But do they now have to give pre-flight warnings about not using Samsung washing machines on the plane?

Mashed bananas are useful in some recipes, though.

Back when I was a college student with an LG mini-fridge in my dorm room I could've used this. At least, if it was smart enough to send me a warning "hey dumbshit, you left a can of pop in the freezer and if you don't get your ass back here soon it's gonna burst and make a blood mess."

Note 7 was a bang!

I'll bet Microsoft is keeping careful track of that.

I don't know about ignoring the warning. There was no ignorance. It was more like willfully disregarding the warning because listening to music quietly is simply not cool. Not cool at all.

I think the best thing about Delhi is Hauz Khas, which is, of course, a beautiful historical building, within Delhi. Or a few old ones together. Quiet, somewhat run down and a peaceful spot in a city of awesome chaos.

The flip side is the horrendous air pollution, nonstop coughing for nine to ten days (the lengths of the trips I had there), leading to some of the worst nosebleeds I've had in my life.

Hey, I do babysitting for $15 an hour... Here's my number, 36-24-36, give me a call...

Wait? What? Is this well known? Because, damn, reading your comment, that might just solve the problem of why all the customers of our accounting software are pissed off at us...

I don't get it... Why are they calling 300 square feet "microunits"? Sounds like a relatively normal size to me... Of course, I live in midtown Manhattan, so for $2,200 a month my wife and I get a 350 square foot place in a building with 20 of them (though I think unit 1D, by the stairwell might be smaller). We have a nice kitchen...

I've got the first generation Lytro. It was a nifty toy for a while, but ultimately I wasn't happy with the quality of most of the pictures. Except for in bright sunlight they were all pretty grainy and dark. The changing of the focus is neat on some where something is very close and others are very far, but if everything is middle distance to far, it's not interesting.

It was very hard to come up with good lightfield images that matched the demo ones on their website.

Maybe I should take it out again, take a break from walking around with my SLR for a weekend or two, see what I get.

Mt. St. Helens's 1980 eruption was the biggest thing I ever got in trouble for. Really...

Early in the morning, everyone was asleep and the house started shaking, and my father yelled from the other room "quit jumping on the bed!" and I yelled back "I'm not!" and the rumbling didn't stop, the blinds clattering against the windows and he yelled "Dammit! I said quit jumping on the bed right now!" and I yelled, "but I'm not!"...

I was in big trouble... They grounded me practically for life, for not stopping jumping on the bed and lying about that.

Fortunately later that evening we watched the news and I was vindicated... It really wasn't me.

This is why I use neutral density filters on my camera... I like to keep private details, like the aperture, private!

Yup, I'm sure Ad Blockers can cause cancer. Just the other day I saw an ad "beat cancer with one weird trick" and followed it and paid and now I won't get cancer, but all those people who blocked the ad will!
