I love this, but I'm curious as to how much it can grow. The neighboring town to me has 5 craft breweries on its main street. All of them are within a 1 mile of each other. It's even crazier since there are also 3 winery storefron

I'm sorry, but I don't really feel comfortable letting Amazon into my home. To be fair, I feel the same about UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.

Until Google is willing to truly support their Pixel/Nexus devices for more than 2 years, I'm not sure what difference this will really make. Not that Samsung and others are all that great, but I guess I had hope that Google might

Agreed. I have the series 2 and have started running without my phone since the series 2 can still track my runs without it. The one thing I kind of miss is listening to podcasts while running since I still would need my phone for that.

My main issues with the NFL and why I can't support them are 1) NFL knew about the risks and hid them and in some cases deliberately deceived the players about said risks. I seem to recall that only a couple years ago the NFL told the

There's currently a lawsuit alleging the NHL hid the risks to the players, much like the NFL lawsuit. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/apr/05/nhl-concussion... And the rates of CTE in former N

Good for him. I stopped following football after watching League of Denial on PBS. If I'm at the bar or something and it happens to be on, I might passively watch it, but I haven't sought it out since. I just can't support th

I got the Series 2 in January. I love it, but can also see why it might be more of a niche product. $400 for a watch isn't exactly cheap and I know many people who opt for their smartphone over any kind of watch.

I generally agree that you should think about what you're doing even if you're told to do so. That said, for someone 18 years old without a lot of life experience, when you're being told to go to college, that you need a coll

I do something similar when I'm cooking my eggs in the morning. I tell myself that I turned off the stove as I turn it off to help remind me that I turned the stove off. I don't like wondering if I turned it off or not on my way
