heart attack because I have an entire website dependent on how Drive hosts PDFs and allows them to be embedded with an archive that goes back a few years for publications. I was suddenly hit with the concept of redoing all of that work, which would likely take hours just to find the best…

I’m curious if there IS any method of preservation that would allow us to genetically “grow” an animal nowadays that existed millions of years ago. I know we found mammoth flesh frozen at one point, and people went so far as to cook and eat the thing (seemed like a stupid waste, to me, when scientists probably…

And giant glowing squid! Man, Sphere was like Event Horizon underwater. The movie didn’t do it justice at all.

Chutes & Ladders was one of the first ones we picked up for him. Helps with counting, paying attention, following directions, etc. It’s mildly upsetting because a lot of the kid-type games have a focus on failure with a touch of randomness, so he would laugh wildly whenever someone else went down a chute, for…

Right? It made me ridiculously proud.

I’m referring to the frequency with which I hear of people actually playing them. There’s tons being MADE nowadays, but I have several games that are known to be fun to play that I have trouble finding players for, and that most people I know haven’t ever heard of. It’s sad, to me.

Board games are awesome family activities. My 5 year old has started having a ton of fun playing them, and this past weekend when I asked what he wanted to do he said he preferred them over the Xbox because, and I quote, “I don’t want to play Xbox because we can’t all do that... so... board games?”

It’s interesting, board games have fallen so by the wayside that when I finally cleaned things up and got mine out I put them in a central location (above the walk-in closet to our house) so we can see them regularly. The frequency with which my 5-year-old comes to ask to play one is amazing. The past two times I’ve…

More often than not the only thing I say after telling my kiddo something is “understand?” or I’ll ask him “does that make sense?” This NEVER occurs when saying something like “It’s time to go”, “Get your shoes on” or “Time to get ready for bed”.
