VOIP is another problem, because it actually has to be established right now by the caller and service. The location doesn’t just exist. It goes over IP, which isn’t detected by any 911 system I’ve worked on. In fact, many use VOIP to spoof 911 centers and prank them with fake emergencies. We had a call from New York…

911 doesn’t use GPS in most, if any, areas. It uses cell towers and such most of the time to “triangulate” your position, and sometimes that “ping” can take a little bit to accomplish. Sometimes it’s very fast and accurate to within a few meters. Sometimes it takes a bit to even get a remote location on your cell…

Exactly. Weed them out.

This article just doesn’t strike me well. I’ve lost almost 70 lbs since June 2016 and my biggest tool is my scale. You say all these things it does, but those are things you need to be aware of to make it a useful tool. Weigh every day and weigh consistently.

Bind a key for that.

Yes, building a PC is not for everyone. Most do not have even the basic level of troubleshooting skills necessary to pull this off. I recently built my wife a computer, and it was no piece of cake. The motherboard did not like Win7, but they claimed to have a patch. Well, the patch didn’t work. Multiple other problems…

Yeah, after reading all of this I am still wondering what the point of one of these things is.

Start your fire an hour early. I translated it for you all. You’re welcome.

I’ve done that myself, but it was mostly due to unjust things my boss and employer had done at the time. They put me out of work for about 3 months because they infested my house with bed bugs and said I had to have a professional fumigation from an exterminator to come back to work. That cost was $1000 basically. The…

“where summer is 9 months long” <- Truest statement ever.

Change it to “m’lady” and it’s an instant classic.

I know what you mean. My wife claims not to be picky, but she has a really, really long list of exceptions and rules to her food.

A TV I can agree with you, because they tend to only lose value, but that isn’t always true with a car and especially not a house.
