And on a great day you don’t need to check your phone?

Marshmallow allows you to turn off permissions individually, but results can be erratic.

Night vision goggles built into those helmets. Ability to control dilation of pupils. Different from human physiology (being a long time ago and far away). Lack of attention to science. Take your pick :)

Damn you, now whenever someone say “let me check my phone” I have to try hard not to snigger.

Is it part of the IMSI or in addition to it? I definitely don’t remember it here, but with number portability, even if it is there, it may not be the same.

R’lyeh is in the South Pacific (either S 47 or S 49) which is very cold. This is heard in the Carribean. Which part is not at all wrong?

I have no words to describe this. And I can’t stop watching it for some reason...
