Yay again to motorola for once again staying with the microsd slot! I maybe the few who still want the expandable, swappable media option on my phone, but it really is a feature I look for. Many of my old phones have served as wonderful backup phones and media players.

GrubHub is especially heinous of this... so many stories. Grubhub will make you pay for their mistake regardless of the promises of the restaurant (often very kind people) and ultimately stick it to the restaurant for whatever else they couldn’t get away with. Did you know that ‘a full refund doesn’t include this, and…

There used to be a rail car on the bay bridge too! https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/50-years-since-trains-crossed-Bay-Bridge-3217302.php#item-85307-tbla-3

Linus Tech Tips did a secret shopper experiment recently with ibuypower and a couple of the competitors. It’s worth browsing over at least the a few of the multiple ep series.

I still thinking about going back to it now. There’s so much splintering of streaming services, I might as well just wait for the DVD releases since it’s not like I watch things as soon as they’re available anyway.

At this point I’m wondering whether it’s a rolling coal mentality. 

My compliments to this well written summary. I know next to nothing about Eve and I can say that this article was a thrilling read for the initiated. 

Bioreactors that take in waste material and gives us rare metals. 

He was definitely the relatable Peter Parker for some of us. Just like the old days of teenage Peter Parker as some of us were first introduced to him.

I would definitely go the foreign language route.

My dad did this. He had a really loud whistle (something I never learned). In some cases it was used as “I’m still watching you” signal when I was about do something questionable as a kid.

Thank you for sharing! I hope California treated you well, it’s where I am! ^_^

Congrats! I’m working up the nerve for my first international trip next year
 (not counting one I apparently was on with my parents when I was 4 or 5 evidently and don’t remember). Last year I visited New York City on my own (it’s cross country for me) and it honestly went far more well than I expected.

Don’t be sad, on that day, the primary mission will be for them to delivery those golden records to someone. Think about it, mission directive: first contact! 

Absolutely. Right now I’m in the middle of the https://voyager.gsfc.nasa.gov/Library/VOY_library.html rabbit hole and all of it is pretty beyond me.

Oh my gosh, this site is still running? https://voyager.gsfc.nasa.gov/ 

I’ve always wondered this myself. Are the kids going to be embarrassed that their grandparents and maybe their parents were borderline super villains or are they just so well bubbled in luxury and brainwashed, we should just write them off and leave them in the bubble..

Obligatory reminder of the great PBS documentary “The Farthest” that I believe is still available on netflix. http://www.pbs.org/the-farthest/home/ One of my most favorite facts I learned from the documentary is that the probe’s computer has the processing power of a keyfob!

It seems like they’re getting close enough for my fav dream communication device of the Global from the Earth Final Conflict series.

John Oliver had a fantastic segment on civil forfeiture laws a while back. It was informative, entertaining, and mildly depressing all at the same time.
