That seems awful presumptuous of you to assume everyone without a smartphone is poor...

What if you don't have a phone with a data plan? 50% of the country doesn't have smartphones.

That's definitely valid.

Fair enough, it was a bad example.

Home made tacos are a terrible choice when you're drunk. You'll wake up to salsa all over the floor. Go with cereal, or a hot pocket.

I remember reading somewhere long ago that it is important to keep your place of rest separate from your work space (this was in college where your bed is right next to your desk usually). Something about mindsets, and if you are working in bed, then you can't as easily find good sleep there. I've always taken that to…

Yeah, and to be honest with you, despite the errors in scheduling, I still use Google because, well, its more convenient.

There is a lot of them, actually. At least 3 or 4 specifically for the Denver RTD system.

I have found it doesn't always work correctly. Here in Denver, it can't figure out weekend schedules for the light rail, and if I'm downtown at night it tells me my last train is at like 9pm when in reality they run until about 2am.

I dunno, I tend to hold my phone closer than 18" to my face for some tasks, mostly because I don't have 20/20 vision anymore and refuse to get glasses (yet).

"Waves of a massive medium itself, such as water waves or sound waves, are usually not considered to be forms of "radiation" in this sense."

carers => caregivers?

Yes. In fact I'm fairly certain that $8 figure is probably mostly accurate. This is the way of the world... You charge what people are willing to pay.

The way an incandescent bulb fails is that the filament gradually eats away at itself as the bulb ages. The heating and cooling cycles when turning on and off are unavoidable because, well, that's how they turn on and off. While you could use a dimmer to gradually turn on your lights all the time, it will still eat…

CFL bulbs are lousy in outdoor fixtures, because they're not typically rated for cold weather (unless you specifically buy cold-weather ones). They burn out way quicker, even if you leave them on constantly.

That's just unfair.

Yeah, I know but you get my point. There are situations where you just need more ground clearance. Snow tires will not get you through all situations.

Why does that mean they can't give them both snark?

Artificial? Sure, but I'd pay another $100 for that same calculator in an instant. I mean, over 12 years that's $8 a year for something I use everyday.
