You are aware that he just likes the sound of his own voice? Especially if he is making himself look good? He doesn’t care what he says as long as there are a bunch of cheering people listening to him, the media puts up headlines about him (good or bad). The best thing for this guy is radio silence on everything. Not…

I would be worried about condensation getting into the device, even when you put the Surface in a plastic bag.

Talk to the people you trust and know that you consider successful couples. Not the new ones. The long timers. What are their attitudes? How do they communicate with their spouse? How did they pick their spouse? How they look at life and each other are why they are successful together. Sure, there will be a little of…

Or demand a new room when the hotel gives you a room that was never cleaned. The hotel — a low end one after being displaced by the airlines onto a flight the next day — gave us a used room. The place was barely occupied. The manager upgraded the room and gave us meal credits. At least the room was “clean-ish”. I will…

This article falsely assumes that the person who is asking for tech support is willing to put in the time to learn. 95% of the people who ask are too lazy to figure out the problem out themselves or practice enough to remember. I’ve told my parents that I was willing to pay for lessons at the Apple store (when they…

Well, I believe this should include people with food allergies: they are picky eaters because they are unable to eat certain food(s).

The picture stopped me: gah! Crazy eyes. Anyone with that zealous look tells me to back away slowly and run the other way.

Early morning flights during the work week cost more money, not less. Business travelers prefer this time slot, so the airline charges more for this route.

I’m using the included headphone adapter and not missing the lack of a jack (like I thought I would). The only thing I did was buy an extra one from Google, just in case I lose the adapter.

It must be me. Every time I hear people who talk like this, I think: “You’re full of **** and have no idea what you’re doing.”

You should also know that these commercial DNA tests could make you involved in a crime committed by a relative: http://www.wired.com/2015/10/familial-dna-evidence-turns-innocent-people-into-crime-suspects/

My issue with gluten free mixes (cake, brownie, frosting, etc.): too sweet. Commercial mixes seem to think by removing gluten = add more sugar (and maybe no one will notice that it has no gluten and doesn’t quite live up to the real thing).

My app menu is mostly white. Not translucent. So my comment stands. Weird screen.

I’ve always figured the flat ab-ed people had lipo or didn’t eat.

I wonder if it’s retention? I noticed that the Pixel 2 XL’s screen is WEIRD. When you pull up the menu, you can see parts of the wallpaper underneath, making it “appear” like there is something wrong with the screen. I had a landscape wallpaper of a cliff, where it cuts diagonally across the screen in portrait mode.…

• Do you ever clean your oven? About once a year. Unless something spills, then that is cleaned right away
  

I don’t mind my iPad when reading in long sessions. I use a black background with white words for all my Kindle apps. I had a Kindle (years ago) and sold it because I found it inconvenient compared to an iPad. I’m not a big reader under direct sunlight, so the e-ink/no glare/brightness wasn’t necessary. Besides, if…

My pet peeves:

I have a hard time justifying the purchase of a pure e-reader when a tablet/phone using the Kindle app works for me. If I’m reading something that needs looking up (historical events), I prefer the browser rather than the clumsy Kindle one (mind you, it’s been years since I’ve owned a Kindle.) It made more sense when…

Not agreeing with you on this one. We had a black widow spider that set up residence outside a rarely used porch door. The house was poorly maintained (a rental), and that particular door had gaps around the frame. The spider found the area inviting and set up shop with an egg sack. I saw the spider and the sack ...…
