I remember reading that (probably on imgur). I looked it up but first result wasn't promising: http://wafflesatnoon.com/2013/05/07/doritos-powder-hoax/ I can't really dig too much deeper becau

Mine when locked has a small touch section labeled 'emergency call'. I assume it goes through to 911 (or relevant number). I'm tempted to press it but it's not an emergency. I assumed most phones had something similar. E

The first two are fine by me. Sadly a lot of the teens I meet (younger siblings) think that soaking themselves in Axe means they don't smell. With a history like Listerine's I'm surprised I've never come across a chain e

It is even worse for the people who have bleeding disorders and can't take things like aspirin. I've found Vicodin helped with the pain from my teeth (pulling) but didn't do anything (except make me drowsy) when I scratched m

Just for the people who don't know it by that name[1]. Paracetamol is acetaminophen. Both are pieces of the same long drug name: para-acetylaminophenol [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol

Great for the post-apocalyptic world! Maybe good for short term natural disasters or outdoorsy types who want to stay connected. I find some humor in that having a cell phone on and charged is still 'off the grid' (I know they mea

I haven't done a lot of reading on self driving cars. No more than the occasional article on here. Do they have plans for cars that can operate in all weather conditions? I mean I never noticed if they ever said that the cars were onl

Probably not directly but you could use it to remember where you were and try to find someone who saw you. I can see it being used to help the prosecution with no trouble. I am just guessing though.

The images on apple.com make it seem closer to red. Maybe it's my monitor here are work (though other colors seem fine). Nothing wrong with pink, but you're braver than I. Edit: I went back and some of the other pictures make it a

Maybe because it's local (it's a credit union IDK how that is different from bank) but my bank lets me transfer my money to other accounts in their bank. Recently they even added that to their online services (it might have been

That is a good idea. Limiting the options so that the first bit is like a tutorial helps I think. About the animation speeds there were some that I just didn't need to see the animation at all but had no way of getting to the next page

Not really gameplay but the tutorial was slow (paced). I understood most of it by reading the text but still had to wait for the animations and had no way of skipping them. Overall it was actually more difficult than it appeared on the face

I don't disagree with anyone here. It had occurred to me that communication would be difficult (I don't think impossible). Mostly I thought the survival skills is what would be learned and then you'd be just like everyone el

I had a strange notion recently that if you were to drop the average person (not an Einstein or a Hawking) and dropped them into say the 1500s Europe. Most people think we'd be regarded as super smart and awesome. This comedian explain

What I find amazing is how recently things like germs[1] were given real attention. I'd heard about Ignaz Semmelweis from a book I read and to think less than 200 years ago you would go to a hospital and they didn't bother to was

I've often thought about "what if..." that smartphones would suck at that older phones were better at. Mostly if you couldn't see the phone (by being blinded or it's not in view). I do notice my phone has a small &#

I have never seen anybody reach the hose over their car. Not sure why but I'd feel silly trying it. Like 'look at me I don't know which side I should have put the gas in'.

How would that be different than replacing img1 with img2 on hover? Just curious. Mostly I'm indifferent to these kinds of posts because CSS is getting more complicated faster than I can learn it (it seems but it might just be me).

Do you need to have a savings that you can live off of for 6 months (if you can't work)? I agree with the others in this thread the idea of moving is very easy. Just getting a visa can be expensive.

Or fire from electrical failure. I'm sure it's rarer than the chances of a car crash though.

I assume that the video is only really reviewed in the event of complaint or when needed for evidence. Unless the goal starts to be to catch everyone all the time for everything.

Perfect! I couldn't have even visualized that. I just saw gears and didn't even think about a rod off that. Another thing that would be interesting is to know when some of these came about (some are older than people might think [

Some of these I had to see animated to even grasp what it might do. Even then I couldn't figure out what use it might be. A couple of them describe stuff that used it but most were just technical details. It would be nice if there was

So many people are saying they moved to a new country (or countries). Is there a trick I don't know of that you can just up and move? Or are the majority here rich or specialize in something in particular? I am assuming that people wor

I'm not sure if this is what you meant but mine always has a prompt of some kind (varied between phones) for connecting to pc. I'm not sure if there is a way to disable that or if it was phone specific.

"Would you trade your Chrome/Firefox browser for something 20-50% slower?" IE? I'm just kidding. I found after I upgraded from IE 7/8 (only had for testing) that 9 was pretty usable (haven't used past that). Ju
