I think that’s deliberate on the Rams part. They are trying to make the case to the owners that they need to move, whereas the Raiders (SF Bay area! Economic growth!) and Chargers (SoCal! Economic growth, tourism, good climate) just want to move.

At the most extreme, you could say that the plan is to so completely…

Thrift stores are particularly great if you can find ones that aren’t overly-picked over with staples that don’t change a lot over time (men’s dress shirts stopped giant sails of fabric like 10 years ago, and men’s suits/outerware stays stable for decades), or for things that can easily be repurposed (my girlfriend…

Right, it is theoretical and there’s a lot of ‘what-ifs,’ particularly since we don’t know if Google’s “no steering wheel” view will trump those of others who want a ‘driverless button’ on a normal car.

Unlike a lot of replies, I use public transportation every day and like it because I think it’s good for the environment and also helps create a shared sense of community (and brings social and economic benefits to a lot of people). However:
I don’t think that the question is either-or. and I think driverless cars will…

(I like your question and will respond to your parent in a minute): One thing: The theoretical capacity of any given road is way higher than it’s actual capacity in practice, because drivers “don’t drive right:” they accelerate too quickly, and hit the breaks too quickly, which causes problems for cars behind, since…

I think it depends where you live, and where in Canada you go. The US and Canada are pretty similar culturally if you travel in north-south bands; Alberta and Texas have a lot in common, as one example: Both flat, fossil fuel industry is important economically, as is farming and ranching, both are more right-wing than…

That’s my concern as well. I just got a Nexus 5X, and so am having to deal with needing an additional kind of cable everywhere (microUSB for Kindles, tablets, Bluetooth speakers, and travel battery packs, Lightning for my girlfriend’s iPhone, and now USB-C for my phone).

It’s useful because on this one, you still have two standard plugs, so you could, in theory, charge two devices and plug in two things all at the same time. I say in theory because a lot of things would probably cover up at least one of the USB plugs.

What side is “our side?”

It’s also worth noting that “for the military” often means “buying expensive weapons and being more willing to use them,” which contrasts pretty sharply with “for the troops,” meaning “for the people, however many there are, who work for the military,” but that’s not popularly discussed.

I’d argue that “more smaller carriers” has advantages for each kind of conflict.

That depends a bit on where you live and what phone you’re upgrading from. First, let me say that the situation is temporary, and there will be a patch released (probably within weeks) to support T-Mobile’s band 12 for both the 5X and 6P.

Band 12 is a lower-frequency (700Mhz) band that T-Mobile’s been deploying over…

While talking about dumb Google names:

Not all of its content. Not productivity apps, not books.

See, but Apple’s pretension at least results in names that you get. Sure, if you take off the brand name of Apple Watch, it’s just “Watch,” as if they invented timepieces, but at least you know what it does.

Wait until they release a distinct, stand-alone player for YouTube Red. It won’t be Android TV (either version), won’t be Google TV, won’t be Chromecast.

Yeah, I get that they had to come up with something for apps, games, books, music, videos. Play works for games, music and videos, but not for books or apps. It also just sounds more “consumer oriented” than not. It’s hard to imagine someone trusting say, a tax app they found in
“Google Play”

It’s even worse than just naming things horribly, they also can’t seem to avoid naming different products the same thing. In May, Google announced Weave, an open protocol to connect smart devices in your home.

You’re also forgetting the BS “upgrade fee” that they used to charge of (IIRC - I haven’t bought a phone on-contract since 2010) $18-$36, which was total BS because you were also locking yourself in to 2 more years with your carrier.

What’s nuts is that that represented 10-20% of the “cost” of the phone to the…

I can’t speak for the Fire (HD? HDX?) 7, but I’ve got a Fire HDX 8.9 and it seems to have battery life comparable to my iPad, and better than a Windows RT tablet I had at work.
