Go to Ess-a-Bagel. Not the midtown one - the one on 21st and 1st. It'll explain everything.

It's a typo. The battery is 3450mAh.

Yeah, but you get the idea.

Man, the end of this article is morbid. Also, does this make anyone else feel like Bicentennial Man is in our future?

Jude on Head-fi does a pretty detailed review of unit and one of his comments is that it really doesn't fold down. He stresses that if you like compact, you might want to check out the V-Moda XS (I personally prefer the M100, but that's me).

This makes me think of the Mach 5. I'm waiting for Speed to jump out and pose.

Does this remind anyone else of the Improbability Drive in the Heart of Gold?

If you're doing stream hiking and don't want to carry around a full bottle, there are a few other options as well. Lifestraw is probably the best current option if all you're looking to filter is bacteria and minerals while on a hike or camping. You can literally stick it in a water source and drink, and it's only…

I know this is old, but I figured I'd respond. To get the kind of filtration you'd need to drink directly from a cap while filtering biology, including viruses, it'd take quite a long time to get the water through the filter. Most of these portable devices require pumping or some sort of physical exertion to make…

Apparently ShortPaste has a memory usage issue, which I imagine contributing directly to battery drain. Has anyone tried this app out yet?

S'what happens when you have more and more people eating from fewer and fewer farms. And why everyone, who can afford it, is buying local.

I'm not sure if it's "legal," per se, but nobody judges you for going to a farm and buying "farm fresh eggs." My understanding is that in order to commercially sell them, they need to go through that process, but if you choose to buy from a local seller, there's usually no issue.

You can certainly find local farm eggs if you look for them, but it's rare to find them at a supermarket. For commercial sale, it's mandated that they're processed beforehand. That said, if you leave a major city, you can find unprocessed eggs on almost any farm.

A lot of people in the states are raised with the instructions to wash the outer layer because when you peel it, you can often end up with the outer layer touching the inner layer. Because they're often covered with insecticides (read: poison) along with various other chemicals, it's usually a good idea to at least…

Agreed. I live in Hell's Kitchen, and every now and then I'll see a Hummer drive by. I just shake my head.

Skynet.

WHAT! I MUST GO WATCH ALL OF THIS. Also, thank you!

God RvB was good.

That's a good point. Weather is a huge issue. SoCal has a similar issue for the west coast, with the third highest homeless population in country behind NYC and Los Angeles (by the numbers, not by population percentage). Folks move south because the weather is "perfect," but realize how inhospitable the area can be…

Many states have started homeless family-reunification programs, which I appreciate. If you're homeless and trapped in a city with no money to get to your family? These programs make tons of sense. I just get disgusted when it feels like cities and states have chosen mandatory relocation for the homeless because…
