Apple sets it to “Everyone” by default, which is a terrible design choice.

Holy shit, someone actually didn’t at least have it set to contacts only? How long have we harped on security folks?!?

I’m also in Portland, and thrilled that I work from home. I know people who are planning to just “bop up” and see it at the coast or whatever, and I just don’t think they realize how unrealistic this is.

Working in Portland, OR. 99.8 coverage, the freeways and side roads are going to be an absolute nightmare.... Working from home that day.

A friend of mine living out west was telling me that she expects rural and suburban Oregon to be completely overrun with out-of-towners.

Yup...I finally erased all my music from Apple’s terrible Music App after it deleted all my playlists *again* and it *still* played “from the cloud”. I mean WTF is that?

The magic pill to being underwater? Keep the car you don’t like anymore and you wanted to trade in, keep paying down the loan, and eventually you will have paid off the note. It is called being a responsible adult.

A good article but, as appointed already, missing a few key answers.

In the middle of the way between “Going on the attack” and “Educate the masses”:
- It’s not your business. Plus, it’s a rude question to ask, you should stop asking people that.
- Not everyone can or want to have children. Why do you assume I can or…

Potatoes, including the white ones, are high in potassium and a number of other nutrients and vitamins. They are quite nutritious for those of us not freaked out by carbs.

I didn’t watch this so I may be wrong but I doubt that any show/movie promoting a plant based diet says that refined sugar is ok. For one thing a plant based diet is about being healthy and for another, most refined sugar is not vegetarian.

That’s not at all what cowspiracy was about.

As a vegetarian, I find these studies preposterous because they clearly reflect the biases of the lead researcher(s) (and possibly the sponsors) more than anything else. If the intent of the study was to truly compare different types of diets and the risks of heart disease, it would have been more rigorously designed…

It’s not about leading voters to the Democratic side - the Republican nominee for President has won the popular vote only once in the last quarter century (Bush in 2004).

There is more than one kind of meditation. For instance, there’s compassion meditation, in which (I’m simplifying it a lot) you are instructed to visualize easing the suffering of a person you love, yourself, someone you’re neutral towards, and someone you dislike. Studies found that those who practiced it for two…

Seriously though, buy several types of apples, see which one you like best. Eat that for a while then switch to the one you liked second.

Counterpoint: You’re going to die. Enjoy the ride.

I like to make a casserole or big pot of something and eat off if it all week.

that sounds like hard work way above my pay grade

I’m going through this right now. I posted something on FB that I knew would incite some disagreement (nothing political/racial, music based), but realized that I didn’t really feel like playing volleyball, so I just didn’t log back in after my first volley. I stayed off the rest of the day. My phone told me how…

A bit, yes. There are still a few tweaks I’d like to implement that ios just won’t let me. Pinning icons to the bottom of the screen rather than the top, for example, as well as customizing the toggles on the swipe-up Control Center.
