Whenever I buy a new piece of electronics (say, a new iPhone or a new laptop), I call it my new toy. Toys aren't just for kids, just like fun isn't just for kids.

Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game in the series (IMO, and I haven't played either the Gamecube or Wii U games). On top of that they are still releasing content for it! I bought the switch to play Zelda (back in March) and I&#x2

This is awesome and is pretty accurate wrt to average-to-best case scenarios on trips with and without transfers that I'm familiar with. Kudos to the author.

As an addendum apple released a fix for this less than 48 hours after it was reported (I think I've got the timeframe right), so there's something to be said for irresponsibly disclosing to light a fire under the ass of whomever i

I had to put it in a couple of times the first day I got my iPhone X (2+ weeks ago), but I do not believe I've had to enter it again since, having done several actions that would require Apple ID authentication since then.

I would be okay with drug tests that didn't fail you for weed. That can show up on a test weeks after it's been consumed. The drugs that would actually significantly impair you (alcohol, opiates) clear out of your system in hour
