I know this is a bit in the weeds, but I recently got an LG V10 on T-Mobile, and there is an option in the Calls menu that allows me to "Reject calls from all private numbers". I can also add numbers to a call reject list, as wel

Regarding the Vitamin D3 and K2 quotes, I have seen the same information from multiple sources. Vitamin D3 is what your body produces, and what you would get from eating fish. When I've read up on the topics I've never seen any

Pickpockets have been a perennial concern on the DC Metro system. One of my coworkers had his iPod pulled out of his hand, resting on his stomach, while he was sitting with his eyes closed. Transit isn't somewhere I'd want to be

Having worked in identity management, I suspect that some of the benefits are oversold. The chain of identity proofing for a traditional driver's license involves both "who is the person who holds this document?", "how

There can be odd behaviors with third party apps, too, and if you get dependent on that service you're at their mercy if they don't fix the issue. I mentioned in a separate comment, Sunrise substituted a generic email address for

Integration of third party tools with Google Apps is nice, but having been burned using Sunrise and having had more than enough troubles using Gmail outside of the web app (such as via Outlook or Thunderbird) or native Android client the sh

That is a pretty interesting idea for a sub-plot, and can be worked in more realistically than the amnesia/split-personality kind of plot that is more common (Memento, Tyler Durden). Sort of an exploration or investigation of a charac

I've been thinking about this, as well, and would be interested to see your thoughts on it, even if just a cut and paste of your advice to ak217. My email is brerlapn at fastmail.fm. Much appreciated...

You can install the Amazon Video app on Android now via the Amazon app. No Chromecast, so I haven't really used it much, and it doesn't look like you can tell it to download shows onto your SD card instead of internal storage. I

It's funny, but I actually have more innate suspicion of people saying "it's not so bad" than I do of the doomsayers--and I know better . One of my favorite quips is "just because it confirms your worst fears does

Would this be used in conjunction with an authorization API to control access to the interface? So you would have an OAuth API to be able to even make a call to the ABI, which then has the built in security features of limiting security-th

I've been known to drink Budweiser. Does that mean that I believe that women will suddenly find me sexy and the Swedish bikini team will appear as I pop off the bottlecap to lavish me with scantily-clad attention? You are conflating t

IMO, you're getting downvoted because your judgment of people on AM assumes facts not in evidence (i.e., that users of AM are there to cheat on their unknowing spouses), and then judges those people based on those facts that only exist

I haven't done a deep dive into how DDG works, but "In Partnership with Yandex" is on the search results. Yandex is a Russian search engine, and while you may find the NSA snooping intrusive and obnoxious, Russia isn't

Rhapsody allows search by composer. Search "Gustav Mahler" and you get all of the recordings of his work, regardless of the orchestra or if it's in a compilation with other composers. Looks like Google All Music does the sa

You're making a fair point--and feeling like you have everything on the line at every step is most likely going to ramp up someone's level of anxiety and stress with all the negative impacts that entails. However, I also think th

Field Notes have the quadrille pages. The cover is cheaper and less durable than the Moleskin cover, but the pages hold up fine, and I'd rather have pages that don't lose integrity. If you're looking for a larger size noteb

He was responding to the "guns are legal in the airports", which in many places in the US they are outside of the 'secure' area. I don't think he was disputing that TSA misses guns.
