But somewhat, killing 5 million people every single year by the tobacco industry deserves government protection, and is not very frowned upon. And we probably could say the same (with even worse numbers) for the alcohol industry or the conglomerate behind global warming denial.

Being from a country where mate is basically the national drink, seeing a metal straw is nothing new, in fact looks too plain compared with the variety that you are used to see everyday.

We are forgetting an important actor that we are feeding when we eat: our gut flora. Fiber promotes “good” bacteria (associated with less fat, risk of diabetes, etc) vs the bad ones. How fiber feeds your gut and your health

Time vs quality matters too. I’d say that the time spent on ST:TNG would be well spent. But in time vs quality the grand prize is taken by Black Mirror. It would take less than 3 hours to see it whole, but it would change how you see the world around you.

Not all sleep is equal. What about amount of deep, REM, or whatever you call it sleep?

You can always pause it. If you are working or just browsing the internet late, it may help to catch sleep earlier. Is your call.

Install F.lux for late working/reading. Too much blue light late at night will disrupt your sleep cycles.

Being member of a higher level dimension as superpower could make you the biggest hero... or the biggest foe, or even the biggest clown.

Monitor your sleep cycles and try to wake up at the end if them, near your usual wake up time. There are a lot of devices that do that for you, I'm partial on that to the xiaomi mi band, but there are a lot of alternatives.

For me the important ones are ability to install ddwrt/openwrt (a lot of routers have vulnerabilities or even builtin backdoors and updates take time to appear if ever, and you could get far more functionality/features with them), USB connectivity/ram/cpu (with openwrt you can have a network/media server, even expand…

"best" always depend on the criteria you choose to measure them, the ones you pick, the weight you give to them.

They not only offer just bundle of games, but also ebooks, audiobooks, and comics.

Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?

A couple of years ago would had added there a Nokia N900. A great pocket computer, but not so good phone. Today i would choose a netbook or a small enough alternative with an RJ45 port.

Neither one: fully flashed is the way to go. There are ROMs better, harder, faster and stronger than the stock roms. And you can try to own your android instead than being owned by it with guides like this one

Be aware of how much of your perceptions is about you, your feelings, preconcepts and (sometimes early) memories, and how much that shapes your perception of reality. A taste, a smell, a color, a sound, that it is good or bad may be tied to the first times you perceived it and how you were feeling then.

The most complex part, for a personal/family mail server, is the dns part. You must get a domain and point the mail server for that domain to your pc/server (but may be services that simplify that for you, maybe even free for subdomains).

KDE programs run in Gnome, Ubuntu's Unity, and windows managers, you need the libraries to run them, not actually running that desktop. What may suffer in some cases are desktop integration (i.e. being default action to open some file types, embedding parts into other programs, notifications and so on), but anyway…

#0 attach a PC to it as monitor running xbmc/vlc/whatever and control it from your cellphone/tablet/wireless keyboard+mouse. There you will have most online services, your video collections. Your SmartTV won't be as smart as your pc as the world keeps changing while your tv won't.
