Oneplus was quick out of the gate with the One, and then just as quick to fail with the 2 and X.
No better (or worse!) battery lives, no NFC (which I use on my Nexus 5 daily), no SD slot because... Apple did it too? I hear a lot of people say NFC was to save money. OK, so they saved money not including a $3 chip and antenna, but but a fancy aluminum frame on it. Makes sense.
Seriously, all I was looking for in the Two was a longer battery life than my wife's One, and hopefully an SD card slot. Instead they lost a feature I use constantly, the chance to extend battery life, and a sale.
Wireless charging is great until you need to use the phone while it's charging (comes up so depressingly often my wireless charger is plugged in the same outlet as a standard USB charger).
It has the google search-as-you type spyware like all browsers, but you can disable it. Supposed to harken back to ye olde Opera interface, but built on a modern framework.
A lot of times, I'm pretty sure what they're doing is taking their foot off the gas and resting it on the brake. But the brake switch is sensitive enough that this makes the brake lights come on.
I've got a manual transmission honda civic hybrid, and the hybrid system braking effect is tied to the brake switch in the pedal, so it's pretty easy to suss out exactly what pressure on the pedal will trigger the light. I tested it and found that I can lightly rest my toe on the pedal no problem, but even a slight bump will kick in the regenerative braking (and the brake lights). Probably what's happening 90% of the time.
The other 10% are inexplicable stupidity like this morning when I got stuck behind some fool who braked down to 22 mph in the 35 zone we were in and there were no intersections or ANYTHING anywhere near.
Leviathan Wakes has probably some of the best depiction of asteroid claim-jumping I've seen. Along with the wild west of poverty-stricken miners trying to eke out a living. Highly recommended (the rest of the book/series is "pretty good," but not amazing).
He made a muzzle velocity comparison, then cited velocities. Comparing with the "gun" from the article which gives only a velocity. Then you respond with "but you're forgetting mass." WTF?
Don't you mean the reverse? I thought obverse was the front... which makes it seem like you're saying we are already going back to intelligent people running the government.
Not trying to be pedantic, but you seem to have chosen a fancy word on purpose here and I want to know (in a non-sarcastic way) if it has an alternate meaning.
On my work machine, I uninstalled the update, and it came back.
The original KB# wasn't listed in the installed updates list and I was also wondering what the new number to remove was.
Guess what? I ran
wusa/uninstall/kb:3035583
from the command line anyway, and it was silently installed (and not listed)... popped up the uninstall dialog and the notification went away. Rechecked for updates and rehid it and it hasn't come back.
Even the US-spec Moto x pure (2015) has: 3gb RAM, the same hexacore snapdragon 808, a microSD card slot, larger, higher-res screen etc. All with a starting price of only $20 more (and you can usually find a $30-50 off deal if you shop around). And it has pretty much vanilla Android.
Looks like the Nexus magic (getting a great deal) is over.
Yes, the first definition of a "mill" is: a building equipped with machinery for grinding grain into flour.
However, further down are: a building fitted with machinery for a manufacturing process. "a steel mill" a piece of manufacturing machinery. a place that processes things or people in a mechanical way.
So it follows that looking at the definition of "windmill" gives you: a building with sails or vanes that turn in the wind and generate power to grind grain into flour. a structure using wind to generate electricity or draw water.
On the other hand, something like liquid batteries (useless for transportation, obviously, but great for fixed installations) have a pretty much unlimited lifespan, as the interfaces are all just immiscible liquids and most everything that kills regular batteries (dentrite formation, crystalization, membrane degradation) are not present. Likewise manufacture should be fairly cheap:

BMW's already beat them to it.
Et tu, REX?

What phone is this?
Oh good, a jack with all the negatives of the standard 3.5mm, but it's now directional, and you still can't plug standard peripherals into it.
Sounds just like the apple solution.
Have you tried Vivaldi?

Weird, my US-spec 1987 Civic Wagovan had FI... I take it Honda continued selling carbureted engines elsewhere for a while or something?
200% of the price IS 100% more money :).
I usually just use the old stuff my friends with more money than brains upgraded from.

Cool beans, thanks for clearing that up.

I'll see your comment and raise you 0x5f3759df.

Scummy shit.
If ever there was a pompous post dying for a lmgtfy link, this is it.
Not only that, but the range is only 100km (62 miles).
And the 0-100km/hr time is 10 seconds. A Honda Civic with the crappy CVT will do that.
Maybe he mistook cuckolding for henpecking?

The good news is, depending on the year, you can get a better aftermarket battery than the NOS crap Honda is selling anyway.
Call Eli over at Bumblebee Batteries, he'll sell you a battery for self-install no problems. Heck, even Dorman sells new hybrid batteries now.

Bought a replacement from them for my 2004 HCH ~3 years ago, works like a champ.

They closed both stores near me :(
