A company I worked at used to have an annual mini golf hole contest. I hollowed out a computer and ran the ball through it in some 1/2 pvc pipes with the cd tray popping in and out (a batch file from a boot floppy) as a moving obstacle.
I'll chime in on the aspartame==migrane bandwagon. I don't use caffeine, but consuming things like crystal lite can trigger migraines for me. I don't have the same problem with sucralose or sugar.
I have also had the same reaction from accidentally consuming a diet coke (handed to me by my wife to hold and drank absent-mindedly).
They may not be legally requred, but they have to maintain the grid to service the customers alloted to them by their franchise. My local power company is just finishing a huge upgrade project in my area because of population growth overloading the main feed in the area. We were getting bad voltage drop on days with high loads. Hopefully it will be better this summer. There were days the voltage sagged enough it had trouble starting my AC compressor.
Facebook keeps showing me one of those also, for mine they picked a photo I took of a flood at our lake home. Images of our docks under water, tree limbs floating by, with a happy party border. I laugh each time I see it, but I can see not wanting some photos being revived onto my feed.
As someone who lives on a lake I see neighbors buying dumptruck-loads of sand every few years and laugh at them. Peach reservation is all about coutour and slope. My little piece of lakeshore includes a parabola shaped cove around 50' wide at the mouth and 50' deep with a gently sloping floor. I've been there 18 years and haven't had to buy any sand yet, the wave action washes the sand around my shore cleaning it naturally, but the shape of the shore keeps it in the cove, in fact my neighbor to the north bought 30Tons of sand and put it on his shore (that happens to be shaped like a peninsula. My beach gained 3' over the next few years as his sand washed into my cove. Anyone who wants a beach shouldn't be screwing up the shoreline that created and preserved the beach in the first place.
Let's compare time checking procedures: 1: phone
A: pull phone out of pocket/holster/purse...
B: correct orientation of phone and bring in view of eyes
C: activate phone
D: read time
2: Watch
A: position arm so watch is in view of eyes
B: read time
I'll take the watch, when my metawatch died I kept glancing at my arm to see the time.
I was carrying a smartphone 10 years ago, my new one is faster, prettier and better integrated, but does it do anything the other one couldn't... nope. Just polishing there, no innovation that I can see. In fact the battery life is significantly worse.
"I have always found it interesting that a lot of folks would prefer that such problems didn't exist when even simple logic seems to point to the fact that it is human caused. Common sense tells you that if a billion of us start to burn things it might have some negative effects. Heck, I remember as a kid we use to dig holes in a riverbank for fun and over time with a few sticks we managed to amazingly reshape the entire riverbank. Granted maybe I shouldn't be so hard on folks who refuse to believe in it. After all if it doesn't directly affect me and I can't do anything about it, it doesn't exist right?"
You do have an identical control riverbank you can use to demonstrate that the same changes wouldn't have happened without you and your sticks, right?

If you don't have a broad general knowledge in your field you are merely a hammer looking for nails.
... Where did you find a TouchWiz running phone with 3GB RAM? the only Android phone I iknow of with 3GB is the LG G3, and it doesn't run TouchWiz.
Actually I didn't click on it, Facebook conveniently placed a simulation of the year in review for me to see on my feed.

He gave up after that sand washed away and rocked his shore rather than fighting nature.

Isn't this basically what the original palm computers did for text entry?

Where did you find a modern android phone that supports usb mass storage, my S4 only does MTP.
I had somewhat smart watches before (timex datalink), but I love my metawatch.
that's only true when you compare the mustang's 0-60 MPH reading to your escort's 0-60 KPH rating.

Except for the radio firmware, and on samsung the radio firmware can do arbitrary reads and writes to main memory.

Alcock and Brown had to chip ice off the air intakes for their engines.
Not sure which flight you were referring to.
The first thing I did was re-wire the place.
My house had 14ga on 30A circuit breakers, the guy I bought it from bragged it never popped a breaker.
$99 price for someone what doesn't really need glasses, just the blanks for my glasses cost more than that (I'm a -13).

I'll be downstairs beating my nephews in Mario Kart and Cell Damage to avoid those uncomfortable discussions.
