    I'd love to see a citation for that, but I'm probably arguing with a Russian bot.

  4. Yeah, there's an app that lets you watch on demand or dvr stuff on your phone, home our outside. You can also control the dvr from your phone and change channels or start a program.

  5. The x1 interface is almost as smooth as netflix and includes the netflix app. My wife loves it. It's an extremely smooth interface that switches easily between dvr'ed programs, on-demand, and OTA. If I turn on an OTA movie that avaliable on demand, it will often offer to restart the on-demand stream so I'm not tuning in mid show.

    Take it from someone who worked at HPE for a couple years, the ones sticking around at IBM are not the cream of the crop. More then 5 years should be a black mark on your resume.

    The moto z play has an expansion port with cases that take advantage of it. Expansion ports never take off.

    My daughter has a Pixel, which I bought for her. I was a little dismayed to realize it has an always on microphone. If it hears music, it pops up the name of the song.

    Her android account is part of my custom domain, so it's pretty locked down, but I haven't seen an option to disable this.

    Motorola can make phones with headphone jack and excellent battery life. I'm certainly behind the curve, but my Moto z play last all day and generally has 40 to 50 percent left.
    This has been my experience with other Motorola phones. I'm not sure why Samsung can't put a decent battery in their phones.

    So should i just shout, "Evangelical Heresy" at you now? Cause you know it is.
    I believe in doing good works, not dogma, not an old book written by people, and not a moldy institution. I appreciate the community of my Catholic Church.

    Rather Illegalization, but I guess the point goes either way. Aside from the fact that making it illegal damages a subset of people's freedom.

    Your data is highly suspect, and my argument has nothing to do with women killed. My argument is bodily autonomy. The point of the link was that legalization does nothing.

    I actually teach a Catholic Sunday School class for 1st graders this year, but I've done other grades. Your either willfully wrong or poorly educated. There is nothing new in Catholicism. It borrows heavily from Stoicism, Jewish traditions, and other pagan traditions. It depends heavily on the area as Catholicism in Mexico City is quite different from Catholicism in Ireland. IMHO, that's one of the beautiful things about Catholicism.

    The bad things, are the zealots and blind ideologists (which you seem to be). Those are the people that protect the institution and destroy lives, as seen in Pennsylvania recently.

    The other thing I've noticed bleeding into Catholicism (again, something I see in you) is a heavy influence from Evangelical Christians. Evangelical's don't really worship God, they practice a sort of self worship. Jesus basically told us to love each other and worship one God. They seem to have decided that's impossible and instead set up all sorts of litmus test they can measure people against, for example sexual purity. This gives them a solid way to judge people, something Jesus explicitly warned us against. Once they measure someone and find them wanting, they can discard them, be cruel the them, etc.

    Don't worry, I'm teaching the kids to guard against that.

    I read your blog and I think I'm going to have to end this conversation. I'm not changing your mind and your not changing mine. You are too far into the Conservative Catholic mindset.
