Scientific Reports is the dreg journal of Nature, and this clickbait title of "become a muslim and don't get cancer" with its extremely low sample size and no control group doesn't help to improve that journal's sta

Looking for a great e-paper device, but the marketing of the video where deficiencies (no notifications etc) are treated as features sounds like bullshit spin and its really off-putting.

To satisfy the "C" of "ABC", I reckon this provides an opportunity for small companies to start up, with drivers as employees, to contract out driving work for both Uber and Lyft.

Dark mode still needs some work. It doesn't detect black text, and keeps it black on the dark background.
