Except he resigned from this last term, so, correct me if im wrong, but, I'm pretty sure he's back in, in January, for the next term he was just re elected for.

You'd be surprised how a pokemon go player will open the app in the middle of the wilderness, even with one questionable reception bar, just to see if there's a secret rare pokemon that lives there. Bonus if you get a postcard from a pokestop someone submitted, because that trail mile marker is "special." You can keep it for memories, or send it to a friend you've never spoken to, for bragging rights. It's also not unheard of, for people to crawl through backroads in their car, since the app won't let catch pokemon or count km's, if you go more than +-15 mph.

These are just examples, I have no opinion on what is the best.

Something like: I like the cameras from the Galaxy s23, the processor from the latest Pixel, the memory from the Razor. I mean whatever. I suppose Iphones could be included, but I figure it's more locked in than androids, I could be wrong.

Or even replacing a part from one phone with one that's better, for personal use? Like, even just putting pixel 7 cameras into a pixel 8 phone.

Besides the factory warrenty, and money spent, is it software? Is it having to reconfigure the hardware? Is it just space in general?

If we all have things we don't like about our phones, why aren't we able to just make it more to our liking?

I'm honestly confused how she could write a story where Harry Potter triumphs over he who must not be named, when he who must not be named was her hero.

It must have been really tough for her.

At this point, I'm almost convinced they purposefully gave him the chance to take his shot.

It's almost as if ignoring a problem, doesn't make it go away.

Im talking worst case scenario, something like Station 11 or the movie Contagion

If the bird flu started spreading rapidly from human to human, and it devastated our population as it can in birds or marine life, how long would one have to hole up in seclusion before the virus burned through the population and it would probably be safe to come out.

Obviously, this is not the current situation, and this scenario is a long way from becoming any type of reality. This is just a hypothetical. If turds hit the fan, I dont want to waste time trying to figure this out in the moment while everyone's ill, and can't answer.

Move over B's, I want first dibs on the tp!

Edit: I'm not thinking of a flu, as it behaves in the human population as we know it. I'm talking like zombie virus, without the worry of reanimation. Like, pretty much, everyone that catches it, dies, and it spreads fast and stealthily enough that the end result is a drastically lower population of survivors. How long would a person have to stay isolated to outlive the worst of it.

Omg, I ate the onion.

I sat there like...is this real. Wtf. Had to go back to the my main page before I realized where I was.

I'm using a new app. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

As interesting as that would be to happen, in reality, there's just going to be a bunch more people going without pre natal care.

I'm not Gen Z and I hate the damn sex scenes. There was a minute there where netflix would just add one within 15 mins of every show or movie, even if they never showed another one again. It never added to the plot and seemed like it was just there to reel people in. But, it was obnoxious.

Glad they sort of stopped that, although I still find it happens now and again. Hopefully this puts the nail in the coffin.

Maybe I am a prude. So what!

I was not a previous sync user, but it seems to be a beloved app. Although...

I am somewhat surprised at the use of personal data in the privacy policy.

I understand a guy's gotta make a living, but with all the hype, I'm not sure I expected this.

They lured people into spending money on getting awards. Now they are not only removing the award system, but going back and retroactively removing awards that have already been given out, effectively taking peoples money and not providing the service that the money paid for.
