If you want an even more confusing and problematic take on tourism in Japan....you should come visit Okinawa. This is such an amazing place with so many unique little problems. The entire island is an amazing dichotomy between profound cultural blending and passive aggressive racism. I say this as an American who is…

I’m inclined to agree, I’ve made a lot of batches of mead and a few melomels (mead + fruit). Simple is best: honey, water, yeast in a glass carboy, let it sit at a consistent temp for several months until dry. If you desire a sweeter mead, hit it with a little potassium metabisulfite and backsweeten with more honey or…

Something tells me my old Nikkormat FT won’t sell for as much. It works beautifully though, and I’ve got just about every lens and accessory you could get at the time!

I’ve always thought all the Doctors in the series where an integral part of the show. In a way they where practicing “frontier medicine” of the stars and maybe it’s just because I have a background in wilderness medicine myself, but that really appealed to me. I’d watch the HELL out of a Star Trek that had the main…

There’s been an enormous increase in antimicrobial resistant microorganisms in the past decade and almost no new antibiotics, in part to the overuse of antimicrobials (such as those in soap). Realistically the biggest factor in this has been the livestock industry, but the whitehouse put out an action plan last year…

If you have Project Fi, does the SMS messaging function still work through it?

Considering you can send SMS and call over hangouts if you have project Fi (in addition to hangouts video calls)....the functionality is already 3/4ths there...

Classic Shell is infinitely better, more customizable, and completely free.

Thank you, these where my initial thoughts as well.

CHRIST I hope you’re being ironic.

Fair enough. Though I’ll say that’s more an argument for scrutinizing public figures than it is for gun safety, which is still pretentious.

For as long as I’ve been alive a break action shotgun that is open and cleared can be slung over your shoulder - it doesn’t negate any of the tenants of safety, it’s just common sense. The trigger and firing mechanism has been completely separated from the barrel, it is two inert pieces at this point. This is like…

Yeah....still not convinced of the benevolence of day 1 DLC. Still see it as a giant mound of horse shit. The rest is a good read though, kudos.

My hops didn’t do well this year (very dry) so most of what I had wasn’t worth harvesting. Instead whenever I pour myself a beer I’ll just go grab a small handful and throw it in the glass; it is always amazing. After I’ve run out of my homebrew I’ll sometimes grab a case of some cheap swill and do the same thing -…

I know exactly what you mean. The radios in my N5 took a shit on me 3 months ago (I was trying to hold out for the 5x, damn it) and made an impulse buy out of the N6 that I planned to pawn off on my wife and upgrade to one of the new Nexuses anyway. Now I’m unsure about which to get either! I have very large hands but…

I’d disagree with that man and I’ve never been one to buy into gimmicks. Not sure who told you it’s slower and bad on your battery but both statements are not true overall. It was honestly convenient, I built a kick ass little qi charger for my car with magnets strong enough to hold my phone up and a nfc tag to get my…

Phones break man, I’d be using my Nexus 5 still if I could be, but the radios took a shit and it makes no sense to repair it. I love qi charging, it wasn’t a gimmick and I can understand the sentiment of it being a missing feature in the new Nexus line. I don’t think I’m as passionate about it as above, but it is…

A decision Verizon regrets in a lot of ways, I think too many people discount the popularity of the Nexus line. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them being a little less rigid in their exclusive phones this time around.
