I’m pretty sure the entire Kim line has just been puppets.

If you have an unlimited data plan, but a limited tethering plan, using a VPN on your PC may prevent the carrier from tracking hotspot data use (depends on the carrier, and whether they added spyware to the phone to directly track hotspot usage)

It’s probably not using the special W1 system with the nexus 6, and falling back to standard high-power bluetooth

Here’s the thing though, there are electric shutters in use all over the world that work reliably for decades. The only difference is that they sit inside of ductwork, and block airflow instead of light.

Its very interesting that they made a Bernie Sanders ice cream, without even asking what kind of ice cream he likes.

What brand do you normally eat? It’s better than something like Kemps or Blue Bunny

Toasters used to last forever. You could take a toaster from the 1930s, put a new power cord on it, and it will still make toast like it was new.

I think that is more of a commentary on how bad W1 is, not bluetooth in general.

If you wanted to be really fancy, you could put a temperature sensor in every room, and use the blinds to regulate room temperature during the day.

A nylon bushing on the output shaft of the motor riding against another nylon bushing on the input shaft of the blinds, under spring tension, is enough for that. Just make the slip force slightly greater than the shutter operating resistance, and use a worm gear as the output shaft on the motor, so that the motor…

Why, apart from dick flexing on the part of the current administration, would we carry out a preemptive attack on N.K. for conducting the sixth nuclear test they’ve done?

Someone tell me what opinion to have

In the UK, you can even drive them on public roads, with a class H license (I would assume rubber tread covers are required, as to avoid destroying the pavement)

Modern capitalism at work

Amongst children who had daily access to touchscreens, 51 percent were between the ages of six to 11 months, and 92 percent were between 25 to 36 months.

Peter Capaldi told the New York Times his regeneration won’t be as “straightforward” as others we’ve seen.

If you buy something, at what point does it actually become yours?

The e-ink screen he used is only a quarter of the resolution of the mac plus (246x176 vs. 512x342)

Back in 1839, these sorts of painting were really expanding the field of art beyond just literal reconstruction.

I never understood how making the lines crooked, or painting things as if you have no concept of perspective or scale, somehow makes the painting “better” than a realistic portrait.
