As a kid in Phoenix my parents forbid setting the thermostat below 80, unless the humidity outside was low enough we could use the swamp cooler instead of the air conditioner. Now I'm comfortable at 78 with a ceiling fan, to me 75 is c

Google updated the original Pixel to Android 10, which was nice because that was beyond stated major updates period. That was followed by a single security update before it was abandoned. I don't understand why they wouldn't keep

This is great, having every app, unsorted by default, on the homescreen/desktop was one of the most annoying things to me about iOS. I have a regular habit of running General->Reset->Reset Home Screen Layout to get an alphabetica

Its really intuitive, if you are going a little too fast you just let up the pressure on the pedal. You don't have to think about if it needs to use battery, regen or coast to maintain the speed you want. In that aspect its like using

The e-Pedal in the Nissan Leaf is wonderful, if you lift your foot off of the accelerator completely the car will apply optimal regen until the car stops. Its really freeing not to have to look at the regen gauge at all, I just keep my foot

I finished an associates degree at 38 from a community college, one of the credits I used was 20 years old. I would agree some of the classes were box checking and pointless. The degree itself isn't useful but it did make me take a few

I still have and use their disc rental service. I go to dvd.com and it forwards to dvd.netflix.com where I only rent blu-rays. Maybe they would have had better luck with a different name.
