    That does seem problematic - been going without this summer but planning on some Transitions soon, wonder if my tune will change then. Works fine with facial recognition I'd imagine though, right?

    Iris has worked for me in the dark with a bright lock screen - but if I use one of the default mostly black ones it's a no-go. I adjust my lock settings when I get home though anyhow - since the bright lock screen was an eyesore to me. Setting alarms, turning off my screen lock and marking all...

    One million dollars!

    It's weird how it reverses once you're idle for a couple years - I'm so happy that I've found a contracting gig for my old career now that I'm back in the swing of working, so I don't have to 9-5 forty hours a week and have complete control over how and when I do my work - but still have nearly...

    I hated the idea of it on the back, but it's not terrible as you get used to it. (Moreso in my case for the "health monitor" thing for Blood O2, etc next to it for me, but still) But again, it only really seems there for those that don't want to adapt to the newer better versions. (Iris and...

    Why use Fingerprint at all with the recent Samsungs? Iris works FAAAAAAR faster and more accurately in my experience.

    Neat - looking at getting it and I think that'll seal the deal for me biting.

    Too lazy to search the thread - but from reading the Fortnite website buying for PC gets PS4 as well it seems? Is this accurate?

    Bagel for Publix out here were in the row only since they're Kettle Cooked - whereas the others they endcapped since they're regular. Not sure if your stores would do similar.

    They've got them at Publix out here - grabbed the Everything Bagel - they're quite solid, legit to the taste of an everything bagel - the difference in texture though is a tad confusing lol

    I've got a feeling that's going to be a constant thing all season for Jerry - they stuck one in at the beginning too. (Laura had missed it, it was more subtle I guess)

    One million dollars!

    Shrug, I just know for me that my "Fibromyalgia" that was causing me to have absent seizures, falls from lower extremity weakness, difficulty handling objects with my hands at times (weakness, but not complete like my legs were), etc. were never explored as psychological for all those docs I...

    With those health issues, I'd suggest getting a few double checks with some high tier neurologists/rhuemetologists/etc before giving up your life to it. Your situation sounds shockingly like mine (except my employer was accomodating for about 2 years and you could remove the HIPPA chapter) -...

    One million dollars!

    Seriously, I'd buy a Tesla S - and get off my ass and buy a house down here - invest the rest. Although would probably only be about a third left at that point - assuming it's post-tax, if it's pre-tax it would already be gone I guess. (Homes I like down here are $350k+ range, Tesla S is $250k IIRC)

    Yea spoofed 443s since we did the same with our old MD numbers are a giveaway to us as well. I couldn't vote since I own multiple lines but 1 of the 3 is fine, the other two are getting bombarded.

    All this freeze seems thematic, but I can't imagine it'll be terribly fun for the massive amount of aggro players.

    Maybe if-when there's a tech to not require separate charging for small BT devices where they can transmit a shortrange energy source from the phone. Before that I can't see a full market adoption of it.

    I seriously doubt it. I don't know anyone who uses a BT headset that doesn't carry a backup 3.5mm. And I know people that have actively avoided an iPhone 7 upgrade as a result of it.

    It doesn't really follow the books (unless I've REALLY distorted my memory of them from ages ago), but it is amazing. Frankly, I think it's better than the books - unless Hitchhiker's, Dirk's never really resonated with me.

    Hell, if you're feeling gluttonous ours even has the Mt. Italy... Arby's | Mount Italy Looks amazing, but I've tried a Meat Mountain before and couldn't even hurt a quarter of it (while hurting my jaw from the necessary attempt to be a boa constrictor), so I know the fates already on it for me.

    Must be a locality thing, ours still has Loaded Italian - and even removed the "Limited Time Only" from it.

    See that's a 4-5 song album to me, personally. I really find PJ is like Beck in that regard - they range quite a bit so while a given album might be a hit to some people, to others it's largely a miss. Almost every Beck album I could listen to front to back, but Sea Change I don't think there...

    Oh fuck me, I really, really hope I don't have Crohn's but that description is hitting close to home with some stuff I've always blamed on my bowel malrotation. [Especially since the entire concept of an endoscopy/colonoscopy scares the shit out of me]

    Doesn't surprise me at all the hear that. He's got a bit of a waver/stammer in his speaking that always read to me as some discomfort with the limelight.
