I used to carry around a Blackjack 2 running an NES emulator so I could tune out boring meetings. Everyone at the time just thought I was working on an email.

I actually carry my phone without a case. I do, however, have the Motorola Z2 Force, and have the Motorola TurboPower mod stuck on it all the time (in efficiency mode, the battery life is insane).

I've dropped it, and had the mod and phone fly in separate directions. Outside of a couple minor scratches on the metal frame, there is no evidence this thing hasn't been used gently everywhere I've had it.

I did notice they didn't mention continuing Twilight after anyone, seems more like a "Twilight shouldn't have been made."

Thank you! I thought that conclusion was pretty obvious to see, even if I hadn't known who Anakin was destined to become.

Exactly. My pickup currently has a cap on it, so it's not like it's difficult to hide a box. Pull up next to UPS, put box in bed of truck, drive off.

Not that I would, or did, just saying it's not hard to come up with a simple scenario of taking boxes from an unsupervised truck.

Please don't break down my door...

The BSOD on W10 seems to be a big frowning emoji attempt. Which took me a minute to realize what I was looking at the first time I saw it.

And here I was willing to ignore this guy completely, but now that you put it this way I kind of want to watch.

I don't want to have to dig something else out of my pocket.

The convenience of watching a video or reading a web page, get a text, slide out the keyboard and fire off a reply, slide it back, back to whatever you were doing was great. I just don't like touch screen typing much, generally why my conversations with my kids have devolved into me sending them random memes I have saved on my phone when they ask me something. This also provides the general confusion factor as majority of the time the response has absolutely nothing to do with anything, let alone what they asked me about.

Was also the only phone I generally ever responded to emails. I almost ended up with a Blackberry PRIV for this exact reason.

Same here. That was one of the major points of the original Motorola Droid for myself and my wife. We almost exclusively used the slide out keyboard.

With the right application of force, there's the sky pig. But they have a very short lifespan.

The problem is in areas such as where I live, there is no alternative. Nothing viable, anyway.

And any anti-monopoly cases brought against them are not likely to change anything for quite some time, so I'm stuck.

There are a multitude of reasons I tip well for all my delivery food. This is one.

Another is because I've had several delivery persons tell us that when they head out with multiple orders, if our house is on the list, we go to the top immediately. People you treat well tend to return the favor, who would have guessed?

There is mention she drives 7 minutes to the train station. I'm guessing it's more economical to pay for the train fare than it is to drive (gas, wear on vehicle, etc.)

I'm not in a completely dissimilar situation, having to commute to downtown Pittsburgh every morning. There is no public transit between where I live and here before a certain point, however. I'm fortunate enough to have a company vehicle though, otherwise I probably wouldn't do it.

It also allows you to essentially fix costs for a position if you're using H1B as temporary labor. New employees every 3 years means never needing to raise what that position costs you.

And as another poster pointed out above, these are rarely used to hire in workers of skill greater than they could find locally. I'm aware of a company that has staffed their QA department almost entirely through H1B, and their QA is not required to actually understand the product at all, just run specified test cases and report results. My dad is not a technical person and he could do their QA.

Generally the idea is to not leave it on the coffee table.
