More to the point, it's about pretending that we don't really have to die because people can't cope with how temporary our existence is, but it usually also comes with an origin story.
Religion is a set of fantasy-based, absurd fake explanations. Sticking with fake explanations that give you the warm fuzzies is the opposite of questioning origins.
Of course you can. Businesses change their terms of service all the time. You're not entitled to endlessly exploit any business that has set unprofitable terms, so needs to change policies.
I'd be disappointed if the stupid app posts aren't automatically posted by an app. It would be too sad if a person is manually posting that to every article.
You seem to mean well, but you're trying to create a false balance between the reality-based people that you call "alarmists" and the foolish propaganda-gulping "deniers." That's not helpful.
We know for a fact that warming is real, it's just that the propagandized right-wing lunatics can't accept that they're driving us all off a cliff. Hate-radio, and right-wing fake-news has done us a lot of harm.
Delusional victims of far-right media make this claim, but it's never been true. It's just a wingnut meme, to keep you in the cult, and you should be ashamed of yourself for regurgitating it. These tricksy Liberals you hate so much are just normal people, seen through a lens distorted by right-wing indoctrination.
Scientific community vs nihilist right-wing shills is a pissing contest now? No, there is no equivalence between sane people and the destructive right-wing extremists who are driving us off a cliff.
I'd like a tablet with an e-ink screen in addition to the color display. My Fire HDX is excellent for watching movies and TV when away from home via Netflix and Plex, but e-ink is a lot more readable. A tablet with an e-ink display cover would be cool. The e-ink could display message notifications in addition to being a reading surface. It looks like a lot of people have been working on this concept, and a phone was released with an e-ink back, but it doesn't seem to be taking off. I guess most people are probably fine reading from a regular tablet.
I just installed Ubuntu on a friend's XP laptop a couple of days ago, since XP is not safe to connect to the Internet. The laptop is now much faster, and comes with all the functionality that a non-gamer needs. The install process went very smoothly, much better than my Win 10 experience.
Chris Kyle meant well, it's just that he didn't understand how to help damaged veterans, or how to judge risk.
It's a shame he put himself in that situation, even though he knew his killer was unstable, and it's obvious that taking an unstable person to a gun-range is suicidal. I think he was too used to dealing with screwed up people, so it didn't set off the alarms it would have for most of us. Maybe we should stop sending kids off to unnecessary wars where they're guaranteed psychological damage, and likely to get physical brain damage.
His friends or family may have asked him to stop carrying a dangerous weapon, but he sounds like a smart, responsible gun-owner, who probably lives in a dangerous area.
You don't need to refuse to give your gun up, no one wants to take it. You just need to stay as sane and responsible as you currently are. If you feel your mind slipping, and anger rising, get rid of the guns.
The problem isn't guns in general, though we have a ridiculous number of them in circulation, the problem is stupid, violent, paranoid people with guns.
We recently had a nut with a CC permit mistake themselves for law-enforcement, and open fire on a fleeing shoplifter, something we don't even allow the police to do in civilized countries. There's a breed of lunatic that fantasizes about being a heavily armed hero, when really they're dangerous nitwits.
The Democrats don't need the anti-gun issue to get elected; That actually hurts their chances. All they have to do not not be as backward and fantasy-prone as the right-wing lunatics who called any sane Republican a RINO, until they became a party of reactionary dopes. The party of Lincoln is now blatantly the party of the Confederacy. They courted the racists in the 60s, and the religious extremists in the 80's, and now they're trapped in a death-spiral because the party is only attractive to destructive people who can't learn or grow up.
Yesterday morning I had a migraine. In the afternoon I let one of my PCs "upgrade" to Windows 10 after I reinstalled Win 8. I'm not sure which was worse.
At least the PC managed to roll itself back to Windows 8 when the 10 install failed. This was on a simple Asus motherboard, clean Win 8 install, AMD APU, no expansion cards, and only a KB and mouse connected to USB.
I did some side-by-side comparisons between a year-old Samsung 1080p set, and a new Samsung 4K set.
NetFlix 4K looks a lot better than their 1080p service, but just like the 1080p service, the video is over-compressed, so fine detail is missing. YouTube 4K videos look amazing.
>I was more thinking Gear VR style headset to take advantage of the higher resolution.
That does seem to be the main application of a phone screen that dense. I had hoped the Note 5 would have a 4K screen for Gear VR, but that didn't work out. Gear VR with the S6 is fun, but the pixels are huge.
Those of us who use VMs have different needs than the typical user. I have 16 GB of RAM, so I can run 3 virtual PCs at reasonable speed to test networked applications, but I'd only put 8GB in a PC that isn't used for VMs. This would still be a PC for serious use, just not for virtual machines.
It's much better now than it was in NTSC, but if you want to game with someone in the same room, for the best experience, you'll want a dual-view display so both of you can use the entire screen. It seems like this hasn't been supported on consoles since the Xbox 360 though. I'm happy Skyping with friends while playing online so we all have our own big screens. It's nice to still be able to hang out while living in different states.

If they're avoiding meat for ethical reasons, sure. If they're doing it for health reasons, probably not.
I'm thinking we should finish our descent into madness, and convert ourselves into Daleks.

>Both times I left with a massive headache which lasted several hours, and sore eyes which lasted a day or so.
That has to do with your head, not Avatar, where the 3D was done very well. 3D is not for everyone.

Browsing the web does not require FireFox. There are many better options, including Waterfox if you're really hooked on Firefox.

Grok is standard english. It's been in use for over 50 years.

LOL, no. You sound like a victim of hate radio, wingnut blogs, or Fox News.
