Comment Re:Yes, there are good android tablets (Score 1) 129

I've got the Galaxy Tab 6A Lite, and use it for the purposes described by the OP, plus some light gaming, no problems, and it's a few years old now. It replaced a Tab 3 which still has good life in it as well, more the OS is aging out than anything.

Been happy with both investments, FWIW.

In the previous post on this topic, I pointed out that an object entering the atmosphere from space would be going so fast it'd blow a hole through the plane, not 'bounce off the windshield'.

Shouldn't that have been obvious from the start? Or is this more of a clickbait kinda topic?

Comment Re:Inaccurate headline. Not ending POP (Score 1) 48

This is what I'm wondering as well. IMAP isn't an option, just POP3.

If I want to use my Gmail account as an 'email client', my only option to connect to an external email address is via POP3, at least in Canada.

Is this the case elsewhere? I don't see IMAP as an option with the 'Check email from another account' option in the settings. Their 'Learn More' button says:

====

Add another email account on your computer
In a web browser, at mail.google.com, you can add:

Another Gmail account.
A non-Gmail account like Yahoo or iCloud Mail.
You can add up to five email addresses to your Gmail account.

In the Gmail app, you can also add another email account.

However, you can't add accounts like Exchange and Post Office Protocol (POP). Learn how to add an account in the Gmail app.

That's interesting because in my social circle fewer and fewer people are on it, or using it.

I'm kinda stuck with it for work and org-related stuff, and get the feeling lots others are the same.

And in that line of thought, I run several accounts...but it's just me. But I guess that's more in their count.

Beyond the bots, there's probably quite a smaller number of actual humans looking at IG.

Err I think that's more coincidence than anything. I am highly doubtful that's the actual causation.

According tho this, if a woman found herself in a famine state at 9 months, then she wouldn't give birth until more food was eaten? That's not how it works.

If you eat more butter than you can absorb, you'll still absorb a LOT of it, as much as your body can, which will be more than you need.

Sure, you can eat so much that you eventually shit it out. But most people don't eat THAT much. They still eat way more than they have any need to.

You seem to dwell on total fringe scenarios that have little bearing on what 99% of the population is actually experiencing. Stop bothering me with that shit.

Next you're going to tell me water is dangerous because you can also drink too much of it.
