Are you an Android user? If so, you can switch Location mode from “High Accuracy” to “Battery Saving”. That just uses 3G location and/or WiFi location. Find My Phone just needs “location services” running. It doesn’t need GPS. So not perfectly accurate, but it should be good enough for you. I’ll add that I used to…

Men can be scum in varied different ways. A friend’s husband just left her for another woman (and apparently also spent their retirement money as well), and wants nothing to do with his four kids. In my spouse’s family, a father dumped his kids off on relatives when his wife died (in the 40s I think). In my family,…

I’ll also add this radiolab is really interesting and includes the original of the “viability” test : http://www.radiolab.org/story/update-23-weeks-6-days/

Another potentially interesting side effect would be an increase in paternal rights. Now, the idea that a biological father could stop an abortion isn’t realistic, because it still would force the mother to carry a pregnancy she doesn’t want. If the fetus could be moved to an artificial womb, that would change the…

I can’t find it now, but I watched a long documentary on YouTube about the history of breeding over the last 100 years or so. (It covered dogs and cats), and showed the drastic differences that have been bred in over that time. These animals become caricatures of themselves. The siamese cat as an example, now looks…

I’m a big fan of Robin Robertson as well.

My best advice when starting is to be willing to branch out, and experience a lot of different foods. I eat a much more varied range of foods as a vegetarian than I did as a meat eater. And don’t look to replace exactly what you used to eat with a veggie version. Although there are amazing replacements, like PPK’s…

Give “Beyond Meat” fresh burgers a try. They are pricey, but wow are they really, really good. We were at a party with a party with a bunch of meat eaters, that basically all agreed it was a better burger than those from a cow. The frozen Beyond Meat burgers are quite good too, but the fresh ones are much better.

I don’t think this was on anyone’s radar, but since Trump mentioned it... where was Barron the whole time? Was he having play dates with Russian children during the campaign? Was he playing international spy instead of doctor?

The Flintstones gets chopped up too. I prefer that they speed it up to chopping and discarding bits though. Also interesting, is that they do this even for live shows (by starting with a buffer). I believe Rush Limbaugh’s show (barf) was one of the first to do it live. The software would also remove pauses…

As a parent of two kids... Fuck these parents. They have no compassion at all for their child. If one of my kids was in this situation, I would’ve pulled the plug myself to end their suffering. That is compassion, putting aside your own grief and thinking of the child’s suffering.

I used to use hard lenses, and would occasionally have one pop under my lid while removing it. In that case the feeling of “irritation” was akin to feeling like a fist sided rock from a fire was under my lid.

Absolutely, I think that was the one that seemed most implausible to me.

I’ve thought the same thing reading a bunch of these reviews. Like they read like wish-fulfillment fan-fic. To the point that I question if they are telling us the truth.

Alexa, sing me a song.

You could try OwnCloud. That has a photo gallery among its features.

You can use Crashplan as the software part of this for free. And it’s very easy to setup. They only charge if you are backing up to their cloud. If you backup to your personal network or with your friends it is free.

I think his ad-lib about wanting to kill Quicksilver in Ultron was as good, or better. “Nobody would know… ‘last I saw him, Ultron was sitting on him!’”.

Sarah was also, surprisingly, the topic of a very interesting Moth story, by Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC. https://themoth.org/stories/angel

I’ve been very happy with BLU. $100 for my first one, $170 for the next one. I’d call it mid-range, but considering the price value for my BLU, I would never even consider $500 for a OP5.
