I had a customer with one of those "eco" power strips on their computer and peripherals. Every time they turned on their computer, their printer went through a full post power failure cleaning cycle. They blew 400 bucks on ink before I came out and explained. Be careful what you cut power to.
Thank you for the link, I'd have been happy to read it, but I was unable to get the article to load in two different browsers. Most numbers I googled hovered around 60-70,000 metric tons. I feel like a world spanning freight train would hold more than that...
Just dumb the gameplay down. Then people using the wrong hardware can feel like badasses. That's what Halo did with aim assist, yes? To be fair, that's exactly how many PC fps's worked before mouse aiming was a thing. I recall it was a toggle as late as Shadow Warrior. As the desire to never "sell" another title grows, this mentality will creep across all aspects of gaming that require timing or reflex. They don't want to test your skill, they want to make you FEEL skilled.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to Realm Grinder.
I was watching some show about waste disposal, and I think they said something like "All the waste put together would fill a FOOTBALL FIELD!!!!1!!11!!!1one"
Is this some new form of deception that I don't understand? The kind where a normal person would think the claim was of great concern? You know what, I'm probably misremembering. Maybe that much was what got produced per year or something. It does give me an idea for a new sporting event though.
It was based on a tower workers saying they needed to power things up to test them, and photos of RF burn. Also, the premise of the fear is that proximity increases risk. It's a more logical course of investigation than rat cells in whatever petri dish analogue they're grown in, especially given how such studies are notorious for being hard to get good actionable data from. Or are you not aware of how many methods that have been successfully used to eridacate nearly every horrible disease in rats? If rats were good enough models, diabetes, cancer, dementia etc would have been eliminated by the 1980s. Those studies are not good enough for me.
I've read enough marginally relavent links about rat brain cells for one day. Come back with a link showing that cell tower workers, exposed to many orders of magnitude of the radiation, are suffering massive cellular damage and neural problems and I'll read it.
I had a customer spouting this stuff to me the other day. Super nice person, but "it changes your blood" and "It damages your mitochondrial dna" was among the stuff I heard. I wonder what the cancer incidence is among cell tower workers is though. All I can google is "They often die by falling." Gee, thanks, Cracked.
Your elderly mother is pretty good at dying from food poisoning, and businesses are pretty good about changing their names to avoid word of mouth. Especially when they can buy good ratings, a la the BBB. Better Buy...uh, Bonhomie.
The closest thing most android software keyboards have to fine cursor positioning involves swiping left and right on the spacebar. Course, half the time it just enters a space.
I used 2 iphones before giving up on the platform. I found 3d touch to be absolutely fantastic for text editing. I could edit long form documents quite nicely with it. Android's screen tapping or "swipe the spacebar" functions are an insult compared to 3d touch. It was also very handy for previewing things without leaving off what I was doing.
There's an old but good documentary called "Taken for a Ride" which has a few things to say about the topic. Namely that the plot of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is more true than you'd expect from as story involving coerced human on cartoon pattycake.

That's a damn shame. Poker Night at the Inventory taught me that I actually like poker.

Hey, I played Asheron's Call on dialup, and it was a blast.

Heh, cellular damage.

I was googling cell tower workers dude. The people who get physically burned by those signals. They're the ones I was googling.
Ok.

A friend of mine needs to know if this applies to robot girlfriends with machine gun jubblies.
Union carbide did nothing wrong!

My waiter gave me four star service. Please fire her.
They need to teach rating systems in goddamn grade school, apparently.
Some reasonable people think you shouldn't post braggadocio as an AC.
I was about to post this exact sentiment, but with more swearing.
How do people feel about addons like trackmenot which attempt to drown the telemetrics in noise?
It's trolling. If it was someone genuinely passionate about paper books, we'd have been told about why they are passionate about paper books.
If you're speaking of the paperwhite having a backlight, it does not. The light is indeed a crappy temperature though.
